I’m not sure. I would think Beane and McDermott understand the desire for continuity. At the same time, I don’t see them paying Poyer like a top-5 safety, because he’s not. He’s a top 15-20 safety. I believe like other here, that Hyde is the more important player. I’d also like to see what they have in Jaquan Johnson like many others here. If they opted to look in the draft I’d love to see Winfield Jr. in a Bills jersey. His dad was one of my favorite players.

I get it, but look at how John Brown performed as opposed to the contract he signed. Same for Feliciano. I believe he’s also tempering expectations. He’s not gonna go out and necessarily say “yup, we’re gonna drop $15-$20M on a guy and bring in some big money studs”. They said Shady was a big part of the team and then cut him before the season. They said they didn’t believe in the idea of a #1 WR, but looked at going after Antonio Brown. I don’t think they view it as necessary to get a guy like that. But I believe they’ll look into all options available. The thing we’ve got to remember is that you’ve also got to find free agents that want to come here as well.

The thing is, there’s so many good receivers this year, and most of them are the big athletic type, that some will fall. On TDN’s big board he’s listed as the #17 Receiver and #105 overall player. That’s a round 4 player. You might be right, at the same time I think this class is SO deep at receiver that some are bound to slip.

You’re probably right. I just wanted to make the group into a real strength. But yea, I would assume no Green is the more likely scenario. Draft one guy in rounds 1-2 and another in rounds 4-5

I think they’ll look for an upgrade and cut him. Unable to stay healthy. I don’t know if they’ll go after Hooper, but just a replacement level veteran. But I think they’ll be looking for a big leap from Knox and Sweeney. Smith will stay on as a blocker. Croom will challenge whoever else is there for the last spot.

I would love to see: AJ Green 2yrs $11M per Rnd 1: Laviska Shenault Rnd 4: Bryan Edwards You then have a WR room with: Green Brown Beasley Shenault Edwards + McKenzie, Foster, Williams, & Roberts fighting for 2? Spots

I think what they do with Ford depends First; on what happens with Spain. Second, if Spain leaves what free agents are available and decide to actually come here if they are pursued. ultimately I think they bring back Spain and keep Ford at tackle. They trust their coaches to develop the player. He only played one year of college at tackle, flipped between tackle and guard all training camp, and was in the Big12. I think they believe he has RT upside and that they can develop him.

I think they might throw an offer at Hooper, but if they can’t get him, I don’t really see any other guys being big upgrades. Ebron drops as many as Knox. Henry is hurt as much as Kroft. Not much after that. As for O-Line I believe they try to bring Spain back and then draft a guy who can play guard/tackle later on (4th-5th round).

I believe it will he edge rusher. In his press conference he really got a bit more detailed about how there’s not enough elite pass rushers for each team in the league and how important a position it is. I think they realize the defense could be do for a slight regression, and that edge is one of the few places they could make a splash that would change that defense around overnight. I also believe there’s better money to be spent on the edge position than any in free agency. Ngakoue, Clowney, Vic Beasley, Dante Fowler, hell Jason Pierre-Paul had 8.5 sacks in 10 games. Robert Quinn, Mario Addison... etc etc.

Yea I think he’s gonna paid big somewhere else. Sign Shaq & Spain.

I think I’d say a pass rusher. Ngakoue, Clowney, Vic Beasley even? I just want a guy who can be a consistent 8-10 and allow them to 1) wait until the 2nd round to draft a DE 2) cut Murphy after the draft. a 4 man oration of Vic Beasley/Hughes on one end, and Shaq/2nd round pick on the other end would be a solid rotation in my estimation.

I’m sure McDermott has people in mind. I wouldn’t mind giving Dorsey a shot if/when Daboll gets a head job, or if the offense regresses and a change is made in-season. Dorsey has been in the league for a while now and I like the idea of a former QB as our OC. He did a nice job with Newton in Carolina and has helped Josh along here as well. I see no reason why he couldn’t be an OC down the road.

Probably not. But people didn’t think Henry would turn into Henry when he got picked

His name is Najee Harris. maybe not as big but he can grind. a later round option would be AJ Dillon from Boston College.

Part 1: AJ Green Austin Hooper Breshad Perriman Hunter Henry Part 2: Laviska Shenault Tee Higgins Justin Jefferson Give me one guy from each part and I think this team will be a completely different animal next season.

I think the difference is that the Bears defense last season(2018) was Historically good. Their sack and turnover rates were ridiculous and when they went back to just “good”, they struggled. Our defense was very good, but not historically great. They didn’t rely on turnovers as much as that Bears team. Also, 2018 was when they went for broke on weapons for Trubisky. I feel like we went to par last season and will continue to build for Allen this off season as well.

Please just burn this thing down in a tremendous inferno. i want to see McDaniels & Brady leave. Belichick not know how it’d raft receivers and continually try to do so in order to put weapons around his perceived franchise QB, Jared Stidham.

Wide Receiver has to be #1. McDermott has shown He can manufacture a decent amount of pressure rotating in guys like Eddie Yarbrough and Trent Murphy. Even if they don’t get a premier talent, they’ll survive. But the league is about offense and we’ve got a #2 and #3 WR. Duke, McKenzie and Foster are all due to be upgraded. And one of those upgrades should be a guy who downgrades Brown and Beasley from 1/2 down to 2/3.

I could see Hooper happening for two reasons. 1) Knox and Sweeney are basically our top two tight ends going into next year. Smith is limited to being a 6th offensive lineman, while Kroft is usually unavailable. 2) McDermott and Beane consistently talk about Players biggest ability being availability ,yet signed Kroft, who showed he had a hard time staying on the field. While he was a feel good story for getting back the last handful of games, I believe he showed he’s unable to stay healthy. If they can bring in a guy like Hooper I could see them doing it because if gives you optimal return (70+ catches) for limited expense ($10M for a premier tight end versus $13M for a free agent receiver like Robby Anderson).

I get the idea behind keeping everyone together. Keeping continuity and gaining more and more chemistry. That being said I think at most we sign 2 of the 3 bigger UFA’s at most. The thing is, I’m not really worried about losing any of them. I’m honestly most interested in keeping Kevin Johnson on board. He provides good starting caliber depth at a key position. I believe Guard, Defensive Tackle, and Defensive End could all be replaced by the same caliber or better players for the same or less money than Spain/Phillips/Lawson will get on the open market. Whereas I doubt we’ll see a starting corner come in for much less than a guy like Kevin Johnson.

Forget the teams. I’m watching two players... Higgins Jefferson I want one of them or Shenault

The thing I like about him is his age (turns 25 in March). You can sign him to a 5yr deal and not have to deal with his 30’s. Beane states how difficult it is to find edge rushers in the NFL. To have a guy that young with that much production become a UFA is extremely enticing.

I wasn’t sure how they would address the edge position, but the way Beane talked about edge rushers yesterday I wouldn’t be surprised if they went after one in free agency. As far back as we pick in round 1 (22nd overall), it’s hard to find an elite player at that position. It’s also a position worthy of the investment (QB, Edge, CB1, LT, WR1 are the main ones imo). So his statement combined with those things makes me believe they intend to offer Shaq a fair deal, if he takes it they’ll balance that out by cutting Murphy. They’ll then try to go after an Ngakoue or Clowney to rotate, and replace Hughes who will likely be cut after the 2020 season if he has a year similar to, or worse than, this past season.

Nice way of looking at it. Could be said for AJ Green if he’s tagged as well. Maybe send them a 2021 3rd that could become a 2nd based on one or more of production/playing time/contract extension.

I just get the feeling they won’t be on the same page as Poyer in terms. Just a guess.
