    Maybe...hopefully....better than last year's group?   

     

    Both of these new additions produced many more tackles in run defense than Phillips, Settle, Ford 


    Could we still take a DT in Round 1 or 2?  Yes, but it would seem less likely now

    Considering that the two backups only signed one year deals I don't see how limits us drafting a quality DT in the early part of the draft since need to find a long term answer to replace DaQuan who likely on his last contract for the next two seasons.

    Paying these guys what they are paying them absolutely 100% better than paying Phillips to sit in the medical tent. Don’t disagree with that one bit. 
     

    but the vet min contracts do add up. There will be at least 4-5 of them on the backend of the roster eating up cap space this season. When we get the final 53 we can revisit this and you can call me an idiot all you want at that point. But for now, we will just have to see. 
     

    my argument is, and has always been if you up 4, 5, 6+ vet min deals and replace them with rookie deals, you pay half as much. Saving roughly 4-6m that could be spent elsewhere. It’s literally the difference between a guy like Harty and Hopkins if you look at last season as a reference. 

    In previous versions of CBA (not sure of recent one tbh) veterans earning the minimum salary counted at a lower cap figure to allow teams to not replace old guys with younger ones to allow veterans to play longer/get a vested pension etc.

    Yes, in some ways when the discussion of center pops up it reminds me of the MLB debate from last year. The fans had convinced themselves that Beane was bluffing and we would be taking a LB early. Then it never materialized and it turned out the team was pretty set in their mind at the spot 

     

    Same with Center this year. Trade Bates. Cut Morse. So obviously there's a hole there. But again, I really feel like this was the plan dating back to last year. Bringing in McGovern and Edwards and then getting Edwards snaps as the OL6 guy. I could see them taking a G/C type in later rounds....but I really believe they believe in the OL the way they have it presented. Of course, it also wouldn't shock me if we brought in Brian Allen from the Rams either. Just 28 and played under Kromer. Seems like if center is a question still...that may be where they look.

    I don't think Allen will be added because Clapp started for the Chargers last season at Center and has played there most of his NFL career. Now I wouldn't be shocked if we add a veteran G to compete or drafted a kid for long term depth but just don't see another veteran Center addition.

    Wow what a crazy break to catch him. From article it sounds like he hacked jumbotron, they figured it out and traced it to him.

     

    Led to warrant for the hacking where they seized his pcs and that lead to them stumbling on his child p videos. Monster could easily be out there If he wasn't seeking petty revenge for being fired

    Dude looks like a Disney villain

  5. It remains to be seen in who will be available. Ultimately I think a DL like Chop Robinson, Darius Robinson or Johnny Newton could fall to us which to make me wait in WR as think the DL depth isn't great this year. I admit though I'd also love to grab Brian Thomas or Ad Mitchell or Xavier Legette.

    Not sure what you mean by law of averages. I’ve read his weight was down intentionally so he could break the 40 record.

     

    Fair re: Diggs. I think McConkey goes in the 1st.

    I just think with his 170 lbs is going to be less than ideal. I know about Dvonta Smith but feel he's an exception not a rule. I mean Worthy hype only come since his forty time imo.

    No Thomas Jr.?

     

    I feel like Allen was at his best with Diggs, Brown, and/or Sanders as “boundary” WRs. Do you see them similarly to the 4 prospects you listed? Or closer to Gabe?

     

     


    Fair enough.


    Obviously Tyreek is one of one, but what about Worthy makes you think he might struggle at the next level?

     

    On the McConkey/Diggs comparison, how do you factor in that the latter was a 5th round pick?

    The law of averages and it seems like most elite speed guys struggle in the NFL and of course his low weight a concern. 

     

    Diggs going to Maryland didn't help his cause as let's admit it they haven't been relevant in the NCAA. Toss in his best season was his freshman year and he struggled with injuries a bit in school etc. So his stock dropped for said reasons.

    Curious whether you think Worthy and McConkey can or cannot be effective from the outside

    Wothy maybe only because he's got elite speed and that might cause teams to not want to bump and run him because of fear he'll take them to the house but we've seen guys with elite speed struggle in the NFL. Tyreek has been an exception IMO not the rule. McConkey to be is a pure slot, as he wins based on route running and short area quickness. I know people will claim this sounds like Stef, difference being Stef was a 5 star guy coming out of highschool, Ladd was a 3 star. Also Stef plays bigger than his size IMO and has elite ability to separate.  So, no I don't think either of these two will be above average outside options.

    Is there something other than size and being “boundary WRs” that sets those guys apart?

    Thomas, Mitchell and Legette have size and speed. Franklin/Coleman either thinner or slower and as result perceived less than ideal. Now I could argue Cornelius Johnson, Bub Means, De'Corian Clark fit this mold of boundary WRs but may not be as NFL ready as the first 3.

    I like both picks but mine is the opposite I like what i see from Leggett he is my draft man crush this year, his size & speed i think he is the entire package & would help Josh & with his skill set would open things up for the others in the passing game .

    I agree Legette is my guy this year, at first I was all in on Mitchell but after his 4.30 combine I figured he wouldn't last to 28, Legette should fall and have no issues going with him assuming top end DTs/DEs are taken previously.
