I say do it.  Why mess around, just package up a couple picks and get it done

@GunnerBill raised a good point.  Guys like Grant tend to go later in round 1 because of their limited impact in the passing game.  I suppose it’s conceivable that he gets within striking distance of pick 30…

I'd be surprised if he goes top 20. Dexter Lawrence at #17 is the highest I can remember a 1T going. They normally start to go late first. 

Vita Vea at 12?  A lot of DT's that could make a difference in this years draft.  I like a lot of the 1 techs but with that said our front office loves penetrating DT's I wouldn't be surprised to see them draft Walter Nolen.  Not my first choice but I could see them doing it.  At least he's a plus run defender also.

Pretty reasonable deal as long as he’s healthy.

His concussion history had to play into the fact that his deal makes him only the 13th highest paid corner. I think without that concern, he would have signed for even higher.

I hope and think they will go after a 1T......it seems like the right draft to do it and while they do like penetrators they also have 1T needs and I think they understand that.

"Evidently, jmo?"

It would be interesting to see how Josh would do throwing to Chase and Higgins.

 

Another reason Josh is at a different level is durability.

 

In 7 seasons, Josh has played in 111 of 117 regular season games... nearly 95% of all games. The only games he missed were in his rookie season.

 

In 5 seasons Burrow has played in 69 of 82 regular season games... only 84% of all games.

 

Well yes, lol, imo, that is evidently what appears to be the case 😁👍

The big factor is that he hasn't really been paid yet - his original deal had paid him less than 3M over 3 years.  He now gets some serious money a year earlier.
