Ok so day two debrief...sorry kind of long, but here is what is on my mind...note that some of these guys may have signed while I was typing this.... WR: If we still want a speed guy, a lot of those guys are still on the market, but guys who could work: WR Rondale Moore - 4.32 (young with upside...he is short but he is thick, a little meatball of muscle...his highlights are fun) WR Elijah Moore - 4:35 WR Devin Duvernay - 4.39 (released so no comp pick impact) I really think they are going to roll with Rapp and Bishop, but... Safety: Justin Reid - good player - instant starter, probably too expensive Justin Simmons - old but been a Mahomes killer Julian Blackmon - They were in on him last year Marcus Epps - Josh's teammate at Wyoming would be a solid depth add Reyshawn Jenkins (he could be a sneaky add as he has connections to some of the staff here and he got released so no comp pick. versatile) to me Jenkins makes the most sense as a third guy... DL There are a bunch of D - line guys: A logjam of older vets who can get you a few sacks: Bosa, Preston Smith, Z'darius Smith, Donte Fowler... Other mid/interesting adds: John Cominsky - one guy the cover 1 dudes were talking about, he is like Hoect in that he is a small school dude who is versatile and can play all over the DL. Kentavius Street - another versatile guy who has ties to Ryan Nielsen James Lynch - a former Baylor Dave Aranda guy who has versatility across the front Young busts with maybe some upside: Payton Turner - bust, but young and has ties to Nielsen Joe Tryon - another bust who is young and maybe interesting Josh Uche - young bust with upside K'Lavon Chaisson - young bust, maybe some upside For 1 tech: Raekwon Davis - monster of a human who I liked at draft time who has not put it together. i'd take a shot. he was released so no comp pick Greg Gaines - fire hydrant NT formerly of the Rams and Bucs Leki Fotu - formerly of the Jets, another behemoth human Corner: Asante Samuel Jr...sound like they are in on him. he is excellent in zone, smallish, but I don't hate it Jonathan Jones - Former Pat whose coach is now here. Would be a stopgap guy, but can still ball and should be cheap Eric Stokes - Young, very fast, has had issues staying healthy. By all accounts, he was going to be their pick in the 2021 draft. Jeff Okudah - overdrafted, but young and fast and still has upside Benjamin St-Juste - Big long corner who has some experience in a similar system playing for Ron Rivera Kristian Fulton- Another young with upside guy RB: Hopefully we can bring back Ty, but I am assuming Ty is gone, we need a new third down back: Travis Homer - really good on third downs, similar size and speed to Ty, he blocks. Really good on special teams Kenneth Gainwell - from the Eagles, versatile and does a lot of things well Raheem Blackshear - former Bills UDFA, he was not tendered by the Panthers, but he was pretty good in a third down role. No comp pick impact That what I got for the day!

They should have just gave that to Xavier McKinney

Didn’t realize he was a Josh McDaniels guy with the Raiders. Makes sense there is a connection there as he wants to establish culture with his offense.

Gotta add all the Ivy League guys

What does it say? I actually mentioned Jalen Hyatt as a buy low as a deep threat. Makes a ton of sense for what the offense is missing.

From what I recall, he was lauded as being a really good special teams guy coming out. Blocked a bunch of kicks and things in college. I like the upside and the price. I truly think he can provide everything Hollins did with shoes on.

McDermott coached daddy Samuel in Philly yes?

It’s a fun adventure to read this and read the post from when he signed last year. But like I said, his opportunities need to be going to Coleman and Palmer and Shakir and Samuel. We will be okay.

well they both bring the lunchpail…high motors etc

I still think he is a fit even with the Palmer add.

I feel you. I’m not holding my breath for scheme type change, but certainly one can hope.

Yeah I think he’s interesting. But this is not a chess piece type of defense. We are very traditional position roles. This is a 4-2-5 cover 2/3 with 4 down defense that is incredibly vanilla. If he just lines up at RDE it kinda seems like it takes away his value. This is the kind of guy the Ravens make a beast. But I guess we shall see. Zo Alexander was kinda the only guy who’s had success in a hybrid chess role here.

I feel like Tyrell Shavers can do everything he can do at a fraction of the cost. I think he can take over that role, especially on special teams. The reality is Hollins played too much. Good role player who was asked to do too much. If we gave him 8 million I would be concerned.

Supposed to be very good

Brown going to Panthers makes me sad

Is there like a Canadian conversion for speed?

Hey no politics dammit! I kid I kid

I tend to agree as I am happy with Dalton so far and if he stays healthy hopefully really breaks out. But Pat was a late 2nd round pick, and Dalton obviously a 1 we traded up for. Plus Pat has played with garbage QBs and Dalton is playing with the MVP. So point taken, but I do think that those differences are significant.

And to me that’s what they want. Precision route running, catches everything, blocks. Team player. He will help.

I just think he’s not their flavor of receiver. He doesn’t catch the football

I’d give that to Benford

perine is a third down guy, so if that’s what he is getting I am guessing Ty Johnson is a goner, which kinda sucks.

Somebody on the board the other day said there will be some serious sticker shock. He was 100% right. Sorry u can’t give credit specifically. But these are some crazy numbers out there. I’m ok grabbing one big fish and waiting out the rest of this.

Yeah but think of the fun there will be with a headcase like George Pickens and a diva like DK Metcalf. Especially when Rodgers throws every pass to the tight end Friermuth.

I actaully like this for the Bears. Their achilles heel has been their O-line. Dalman is a pretty good, young, smart, ascending center. They traded for Jonah Jackson and Joe Thuney. They are trying!
