Nothing will ever diminish this moment

Maybe ole Danny boy has given Ron the keys to the car unlike he has down with past regimes? Either way I would be COMPLETELY shocked if they didn't select Chase Young.

Dude this was October of 2017

JJ Watt has had TWO 20+ sack seasons and is an absolute game changer. He's had 4 season with 16 sacks or more. He's a 3 time DPOY, a 5 time First Team All-Pro selection, and he's put up his 96.5 sacks mainly rushing from the interior of the DL in just 112 total games. Kerrigan has less production in almost 30 more games played and Matthews less in over 40 more games played. Your comparison holds no weight my friend.

True, Brown does have speed. What we need is a guy with speed who still runs precise routes. Brown had a heck of a year last year, but there were a few All-22's that showed his route running costing us at times. One that especially stands out was the Baltimore game on the final play. I also agree with you that we need to grab one of these big WR's in this draft who can be Josh's 50/50 guy at all times. Josh sees him 1-on-1 and feels comfortable hanging the ball up there to him because he knows the WR can go up and get it.

Kerrigan has been solid, but he's never really been anything special imo. Definitely over exaggerating with the "one of the most dominant DE/OLBs in history" talk. I can't see him getting in the HOF. Same with Matthews being a solid, but not spectacular player, and I don't see him getting in the HOF either.

I know the idea had been floated out there that players would only be allowed to play in 16 games still, but people in this thread have said it is not part of the agreement anymore. But yes, they are proposing a roster increase by 2 players in total and 2 active on game days I believe.

I'd take Ogletree in a NY minute. I really liked him when he was at Georgia and he's had success in this league. Still only 28 years old as well.

Agreed, I'm sure they will be looking for someone more like Riley Reiff whom he had in Minnesota.

He's strong, but is he Jonathan Ogden at that playing weight or is he Langston Walker? Even Ogden played around 345-350lbs at 6'9".

So, what you are really saying is

Yes sir, everyone stands to profit from this in numerous ways. From the uptick in base salary, to the extra players kept on rosters, to the larger PS where years in the league don't exclude you, the NFL getting extra money, the owners getting extra money, the TV networks who will get additional advertising revenue, it's a laundry list of prospective cash flow for all involved.

Make no mistake about it, it's definitely about the $$$.

Is the stipulation still in there about players only being able to physically play in 16 games, that at some point during the season they have to sit one out?

To me this sounds like they are going to let Spain walk more than likely. Hopefully Conklin is their target. My money is on Ford playing LG next season.

Bowden could be the same exact type of player available on day 2.

This. But in all honesty I don't expect us to go after the BIG names in FA. I think much of our cap will be for taking care of guys in house and signing some so called 2nd Tier FA's. I expect the draft to be where they look to add their impact players by relying on their scouting dept. in hopes of having these guys for 4 or 5 years at a more cost effective clip. Just my thoughts.

Can you imagine the number of heads that would explode on here if we drafted a Division II Safety with the #22 pick?

What?!?! Daboll calling some weird **s plays that end up backfiring? Never would he do something like that.

I still think the Vikings have flexibility to free up $$$ outside of Diggs that makes more sense. The fact they have been quite uninhibited handing out those contracts though is finally catching up with them. They have more than a couple of bad ones, but Diggs isn't one of them tbh. Just cutting Linval Joseph and Xavier Rhodes could free up something like $18,000,000 for them I believe.
