If all else fails you can always trade him to the Cowboys for a 5 and 6 since we jumped them for him. But I do think he comes around.

Yep. Beane needed a RT. Really good thread...if someone wants to make one for cornerback that would be cool, since right now that is going to be our first round pick.

Yeah I know people trust McDermott with DBs...I am not quite there, but I trust Kromer with OL. He is very unique in his teaching, teaches techniques that not many other guys teach and because of that he can re-program guys with things that work for them. I feel like he coaches to player's strengths rather than turning them into cookie cutter robots. So if he sees something in Green I'm down. PFF O line scores mean nothing IMO. It is good at times, I don't agree with their OL stuff.

He's so good. So much better than Sauce despite not having a stupid nickname. Stingley is the real deal.

I agree. It seemed like they were in on him last year then nothing happened. Then they drafted Bishop and Blackmon actually had a really good year. I don't agree with it, but I am not sure they bring in real competition because they want Rapp and Bishop to start. Either that or they are targeting someone in the draft.

KIncaid is soft because he is a basketball player. But plenty of players like him have made it eventually. He should go train with Antonio Gates or something. There is talent there, but he is a finesse player.

Not a. Whaley fan but he really did draft BPA. Beane has never done so. He takes his biggest need every year.

I am not sure if he goes back to Indy this time with them signing Cam Bynum

If he plays any meaningful snaps, something went very very wrong

Chidobe Awuzie Released. I would take a look.

Raekwon Davis and John Cominsky for me. I am interested in Samuel as well, but depends on cost really. Akhello Witherspoon would be a heck of a stop gap serviceable starter.

Outside a Samuel signing, which seems like it isn’t happening, or a trade for an established corner, we will need instant contributors out of the first couple of rounds for sure.

It also gives a ln opportunity to message board hero Dewayne Carter to prove his worth! Also, having fresh reinforcements come in after week 6 is probably not the worst thing ever. Again it’s not ideal, but it’s way better than the corner situation we find ourselves in.

Well now he has the money to buy back the 43s. I figured Bishop would get 8, but I guess he hasn’t earned it yet.

I like the temple tough stuff. The best players should get those single digits. Not kickers punters and Shane Buchele

New number who dis

I would work out Farley and see what’s there. He was a former top prospect who has just had terrible luck with injuries and bad things happening in his life. He’s been injured a ton, his dad was killed. Minimum deal and bring him to camp.

A mix of older vets and failed prospects. James Bradberry Jeff Okudah Kendall Fuller Steph Gilmore Rasul CJ Henderson Shaq Griffin Ron Darby Tre White Mike Davis Emmanuel Mosely Akello Witherspoon Bryce Hall Caleb Farley

Ok I’m going to walk back my angst on this after watching the presser. First, Beane basically said they have been after Hoecht for awhile, watching him as an RFA last year. So it sounded like they didn’t really care about the PED deal becuase they wanted him that bad. Essentially he knew, but didn’t care. On Larry, the idea that he told Beane as soon as he found out shows some level of honesty and character for a guy who has never been involved in anything bad before. He didn’t have to say anything and he did knowing Beane could walk away. Beane and Larry O would have had no idea this was coming. Beane said in hindsight he probably would not have made the move to have two suspended guys, but by the time they found out, free agency at the position had dried up. Sounds like they could have walked away from the deal but if they did there weren’t any alternatives. So as a resident Beane hater, I’ll admit I don’t knock him for how he handled this situation.

Certainly sounds like, from Beane’s presser and Shenault saying how Tabor is in his corner etc that he is going to be the kick returner.

Yeah I get that. But he’s gonna take a corner. My response was to the idea that he can use any of the first three picks. I’m saying if the roster stays as is, he’s taking a corner and everyone knows it.

I always love his analysis, but Darrick Forrest “not the most athletic guy” seemed like pretty lazy analysis when he’s got a RAS off nearly 10 and he gets binged for height. Otherwise really good analysis and seems really high on Palmer and Hoecht.

It certainly feels a little like the time they did not know about the Ariza stuff, or didn’t think it was a big deal

Okay yes gotcha. That does make it a bit more glaring.

He will use his first pick on the glaring hole on his roster. He has done it every year. He drafts for need.
