Too many other pieces on our D aren’t good fits for a 3-4. I don’t think there’s anyway they’d switch because of 1 guy. Now, I’d take White at 9 if he was there, move Edmunds to an outside backer/edge hybrid and we’d be in business. Milano would still get plenty of time in coverage situations and LORAX could be exclusively a pass rusher.

I was really excited about Cory Carter last season. My money is on him.

Exactly right.

Yep. Not a single one of our FA signings have us leveraged in any way. Other than Morse we can get out of all of these deals after year 1. Beane’s approach of bringing in a lot of guys and letting them duke it out for jobs in camp is not something you see much of. Most teams that are flush with cap space bring in a few high dollar guys and they’re usually way overpaid. After a couple years they’re in cap hell again and they have to bottom out. I love the quantity over quality approach. Beane has hedged his bets and if half these guys pan out, we’re in great shape. Innovative approaches are often met with criticism.

I’ll admit that I’ve got PTSD from Maybin, but I feel the same way.

I agree on Nsekhe. Waddle is an upgrade over Mills too IMO. Mills was frustrating because he’d play well for stretches, but when he was bad, he was really bad. His whiffs in pass protection always seemed to be drive killers at the worst possible moments. More consistency at RT is going to do wonders for the offense.

I’d guess that the longer it takes for the details to come out, the more likely it is that it’s a team friendly deal.

I agree, he’s proven he’s not afraid to make moves. I’m expecting a trade back in the first and think he’ll use the 7ths to move up for targeted guys in the 4th and 5th rounds. I bet we end up making 8 picks.

I've been on this board since 2002 (had to create a new profile in 2007) and I've never seen a troll with more time on their hands than @TaskersGhost It's almost impressive, almost.

I hate the jets

Tell me how you feel about Quinton Spain.

He’s not necessarily a deep sleeper, but I’m really coming around on Josh Oliver. I think he’s going to be good.

You made up your mind about Allen well before the draft last year. We get it, you think he sucks. He could win 3 Super Bowls and he’d still suck because of your preconceived notions and metrics. It’s a dead horse. If your going to continue to beat it, do so in an Allen thread.

I don't like Gary and no pass catchers in the top 5 picks? I doubt it.

The fish should be a guaranteed 2 wins. I’m putting $500 on the over.

And long as they don’t get an extra challenges I like it. It may actually improve the game flow because coaches will likely be more selective on what they challenge. Save the flags for the huge, game changing PI’s.

All in all this is a great interview. My favorite part is when Beane starts cracking up about the ***** throwing against the pats*.

This makes me want him more and he’s probably right.

I love this kid and think he’s going to be special. If he’s there in the 3rd, grab him. Maybe even move back into the late 2nd for him.

Same, my dad basically gave me no choice. I, in turn, am returning the favor to my kids. It builds character, or something like that.

I don’t think that bringing in Diggs equates to giving up on Foster. He’d be a heck of a 4 and would still be fairly involved in the offense. We aren't really tied to Brown beyond this coming season. Best case scenario for Foster may actually be one more year of development.

Diggs, Brown, Beasley would be a legit WR group. Not huge, but lots of separation with those 3.

If true I like this more than Ziggy.

If he did this he needs to be done for good. I’ll reserve judgment until it’s over but I’ve got no sympathy for anyone who hurts a child.

That would have taken me half the day to type up. I really appreciate it!
