Da webster guy

They didn't want another team sliding in there on draft day. We still get to #2 anyway.

as a GM? awful. Poor trades and drafting. Chandler Jones trade cost them the superbowl. He was the best pass rusher in the NFL this year and they lost because Foles had all day back there, they had zero pressure. Bill was signing guys off the street to try and fill in the holes on their defense.

Dude there is zero chance we aren't moving up for a franchise qb. You get one shot every ten years to get a top guy without giving away future 1st rounders and tons of other things. Beane and McD are fired in three years max if they don't produce, and the only way to do that is-- well everybody knows what that is. Vea is a monster for sure, and the combine confirmed it. The next Ngata, would love to have him, we just won't be picking in that middle range where he'll go. Funny I saw a mock that had him dropping to us and us passing on him with both picks, he went like 24 or 25. It happened with Wilfork, he was ranked top 10 overall picks and dropped to the Pats at 21.

they're opposites Preston never missed an NFL game in 4 years, London Fletcher is the only LB I've ever heard of with a streak like that. Gaines hurt frequently but exceptional talent when healthy Preston never hurt but has significantly less range than most LB's.

Remember it's McCarron, more cap savings AND the first pick in the 3rd round which we really need. To be honest, most of the throws I've watched from McCarron has been AJ Green making him look good. But he's got some talent and he's 4 year seasoned so I'd make that trade every time. As much as I loved TT, the 3 point playoff game was a joke.

Plus he loves the Brisket on Weck, and didn't blink an eye at the combine when Sal asked him if he'd change his name to Rosenowski the Magnificent He'd fit better in Cheektowaga, also a known Rosen hangout

yes and if u hit on the qb you have him for a dozen years, most other positions you get your guy for his rookie deal and some other team overpays him in free agency 4 or 5 years later. if you get a franchise qb you dont let him go. Also a significantly longer career average for qb's than any other position. Twice the average.

yes but to next year when the huge dead money hits are gone and we're $90m under

trust me Beane is a way better GM than Belicheat. We took McCarron because he was a good value, has some experience and will add to the qb competition. What the Pats think about AJ is meaningless.

He had Bob Anderson the foot whisperer operate on it. Dude is a miracle worker, Cordy's fine. The whole thing about the trade NOT voiding makes no sense to me. If the dude can't play then Cinci is going to ask for his equivalent in draft picks, which in this case was a starting LT. How are we supposed to compensate for that? 2nd round pick?

yes looking at it now, we get to draft a guy who will be here for at least 4 years at a reasonable salary and will likely be a starter considering its 2nd round.

im not so sure it was the right thing. We finally had our first playoff game and only needed 11 points Total to win, and our elite receiver who had developed great chemistry with Tyrod was gone to LA for a guy who played half the season on defense. Maybe we get a great player with the Rams pick, and maybe we don't, but either way the fact is we missed having a game changing WR this season, and it very well may have cost us a playoff win.

which basically means we're goin with the Gun Slingin Jew. I'll take it. Wish the draft was tomorrow

yes and we could have stayed put last year, picked mahomes and retained sammy and woods. But this is our year to draft, then fill in the holes with free agents next year with our $90m cap room, make a run for the ring in 19'

everyone's opinion as to his skills are hilarious. the guy who knows him best in all the world and happens to be an excellent football mind said I want this guy on my team, he can help us win. next topic.....

Sammy was my favorite Bill, but I find it funny that everyone is saying how it's going to be tough to double him with Tyreek on the other side when the guy played across from Goodwin and Tavon Austin, who are just as competent as long ball threats. The key to managing Watkins is similar to the way Kelvin Benjamin has to be coached: outside plays along the sidelines, no over the middle stuff. Do what Martz did with Issac Bruce and Tory Holt--catch it and step out of bounds, save your body for the next play even though it means giving up some yards. These guys are not durable, they're not Robert Woods or Baldwin, they aren't built for contact. Otherwise you'll be in the training room all year and play half the games if you're lucky. Good luck covering them though.....

I believe these dudes will make it through camp: Benjamin Zay Deonte Thompson Streater (best camp of any WR last year from what I saw, I'm assuming he's back from injury) Reilly And we draft another one, plus add a few UDFA's. Also I think you'll see Dakiel Shorts back in camp this year he looked great to me, we had him on practice squad last year.

These new salaries are unreal. Five dudes from Sammy's WR class now making north of $15M per year. That used to be franchise QB money a few years ago, now they pay it to a guy that's averaged 750 yards per season in his first four years. And $30M of it is guaranteed Brady's 2005 contract was 6 years, $10M per year, $28M guaranteed. Sammy just got guaranteed more than Brady did for HALF the amount of years, even after Tom had two rings.

the guy is a loser as a human being. some media outlet saying we would overpay this locker room cancer is like the mock drafts that think we need a center. uh.... no

except in the world of many mock drafts and nfl scouts

The exact opposite of what Pegula Beane and McD are about. Send him to the Raiders or Skins

Gotta get Cousins to Denver or Jets and it really helps that. Foles too? They're closer than us to a trade back for the Giants or Colts. My guess is Beane's relationship with Gettleman gets us the leg up on those two teams and puts us in the #2 spot where we get our guy. .

I agree with what Sal said on WGR today, we need to get to #2 to get the dude we want. And it would really be nice if the Jets or Broncos got Cousins and/or Foles to take away the trade down offers that the Giants are going to get from teams that want a certain guy. We've come this far, might as well keep the pedal down and do what Philly did with Wentz: get your spot well ahead of the draft so there's no doubt you're going to get your qb

Or just sign Foles and a FA wideout then draft 5 new starters and lets win it this year

If only Buddy Nix could see this What in tarnation y'all wanna trade a pick that aint been picked yet?
