I saw a thing that suggested Raiders. I'm sure he'll get along with A.B. Whose head he tried to take off in that playoff game the Bungles blew.

I'm guessing no say whatsoever. A lot of cooks in that kitchen with Coughlin, David Caldwell and Chris Polian.

I'm guessing Cook wants a lot of money coming off his career year. But he's older and he can't block. It appears that guys like Kroft, James are the ones getting paid in free agency because they can do both and are still young. I don't like Croom, but he is essentially a younger, MUCH cheaper version of Cook. His career has been up and down and he racked up some stats on a terrible team and he made that one huge catch for the Packers that time. I've always been very eh on Cook and I'm guessing teams have as well becuase no one has committed to him.

This is pretty much what we had with Whaley and Marrone. Wasn't there a story where Marrone was super pissed we traded up for Watkins or something?

Whiffner certainly tackled like he only had one eye.

I actually love this idea. He brings a veteran presence and could be a nice pick, kicking into a 3 tech.

I just keep coming back to Bob Babich. If Tremaine is the guy he wanted, then I really can't question it. The guys he has developed over the years, including HOF Brian Urlacher is hard to argue with. Plus you have Lance Briggs, Telvin Smith, Denzel Perryman. he also helped Melvin Ingram make huge leaps and strides when he looked like a bust and made Poz into a pretty impressive MIKE. Gotta trust Babich on this one. Add in the Brain Trust of McDermott and Frazier, you basically have like 75 years of coaching experience that hand picked this guy.

All I know is that my Madden team is a lot better now.

I LOVE Devin White. I really do. The one thing I will say here, is that drafting White, the majority of a game is played in nickel and dime defenses. So that means that Milano, Edmunds, or White would only play about 50% of the defensive snaps. Now you could play a big nickel and use Milano as that nickel guy. Now I liek Milano's coverage ability, but I don't want him matched up in the slot with a reciever. Also, that means that you are essentially taking Taron Johnson off the field. In order to avoid being too long winded, drafting White makes Milano, Edmunds, or White a two down player. Now I do think Edmunds can rush teh passer at the end spot. He was projected to be a 3-4 OLB. If they were going to use Tremaine that way, I'd be for it. All that said, there is a precedent here. The Panthers drafted Shaq Thompson in the first round when they already had Kuechly and Davis and he was essentially a two down player until last year. It's a nice way to develop a young guy, but I don't love it when you have 3 young studs.

This is one, and I don't say this often but there is absolutely zero chance for him here. Maybe the Jets, seems like a Greg Williams kind of guy. I could see the Ravens too. I guess he and Matt Barkley kind of have a relationship...

I think the key here, in my mind anyway, is that Morse is the better player. Beane also wanted a bigger body, which Paradis does not provide. Obviously PFF says one thing, but Morse is better across the board. I think the PFF stuff is cool, but I don't put too much weight on it. I don't know that I expected Morse to get more money than Paradis, but I'm not surprised.

I mentioned him in one of my million spaghetti throwing posts lol! But I got Mitch Morse so I'm good!

I am guessing they just don't want to tie up to much money in the defensive line, with Bosa coming up on the 5th year option. Who knows? They probably think that they can plug anybody into their system and get production.

They really are in a tough spot. They have no cap space., but they have a nice roster outside of their o-linemen. They are in win now mode. They are paying two starting corners over nine million and they have a 90 million dollar quarterback. They are ripe to be taken advantage of.

Eifert re-signed with the Bungles, but there some interesting tight ends left on the market

Makes a ton of sense for him to go to the Rams as a rotational pass rush guy.

Another thing about Cook, and I am speculating that this could be a factor, but he had his worst statistical seasons playing under the guidance of Rob Boras, who is our tight ends coach. When Boras was the OC, he recorded zero touchdowns. Maybe its a factor, maybe not. Latest rumblings have him winding up in New Orleans.

They are in a tough spot right now. Their line is a mess. I actually think they could be a team that tries to trade up for Williams or Taylor. I would trade down to 18 in exchange for their 2020 #1 and something else. I saw they were interested in Josh Kline and moving Riley Reiff to LG....but what's the point of buying a quarterback for 90 million guaranteed and then scraping his carcass off the turf? And just to add to the doom and gloom, their offensive line coach is Rick Dennison...

Good read. Thanks for sharing!

Side note on Kyle Emanuel I mentioned up top, he did play for linebackers coach Bob Babich while he was with the Chargers and they were fairly close as they are North Dakota State people. Emanuel projects as a SAM in our defense and has the ability to start if they wanted to move Lorax to more of defensive end role. As I mentioned, he is an excellent special teamer.

His veteran savvy will win them too many games

I thînk we need an end, a defensive tackle, another tight end, and linebacker depth that can excel in special teams. Cassius Marsh - So I said it somewhere else but I would love to have Cassius Marsh on this team. Can play off the ball SAM, and can rush as an end. Can play some wide nine. He's also really good on special teams and he hates the Patriots. Perfect fit imo. He's only 26, will be 27. He recorded up 5.5 sacks last year in a part time role. Obvious Clayborn and guys like that make sense, but Marsh is more versatile and gives you special teams play. Eric Tomlinson - Really big blocking tight end formerly of the Jets. He was set to be a RFA but was not tendered. 6-6, 263. Great special teams guy and will throw in a catch or two. Perfect 2-3 who serves as almost an extra lineman. Should come cheap. If you watch the Andre Roberts highlights, Tomlinson is often making the key kick out block that springs him. Other names out there are James O'Shaugnessy, Maxx Williams, AJ Derby Albert McClellan - he's an older player at 33 but he's linebacker depth who is an excellent player on special teams. Kyle Emanuel is another excellent special teams player formerly of the Chargers. DJ Alexander formerly of the Eagles works as well. He's been a pro bowler for special teams before and and would be an excellent addition. As we've discussed all over the board, we do need a three technique player. Maybe its Darius Philon, mentioned above. Maybe Corey Luiget. Honestly I think this guy comes via the draft, or a release of someone who hasn't been released yet.

I think it's okay to draft for need late in the draft if the grades on guys are close. But never do it in the first three rounds. Especially not in the top ten.

I think he definitely had some ups and downs, but I like his upside. I do think Feliciano is going to give him a real competition, and I won't be mad if he wins. I think, as others have said, that Teller will be so much better playing with an experienced center. But I'm excited for the competition.
