Great points. I love the idea of bringing on Mike McCoy and Joe brought up Rob Chudzinski...I honestly try to get both. Overhaul this entire offense with a new offensive staff. And a new QB.

We need more speed here. Brown is just too slow. Milano is really the only guy who fits this defense. Our lack of speed at the linebacker position is really what cost us the game in my opinion. Bortles scrambling could have been limited with more athleticism at the linebacker spot. That and the inability to get to the passer really hurt us. Dynamic, athletic linebackers in the mold of Deion Jones and Telvin Smith are what this team needs. Most importantly we need a Mike. One of the problems is that there isn't going to be much on the free agent market unless guys get cut. My first call in free agency would be to Tahir Whitehead to make him my MIKE. I also try to sign Star Lotulelei, then suddenly I feel better about the front seven. Draft a defensive end with one of the first round picks and you effectively fill some holes.

Jacksonville's defense is stacked with high first round picks. The GM did a great job of surrounding those guys with veterans like Campbell, Jackson, Church and Bouye. It's the value of sucking so long. The difference between Jacksonville and the Browns is that Jacksonville has drafted better. This is Gus Bradley's defense with a couple of vet signings. Marrone had very little to do with that and he seems like a major prick. I'd roll with McDermott and his incessant clapping any day. Obviously.

Rosen and Darnold are the only two franchise type quarterbacks in this draft in my opinion. They fit in any system and while they have some flaws, the huge potential is there. Neither should start right away as they are both just 20 years old, though I do think Rosen could start right away. I think Josh Allen has this potential as he has all of the tools, but he needs a lot of work. Without development he could just be Blake Bortles. I put Drew Lock in this category as well. Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson are really hard to place. They are both awesome college quarterbacks who don't fit a traditional quarterback type. I think you can win with them if you build an offense around them. They are awful fits for our WCO, just like Tyrod. I don't think Beane touches either of these guys personally. Jackson is also just 20 years old. I think they can be good, but you are placing your future on their shoulders and I really think McDermott and Beane are way too conservative for that. After that there are two guys who could be successful early but are probably system quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Luke Falk. I think they are both good fits for our system but I'm not sold on their physical talent. They may just be slightly better Nathan Petermans or Trevor Siemians, or they could be the next Tom Brady. Then the next tier are guys like Ferguson, White, Stidham, Finley etc. Basically total crapshoots. Therefore think the quarterback next year is a veteran like Smith. I do not think it is Tyrod. I think we try to trade up for Rosen or Darnold. If we can't get them maybe Allen at 21 or 22. If not I think they draft someone like Falk or Rudolph later. I think the QB decision really depends on what we do at offensive coordinator.

If you are the Colts you at least consider 2 firsts and Cordy Glenn for Luck? I guess it depends on how you feel about Brissett.

I know a lot of people like Baker Mayfield, but to me you have the same problem we have with Tyrod. Baker is not a WCO quarterback. He is a guy, like Tyrod, like Lamar Jackson, like Mariota, that you need to build an offense for. Sticking Baker Mayfield in Dennison's offense solves nothing. That's why I like Mike McCoy...he made Tebow serviceable, worked with Manning, Rivers...I think he can make an offense fit any skill set.

Future is very bright. So glad to have the monkey off our back. I told my wife I was wearing my Andre Reed jersey to work if the Bills won. I changed my mind and I am going to do it anyway. The season was a hell of a ride.

If you keep Dennison you need to find a guy to run the West Coast Offense. It just does not fit what Tyrod does well. You can win with Tyrod, but you have to run an offense that fits his skill set. So I think either Dennison or Tyrod go. To me both should go. I think what we do at QB will be dependent on what we do at the OC position. However, I will say that Dennison's play calling sucks and Tyrod's fit in the offense also sucks. The WCO works...it isn't the scheme. See what happened with Jimmy G in San Fran. They were bad and then good and all they did was get a QB who could run the WCO. I probably trade for Alex Smith and hire Mike McCoy. And have McCoy and Smith get together and install the KC offense. Let Smith call his own plays and draft a guy this year. I bet if Reid let Smith call the plays they probably win yesterday.

Gotta give the ball to Shady down there. At least once no?

Yes Bryce Paup!

Maybe Vlad can spray his jersey with some concentrated weed extract? Then we don't have to worry about Marcel getting off the block.

Dick Jauron would bring a ton of energy to the show. Seriously though I really like Chris Canty on the radio. I think he'd be a nice change up. I could see Rex too.

I was losing 6-0 in the fourth and came back. Threw a fade to KB over Bouye for the TD, but missed the XP. Then played a disguised coverage and Bortles threw a pick to Leon Johnson. Shady did the rest. 13-6. I really struggled stopping the run and throwing the ball, but did just enough.

I think it was mostly small school bias and a smallish frame with small hands. He looked tiny at teh Senior Bowl and East-West game. His numbers were ridiculous, but he was kind of under the radar. That 2014 draft was strange with Bortles going early, Manziel going, Bridgewater and Carr going late. Good thing we got Cyrus Kouandjio in that second round though. On acquiring Jimmy G, I think the only scenario where this is possible is if they give him the non exclusive franchise tag, and we made him an offer that they would not match. Then you are giving up the two first round picks, which I would totally do. I just don't see why the 49ers would let him get away. It would have to be a huge overpay for a team to pry him away. If you are SF would you prefer Jimmy G. or Kirk Cousins and 2 first round picks?

This report does make some sense. Both of these guys, like Rosen, are only 20 years old. ButI think Darnold is crazy if he goes back. He is pretty much guaranteed to be a top 5 pick. Jackson I buy. Going back would actually probably help his cause more than hurt it. This would probably make guys like Drew Lock and Jarrett Stidham declare now.

Yes definitely! I know it sounds corny, but I am really excited about this "process." We saw a lot of changes, but I think we are going to see a lot more in year two. I think we will see an almost full makeover of the offensive and defensive lines and the line backing crew. I think the rebuilt secondary was really the biggest change and had the most impact, but I feel like Beane and McDermott are just getting started. I am curious to see what McDermott and Beane can do with a full off-season, some cap space, and a lot of draft picks. I guess my point is that this team has not turned over completely. McDermott and Beane have begun building this roster the way they want it to be as they have made the changes they could in a short time. The job is only half way complete, and we still made the playoffs.

I thínk our secondary, that gave Brady issues last week will confuse Bortles and he will make major mistakes. That said, I worry about us moving the ball and stopping the run. I think turnover differential plays a huge role in what happens in this game.

Agreed. Dalton is a slightly better Tyrod. He is two years older and 1 inch taller. He also takes many more risks and therefore throws more picks. Their style of play is actually pretty similar. Tyrod is obviously faster, but Dalton can run a bit too.

It basically means that 2018 would be the first year they can get out of the contract under reasonable terms. Most of the guaranteed money has been paid out, so if they cut him this year there is just a 2.4 million cap hit. If they've had cut him in 2017 they would have taken on a 18 million dollar dead cap hit.

He's under contract until 2021, but he has a 16 million dollar cap number next year. The Bengals could cut him and save about 14 million in cap, with just 2 million in dead money. It certainly seems possible, but unlikely in my opinion. They'd have to want to move on to AJ McCarron, but his status as a RFA or UDA is up in the air.

Denard Robinson? Played for Kelly Skipper in Jacksonville, could help as a back, reciever, special teams, and the return game.

I think we go DE and QB. It's way too early to tell who might be there, but I'm guessing something like Sam Hubbard and Josh Allen. I think we could go OL/DL or CB with one pick. I think the other pick is reserved for a QB. I think a trade up with the Giants is possible, but it is going to take a lot. I honestly think we sign a guy like guard Andrew Norwell and I think we will be in on Star Lotulelei. I think we draft a DE.

I really like Falk for the reasons you mentioned. He sees the field and goes through progressions. I think he is a guy who has the potential to become a "Tom Brady." I'm not saying he will be the GOAT, but he is an undervalued guy who lacks arm strength and athleticism. I think he can build arm strength. He has been amazing at times and truly AWFUL at other times. My biggest thing is that his accuracy is really hard to ignore. The bottom line is that I think he is a system quarterback. I think he'd be a great fit in any West Coast offense. He could be the next Tom Brady, or the next Kellen Moore.

This mock has Saquon Barkley going #18. That is all.

Dennison, Crossman, and Castillo should be replaced. Mike McCoy makes sense as he was rumored to be McDermott's guy. He also has a history making his offense fit the personnell he has.
