  1. M'eh. Could turn into a great move for depth. He's at least as good as Wallace right now. If he can stay at this level for a year it could be worth it.. They made it work for Frank Gore on a 1 year deal. Old coach. Who knows? His leadership is a plus.
  2. Conklin isn't what he used to be, but he's still adequate. I want Scherff or Thuney. Sign A Cooper and go OT in the 1st.
  3. He's a solid backup QB with elite arm strength and elite scrambling ability. If he can become much better somehow, we'll be fine. Otherwise Beane and/or McDermott will be following him out the door. I've never seen a QB with his level of accuracy turn it around in all the years of the AFL and NFL, but I hope he will be the first. We know he needs better weapons, but IMO what he needs most is a much better OL. Last year's OL was much improved, but they still need another big leap.
  4. Beane needs to start nailing his 1st round picks, period. Oliver still has a shot at being elite and Edmunds could be OK, but Allen remains a work in progress.
  5. Edmunds is a thin slice above average and Allen is still well below average, so Edmunds improved much more. I believe Oliver has the tools to make a huge leap in year 2 and will transform our run defense into top 5 territory.
  6. 1. Brandon Scherff 2. AJ Green 3. Byron Jones We get one of the top 3 Edge Rushers in the 1st, then OT, then WR or TE. RB in the 4th, then look for LB and Slot Corner. Conklin is a shadow of his former self. Anyone that gives him $15 mill/yr is a fool.
  7. They already limit rookie contracts and the average NFL career is only 3 years. I'm not sure what cap I'd set otherwise, but I think non-ticket/parking/refreshments profits (jerseys, caps, etc) should be split evenly among the players so the short term guys can share in that.
  8. Every one of the FA's from other teams that he wants us to sign sucks. Rhodes is long past his prime and is average at best. Fackrell is also just average on a good day. Everyone else on that list is awful! Levi Wallace is better than Rhodes at this point in his career. He also has us wasting a 2nd round pick on a S that will only e keeping the bench warm for Hyde and Poyer. I'm glad Joe B isn't the GM. Dear God, what a disasterous offseason that would be! At least he's taking a solid OT in the 1st. Where's the help on the pass rush too? Also, Spain may be replaceable, being about average, but he doesn't bring anyone in capable of taking over at LG. Feliciano is a below average G as well. Almost no help at WR and none at TE. Our offense would be worse, not better.
  9. On the other hand, I'd like to keep Luiget in the DT rotation over Taylor.
  10. Why in the world would we use a 1st round pick to bolster the strongest position on the roster? That makes even less sense as drafting a RB in the 1st. I'd be fine with a QB, but not our least need. We have many positions that could use upgrades. I'm pretty sure we can find a good match between need and talent. We just need Beane to start hitting on these 1st rounders.
  11. You can't count the times he dragged defenders 4 or 5 yards? Slight exaggeration. How about a guy like Matt Breida with world class speed? If you want power, maybe Carlos Hyde? I agree Singletary is a #1 RB and is very underrated by some, but a change of pace is good too. I don't know if Breida (49ers) or Hyde (Browns) have resigned or will be FA's, but either of them could help us. I don't see Beane spending big on a RB after Singletary's great rookie year and the fact that Daboll doesn't seem to really want to run so much.
  12. I think we should keep drafting a QB on day 2 or 3 every couple years until Allen proves he's a franchise QB.
  13. Kroft has always been an average TE and Lee Smith a blocking TE. All of a sudden, you're surprised and disappointed by this?
  14. Keep the pick and hope that Beane gets it right this time.
  15. That sucks. He would have helped us a lot IMO. Perhaps his workout or physical exam didn't go so well.
  16. Levi Wallace is an average NFL CB -- No more and no less.
  17. I think we're in great shape with Singletary as our #1 RB. I see no need to trade when guys like Breida and C Hyde are likely to be released. Hyde has power and Brieda has world class speed. There are probably going to be other affordable options in FA as well. Save those draft picks for OL and CB competition
  18. Olsen is still better even at age 34 and he'll be cheaper. Njoku is pretty average. I wouldn't mind signing him if he's released and Olsen signs elsewhere.
  19. You don't want a great punter because you don't like his attitude? Seriously? It's not like he's Charles Manson's evil twin or anything. Give him a week or 2 in this environment and he'll be fine.
  20. He clearly has the necessary skills. The real question is has he develpped the right instincts. He seems intelligent, so I'd wager he knows the playbook. Reading and setting up blocks, on the other hand, don't require intelligence. Things like that require fast reactions and instincts. I saw the report that said he won't make the final 53 and all these people are now repeating it even though they have no real idea where his development stands.
  21. His abilities have declined rapidly since 2017. He should retire. You don't think they'd spend money on such an important position? Why not?
  22. Right idea, wrong position, IMO. I just can't understand people wanting to reduce the #snaps for Oliver or Singletary in their sophmore seasons. Makes no sense. We need game changers and I don't care how we get them.
  23. I like it if we sign Brandon Scherff to play RT and let Cody Ford compete with Feliciano at RG. I still wouldn't mind a DE or CB at 22 because this draft is so deep at WR. I think round 3 would be fine for drafting an OLB to replace Lorenzo. I'd also like to sign an additional outside WR in FA -- Maybe not a #1, but an upgrade from Foster and Williams. Day 3, I hope lands us some guys to compete for OL/DL jobs. I suspect we will sign Greg Olsen whom I believe is still playing at a high level. We can revisit the TE position in another year or 2 depending on how long Olsen stays viable and how well/quickly Knox and Sweeney develop.
  24. I want someone that can challenge for the starting job.
  25. Good for Tyrod. He's a class act. I hope he does well.
