Probably unrealistic, but I would try to pry Alec Pierce away from the Colts. He’s what we need, in the last year of his contract and expendable with Adonai Mitchell sitting around. I don’t think it’s likely, especially now that the draft has concluded. But maybe something like that, some guy on a roster who is expendable.

Agreed. I think your best bet to replace Hollins is Tyrell Shavers. He’s big, he blocks, he can be a really good gunner and he is already here. DJ Turner, a FA is a very good gunner, not sure he is really more interesting than Shavers. It will also be interesting to see who gets released from some of these teams who drafted WR this weekend.

its not great…I would sign Elijah Moore. If you want speed it’s: Elijah Moore Nelson Agholor DJ Chark Kadaroious Toney Anthony Schwartz If you want old guys: Amari Cooper Keenan Allen Allen Robinson Robert Woods OBJ If you want a malcontent who can’t catch: Diontae Johnson If you want a small fast guy who can return: Brandon Powell Deonte Harty

Yeah unless he is absolutely awful, he’s a lock imo.

Yeah I hear that. I think they just punted rather than invest in guys they didn’t love. Not saying it’s right or wrong, but that’s how it feels to me. I’m sure they liked some guys, Beane essentially told us he did not like them as much as the guys he took. Whether he was being genuine or not is another story.

And just to add, and sorry to turn your well thought out post into a WR thread… I think it’s likely they wanted Isaiah Bond, he was probably their guy and it all blew up for them. He’s a perfect fit for the roster in terms of what they need. They seem to like to target specific guys in the draft and they probably were not thrilled with the other WRs they met with. JMO

I could see that. Their evaluations have been pretty inconsistent. I think their view is that they spent a ton on Samuel, Shakir, and Palmer and have a high second round draft pick in Coleman, and while he isn’t on the team, a third on Cooper. In their minds, they are going to try to make it work and in their minds they have spent enough resources on the position. They have essential one spot available at the position and that guy has to play special teams ala Hollins, that’s why I think Shavers has the upper hand. I suppose they did admit they want to add some deep speed, and have yet to do that, unless they feel they did so with Palmer. Sometimes they like to be the smartest guys in the room, and I do think they think they have spent enough on the position.

I just assume that they love Hancock. They knew they would miss out on whomever they did when they took him and they did it anyway. Hawes is not really exciting, but seems like the last TE and they valued that over some of the receivers. At the end of the day it seems like they just didn’t value the WRs in this draft the same way some of us do here.

The hokey cokey was Michael Irvin’s favorite game.

Codrington unable to return kicks and Shenault unable to return punts is a problem for roster building if they serve no other purpose at a position. They need one guy to do both. I could see them keeping Shenault with the new kickoff rules and even though he isn’t a great receiver, he is a better receiver than Codrington is a corner. I wouldn’t sleep on Daquan Hardy pushing for a role. He is a way better corner than Codrington.

Thats because he has Tommy Cutlets agent. That dude knows how to market people. How you doin

Lewis is the kind of guy no one else will sign, so when you cut him, he could wind up staying on the practice squad.

Respect, but Eddie O is jacked up

Akharaiyi and Latu are the only guys with NfL.com draft profiles, so I am assuming they are the only legit guys. edit: and Jacob Bayer

This guy is not real punter competition, just rookie camp fodder. Leads me to believe it’s Camarda’s job to lose, which I am ok with.

I’m with you. OL are people too

C’mon seriously? They drafted Dan Smith, BYU?

I liked Rosen a lot, also liked Allen, so I wasn’t like a wrong Josh guy, but I loved the pick. I liked Darnold too. Was ok with any of the 3. But I was ready for them to pick either Josh and liked either for different reasons. I did not want Baker. Was a Baker hater. Didn’t like Jackson either and absolutely hated Mason Rudolph. And yes, none of us really know anything! That’s 100% truth.

Beane said they see him as a tackle, but Kromer wants guys to be flexible so they will see how he looks at guard as well.

Maybe we can catch him on a UFL game in a couple of years. I was more upset they drafted Paul Jr.

Agreed this is probably my favorite draft he has had, aside from Allen ofcourse.

I think Palmer is the Cooper replacement. They are paying him like a significant guy. Shavers is the Collins replacement at the moment imo.

Playing nose in this defense has nothing to do with leverage. They are a gap attacking, penetrating scheme. They pick the guys they think fit their scheme. What we think their scheme should be is and what they should be looking for in a nose is irrelevant.

Legend!

Just watching highlights, but he’s a deep threat, I love the way catches the football and plucks it, and he seems to do a really good job adjusting to the football. We may have something here.
