If the Rams are rebuilding, how about Oliver and pick 27 for Aaron Donald? Highly doubt Donald wants to stick around for a rebuild.

For a 6th rounder and the Rams picking up half his 2023 salary, I’d do it.

Will certainly be harder finding a trade partner to trade down with. Not sure who wants to trade up to 27 when there’s supposedly only 15-16 guys with 1st round grades.

Darnell Washington is a monster. Id love him or Mayer.

Vander Esch for 3 years $30m or Edmunds for 5 years $90m?

He looks closer to Justin Jefferson in college than Shakir. Good separation, great hands, questions on deep speed. Shakir had questions on deep speed and separation.

Take the best player that isn’t a QB or CB. Stop getting cute and stop exclusively trying to fill perceived roster holes with our early picks. Every other front office in NFL knows who we’re targeting with our early picks. Go get a pro bowl level talent. McBeane did that before the roster got better, then they started using high draft picks to fill holes instead of taking the best player and letting the coaches figure out how to get the best talent on the field. Ozzie Newsome was the master of this.

I’d like to see a pre-draft trade up for a player like we did with cordy glenn. The pickings are slim at the end of the 1st and all the super bowl contenders know who each other is targeting and all end up scrambling for the same players that make it that far like McDuffie last year.

The Bengals exposed the softness of this defense in both games. Was pathetic watching an offense physically manhandle a defense like that. Milano is really our only guy that consistently brings violence on every hit. Hamlin too before his unfortunate situation. Maybe they’re coached to think too much rather than seek and hit. Maybe there’s too many vets on that side of ball who’ve been paid and wanna walk away from the game without permanent injury. And all the injuries and the Hamlin episode certainly didn’t help in terms of getting the defense to play more physical.

Let’s also not forget the wide open bomb that Waddle dropped on their opening series, which would’ve changed the complexion of the game.

Yep. And anyone who believes this was anything other than McBeane doing Frazier a favor holding onto him until all the head coaching jobs were filled… I gotta bridge to sell you. McDermott knows this year is it. Maybe he’ll give Holcomb or the young guy Babich the DC title, but McDermott will be way more hands on. Beane made that clear in his presser.

Beane seemed pretty on edge for him. Like he knows the work he’s got ahead of him. I like it.

Exactly. And you ain’t ever gonna find out if you keep doing same thing.

The organization has always treated Frazier like he’s the Buddha or something. From giving the defense every possible resource to the constant drumbeat of saying it’s a travesty he ain’t a head coach to this weird-ass way of firing/not firing him. Weird all the way around.

Frazier news probably doesn’t bode well for an Edmunds return.

Yeah. No way you tag him unless you somehow know who you’re trading him to.

I mean you could make that argument against every guy on the defense. I’d like to re-allocate some capital towards the offense too, but is Edmunds, a 24 year old physical freak who had his best season last year, the right guy to draw a line in the sand on?

I’m in the same place. People also conveniently gloss over that you’re most likely over-paying a free agent from another team and why is that team letting that guy go?

I’d like to see a legit Tight End number 2 like Hayden Hurst and a power RB like Damien Harris brought in this off-season. It won’t cost a lot of money and will upgrade the physicality of the offense making us less 1 dimensional. Then I’d go IOL and WR with my first 2 picks. On defense, I’d bring back Edmunds, move on from Poyer, and sign Clowney to a 1 year deal for Von Miller insurance.

Does it measure lateral side-to-side shuffling. That’s where Brown seems the weakest. You can have good straight line speed and not have good lateral quickness.

If Mccaffrey went for a 2nd rounder, Tennessee would be lucky to get more than a 3rd rounder, most likely less than that.

It looks like there will be a lot of veteran LB’s available. There’s talk of the Jets cutting Mosley too. None of these guys are as big and fast as Edmunds, but any drop off might be overcome by sacks, run stops, and turnovers generated by a replacement that Edmunds doesn’t currently produce.

$10m for 1 year isn’t exorbitant. I’d love to get a power back with the ability to take it to the house.

The fairest criticism is the high draft investment in RB’s who are JAG’s. Spend that 2nd rounder and two 3rd’s on O-Line or WR’s, and find serviceable RB’s later in the draft like every other team does and this offense is in way better shape. McBeane just keeps doubling down on drafting average RB’s with high picks.

Why should he take less than Watson? I’m sure Hurts and Herbert are asking for the same thing.
