    Agreed and I like Campbell. It would need to be a generational type LB and Campbell doesn’t seem like he’s that type. It also seems like bad team building. Draft a guy in the first, let him walk, and then draft another guy in the 1st 4 years later? Most LBs are a product of the d line in front of them.


    I think this depends on the player and the position. If it is a position that doesn’t have a steep learning curve and a rookie can easily be plugged in, then letting the vet walk is a good plan. If you are replacing a player that is cost prohibitive to sign, you draft his replacement. Due to cap reasons, we just can’t re-sign every player we draft. Players on rookie contracts are very attractive, especially for expensive positions. I don’t think many people on here would’ve been happy giving Edmunds the contract he received from the Bears. That would not be good team planning.

    Weird use of resources considering the holes elsewhere on the team.


    Did you not watch the 2022 NFL season? Here’s a recap: Hyde suffered a career-threatening cervical injury, Poyer who started strong but was injured a bunch and was a non-factor late in the season, and a guy who died on the field after making a hit. We need safety depth. It was going to come via FA or early in the draft, but it was bound to come.

    I’m hoping we draft a special teams player round 1

    Don’t forget, a process guy.

    I really would not strongly consider another very undersized DT.  Teams keep chasing the next John Randle and Aaron Donald, but there aren’t many of those.  If a 6’1” 280lb DT isn’t a great pass rusher in the NFL, he usually becomes a liability.

    John McCargo.

    Pass, his contract is almost up. Wont get any value from a trade and then have to work on a deal while he hasnt proven much.


    He hasn’t proven much because he hasn’t had any decent QB throwing to him. Still he put up decent numbers. I think there’s a lot of value to unlock here.
