Yeah, I'd expect Beane to try to move up to the top of Round 2, even if he has to give up 2021 picks to do so. The window is open NOW. Got to climb through it...

IDK. I took it that he was unhappy with Cousins' casper milktoast dink and dunk game being too conservative. Now that he's got the ultimate gunslinger with a big arm for his QB, he has a lot more chances to make the big splash plays that he excels at...

And the national media would be all over "the Pats just get it" angle. With little mention of Diggs potential "diva disruption" influence on team culture or giving up too much draft capital...

Damn It! Now how can we all go dancing in the streets if we have to self-isolate! Stupid coronavirus...

Fixed...

Nah. Not even in the top 10...

Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the 2nd and Claypool in the 3rd...

He wanted more deep balls from Cousins. The Vikes offense was going more to short/intermediate passing and he supposedly was frustrated...

Come on man, keep up. The extra picks we got for Teller and Bodine are what's being referred to...

They're going to need to find a young edge rusher in round 2 or 3. The DEs on this roster are all 30+ years old and Darryl Johnson is still unproven...

More guaranteed $$$ up front for a lower cap hit in years 3 and 4 (when we'll have to think about paying Josh), no doubt...

5th or 6th...

Diggs was throwing a social media fit becuase he wanted the Vikes to throw more... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2856365-stefon-diggs-misses-vikings-practice-for-non-injury-related-reasons

What did we give up??

Yep. He had a "mental" issue to deal with in 2018 that supposedly caused him to have a down year...

https://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/2020/1/27/21073469/saints-2019-year-in-review-a-j-klein The 28-Yr old Klein was one of the Saints most underrated defensive players in 2019. He had a career high 2.5 sacks and 7 quarterback pressures to go along with 67 tackles, six of those for loss. Klein was also credited with two passes defensed, forced a fumble, had a fumble recovery, and intercepted a pass which he returned for an important score in a road victory over the Panthers. Klein is not strong in man coverage because of limited athleticism, but was still a valuable tool in the Saints pass defense. He is both smart in his coverage drops and has proven to be a skillful blitzer. Klein's biggest strength is his read-and-react ability as a run defender. He consistently knifed between opposing blockers to make a play on running backs at the line of scrimmage or in the backfield, helping fuel the Saints 4th ranked run defense. A.J. Klein is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but New Orleans is expected to make a strong push to re-sign him. He has been a vital part of a Saints defense that has become one of the better units in the NFL over the last three seasons.

Probably asking him about what BOB is smoking...

Last year, the speen. This year, the liver. Just like Mel Gibson in Braveheart...

We're waiting for Carolina to cut some guys as cap casualties....

Boom! That's the perfect spot to snag Lamb or Riggs...

Come on. You'll perk right back up when we sign Mario Addison, Daryl Williams and Carolina's long snapper to give Reid Ferguson some competition...
