Agree on Bates if Morse retired. As to Saftey. As we've discussed for years now. McD and this staff are excellent at grooming or getting the best out of DB's. If this is truly the case, why would we draft safeties early or often? Both Poyer and Hyde were later round picks and look at what they've done.

We have John Brown already. Why would we add Jackson? It's not speed we are missing, it's someone to catch and hold onto the ball.

It's a new medical test procedure for stress.🤣

Some of my thoughts as to why they wait until mid to late rounds for OL and may depend on 1 guy, Morse. If Morse returns and finishes his contract, I think our starting 5 are basically already in place. Dawkins, Ike (I like Ike😉), Morse, Bates and Brown. I think Ike returns and they like him, otherwise I don't think they would have kept him this year. Doyle is already here as a SWT. I believe they will re-sign Saffold as he already stated he will do whatever it takes to stay. I also think they will re-sign one if not two of Q, Hart or GVR to have veteran depth or a FA guard(like a Risner?). So you're only looking at some depth and future starters for 24' and beyond. So I just don't see day 1 or early day two picks being used. Plus you still have OT's Anderson and Van Demark on the PS for the past year. May not be popular, but all in all, 3rd or later for OL. Also, Given our track record easing rookies in, I just don't see an early pick being used.

I'd go with Marlowe as well. Maybe Mayden can fill his role on special teams and also be used as a backup safety. 🤔

These are some of the reasons why I think both Oliver and Edmunds will accept reasonable offers to stay.

LOL. If you haven't, You should see my early mock in Gunnersbill's mock in the college section.😁

Agree with being able to bring Lawson back, however, having AJ and Basham there, I think we may need more of a pass rusher to try and pick up what we lose/lost from Von. I really like Lawson, but he would be the odd man out if we decided to get more juice, imo. I'm sure you saw my mock in your other thread. So I'll ask you here. If Mazi Smith was available with our 3rd, would you take him? Or Andre Carter in the 2nd?

Bye week?

Ok, You ready to fire this up? Lawson and Phillips are FA'S, Von is likely out until October, November? I don't think AJ and Basham are the answer opposite of Groot. So... In the 1st. Just kidding.😁. Wouldn't surprise me though if they did take a DL and/or DE on day 2.😉

I doubt RT will be. Although we seem to be quite challenged finding the right person to fill that spot. Ford, Williams and Brown. I did expect more than what we've seen from Brown this year, BUT, back surgery, new line coach and putting Bates next to him at RG, I can almost understand why my expectations were higher than the results so far.

Based upon this I'd say he'll get 46% this week.😉🤣

Maybe. But I doubt they would do that to White for at least a year. Plus wouldn't he be an expensive safety? One of my thoughts on Benford was, he's a little bigger than Tre and has been in the system for a year He could have all of this offseason to transition which may be better than bringing in a rookie. As to the other part, it was more related to the value of a pick. Wouldn't a CB be more of a premium pick than a Saftey? At this point in time, I don't disagree on the Ford pick and I think in hindsight the pick would be different.

I'm not saying early round. Don't think we need to spend an early rnd pick on either. Just questioning an early round safety as to value against a CB. PS. You can take your emoji back now.😝😄

I wonder if they move Benford to Safety and grab another cb instead?

Not sure slot is a big weakness. I don't think we really have seen what Shakir can do yet. Being a rookie this season. I think with getting some experience this year and another off season, he will show his worth going forward. Still have McKenzie uner contract next season and I think they could also offer Crowder another 1yr deal. Heck, even Beasley if push came to shove. Think there may be more options in FA for a slot if needed than an outside wr. I also think Gabe is a very good #2, but may be much better (great) as a #3 outside. I feel we really need a 1b/2 outside wr to try and shift some focus away from Diggs. Can't see spending money in FA on a top WR, so, I would say it has to come through the draft. Maybe a Jalin Hyatt or Rashee Rice based upon where we are drafting in rnd 1 and who may be available? I like what I have seen and read so far on these two. Bottom of rnd 1, top of 2? Otherwise, I would focus on the Oline, maybe trade back and pick up a couple of extra picks and move around the board later.

A Puppy!!?? WTH? OK, Josh Allen on Game Day.😉

Could be Lupus. 😉

#3 without a doubt. But ON the field...

77 and blue skies.😁

Nope. I'm with you.

My guess would be Washington would be promoted if Frazier did get a HC job. IF they were to go outside, I Wouldn't mind a Swartz return if possible though. What about someone like Gus Bradley?

33 -3 will be just fine.😉

True, but maybe there is something with 3 this year? Hamlin #3 3 seed 3 games to win (3rd times a charm against KC) Superbowl in 23' 😱😱😱😱

Give him a Trophy!🏆
