Sorry, but "elite" includes sack stats. Very good players can strongly affect the game without racking up numbers, but elite players, who are actually worth 20M+ have to rack up sacks in order to be worth it. Clowney at this point is a very good player whose actual worth is somewhere in the 14-16M/yr range and who will get more than that based on his draft position and reputation.

I don't get this rush to draft a RB in the 2nd. Edge and CB are much bigger concerns. We could roll out there tomorrow with a street FA, Yeldon and Singletary and be ok. If we stay put in the 2nd we're looking at Weaver from Boise State, Okwara from ND and Uche from Michigan being the top Edge performers estimated to still be on the board by most mocks. Conversely at CB we're likely looking at Dantzler from Miss St, Arnette from OSU (my fav), or Bryce Hall from VA and Troy Pride from ND being the top available guys. I see some more value at S in Chin and Dugger in rd 2 or WR in Pittman or Claypool, but who knows. I'm a big AJ Dillon guy and he should be a rd 3-4 guy at RB. I'd rather go Edge/WR/CB/S in Rd 2 than RB.

Are people able to collect unemployment if they have been essentially furloughed with job security guaranteed when the business re-opens?

2nd round should be a starter and every-down player. Singletary is our starting RB. We need a better option at CB2 and OT. I'd much rather DE/CB/OT than RB.

I don't see why this guy was worth that type of coin

Vastly overpaid

Julian Okwara Prince Tega Wanogho Damon Arnette Cole Kmet AJ Terrell

The bone on bone knee condition that he has that is the main reason his production has dropped every year and a major reason as to why he was released? Yeah, it's a major deal.

12 posts is about all it took to earn an ignore. JW is super well-respected and has actual sources in Buffalo.

Trade for Ngakoue. Sign Freeman as RB2. The biggest hole on this roster is RT and I'm hoping Ford turns into less of a mess than he was last year. You could draft a RT, but I dunno that you'd be getting a better on the field product and we just invested a 2nd rounder on Ford, so I don't see that position changing. We absolutely need to sign a better boundary corner than Norman, but I feel like they think there is enough competition at CB2 now, so I doubt that happens.

I don't understand how some fan account with less than 1000 followers and a tenuous grasp of the english language can get mentioned in 2 separate threads here as being a real source.

If JA shaves .3-.5 seconds off the time he holds the ball you'll be less worried about Ford.

True, considering he was dealing with a core muscle issue last year, but I don't know that we'd be offering him the kind of money he's expecting even if everything checked out.

I don't get this big perception that he is a worldbeater. Shaq had more sacks than he did last year. Why is the perception that this guy is worth double?

I'm a bit murky on the Waddle situation. Does going on IR and not playing in any games count as a year under contract?

I'm thrilled his market is soft. We still probably won't even wade into those shallower waters though I'd expect

Wait until the final numbers come out before you lose your minds. It's likely a 1 year prove-it deal with a team option to keep him for 2 if he plays well. Beane doesn't lock the team into terrible contracts.

I remember really wanting us to draft Butler.

Watkins trade was 2 1s. Is this 2 1s? No? Then it's not the same at all.

Not much love for Joe B though...

The Dolphins have built a decent D in 2 days

Harder for me to get into them as much with so many variables as to who will still be on the board when we pick.

Trading a 1 is a move you make when you are a single player away. Beane has already come right out and said we are not a single player away. I don't think we go WR with our 1 rder anyway, we're more likely to go DE if a good one falls.
