H2o

Now he'll be viewed as the greatest FA signing of the offseason (if it happens) and Beane was sleeping at the wheel again.

The couple of articles I read say no cause of death has been released pending an autopsy. First thing that came to me was a substance related OD. You would hope it wasn't something intentional, but you never know. There is so much laced with fentanyl these days that people really are playing Russian roulette. Seen too many people go away from here too soon due to it.

You notice how all three of them stepped out of the passenger side of the vehicle. The last one seemingly Rice who hopped across the center console to get out, and they immediately start walking away.

Sad situation. 35 years old is way too young. 😪

I do think Cooper DeJean is going be a really good to great NFL Player, but I don't think he "needs" to be our pick. If he ends up being our pick because of how the board falls, because of some insane run on WR's, then fine. But if Legette is on the board along with DeJean at the time, I hope they take Legette.

I'll take the Bucs @Virgil

LB injuries hurt us this time. Not having a healthy Bernard against KC this year was a huge factor. Then, Douglas wasn't really up to par and the CB depth was an issue. You saw that the defense couldn't stop them to save their lives for most of the game.

Not agreeing with I would love the pick, but that the Steelers draft him. Makes too much sense. I wouldn't be mad at Graham Barton, as long as we plan to make moves to jump up early in the 2nd, or even the late 1st for that matter, for a WR. If we could land Barton AND Legette somehow? Sign me up.

3-Tech depth, at least through camp to see if he can make the roster. Von is still here, sooooo.....

Josh actually looks lighter now than he did last offseason to me. Maybe he didn't split his pants because he was a fatty after all?

Day 1: Xavier Legette - Been the WR I wanted since early in this process, even before the Playoffs started. I know Steve Smith said DK, but I think more AJ Brown. Brian Thomas - I think he's more than just a burner. I actually think he's got some Devante Adams to his game. Cooper DeJean - I think the guy is an All-Pro just waiting to happen. Graham Barton - Most versatile OL'man in the draft imo. I think he's a high level starter from day 1. Day 2: T'Vondre Sweat - Truly one of my favorite players in the draft. The LB's from whatever team drafts him will LOVE this guy. Opposing OL's will HATE him. Bo Nix - Say what you will, but I think Nix goes to have a Derek Carr-esque career as a QB drafted in the 2nd. Khyree Jackson - I think the system matters and I believe he would be an excellent CB in a Zone scheme like we play. Day 3: Audric Estime - He didn't time well in the 40 (that's why I think he goes early 4th now), but he's a monster with play speed that sneaks up on you. Marist Liufau - Another ND product, this one at LB. He flies all over the field and loves to hit people. Luke McCaffrey - I just think it's in the blood lines. I think he turns into a serviceable WR ala Brandon Stokley. That's who he reminds me of.

Vet minimum, one year, lowwwww gtd $$$.

Vet minimum to kick the tires and see what he offers in camp? Maybe. I wouldn't expect us to make a move for a RB until after we see how the draft falls though.

Good for Tre. Love that guy. I wish him well and hope moving the goalie academy isn't too much trouble.

No, not at the expense of extra, high end draft capital to move up. It's bad roster management. We could potentially still get a 3-Tech in the 2nd like Braden Fiske, Kris Jenkins, Michael Hall, or Khristian Boyd with an early 4th.

So you think it's smart to parlay multiple draft picks to move up for a 3-Tech DT when we already have a one of the better STARTING 3-Tech DT's in the NFL? One that we are paying $17M a year for at the present moment. You're talking about a guy that plays a position we already have filled for 60% or more of the defensive snaps per game. But you want to trade up for a guy in the 1st Round who will likely play 40% of the time? It just isn't smart roster management.

We can grab a rotational guy in the middle rounds if need be, or in the later waves of FA. But you don't trade up for a 3-Tech DT in the 1st Round when you have one of the better 3-Tech DT's in the NFL as your starter, and under contract through the 2027 season. It's just not good business considering where this team's needs truly lie.

I understand people mentioning Watkins. That one didn't work out for us. But it's not a crutch for sitting on your hands if there is a supremely talented guy who gets pushed down due to other teams' needs, or people jumping up for QB's. Think about what you're saying: "Oh, dear God, no. We can't trade up for a guy in 2024 because a guy in 2014 didn't work out. We should learn from that." It's quite ridiculous when you think about it. You can't look at every player through your "Watkins glasses" and assume they will flop. That's your own PDSD (post draft stress disorder). Whatever Beane does, I will trust and hope for the best. But if next year's 1st would land us MHJ, Nabers, or Odunze I would be all in.

I love the TSW mock drafts and I appreciate the work you always put into them @Virgil I always look forward to them every year. I also appreciate everyone putting in the leg work.

If I trade our 1st next year it would have to be for MHJ, Nabers, or Odunze.None of them will make it to 17 or 18.

Woody Johnson looking for something in return:

I have to disagree with this one my friend. This would implode TSW. A trade up for a 3-Tech when we have Ed Oliver already?
