We won't get one as good as Curl though. *Sobs*
Fixing Tom Telesco's mess.
Oh and drafting a receiver at #5.
Is Blackmon still out there? I'll keep my fingers and everything else crossed.
Blackmon, Mike Edwards & K’Von Wallace are still available. Probably the best younger guys left.If it’s not the case what they’re after I think the other older guys who are available of; Eddie Jackson, Jayron Kearse and Marcus Maye wouldn’t be bad choices.

Probably the best scenario in terms of RB type and money. Enjoyed watching his moments for us lasts season. Let’s hope he gets some continued usage.

Josh did not walk into a “sh-t scenario.” He was developed perfectly by Daboll. Ideally, he wouldn’t have started year 1, but by his 2nd he had serviceable skill positions along w/ a pretty good defense. Things could’ve been a million times worse. I thought the coaching staff did wonderful and obviously other teams did as well considering how quickly Daboll & Schoen were snatched up.
That was Daboll’s return to the NFL. Hardly anyone pegged him to have the success he did with Josh. Couple that with an OLine of Dawkins/Ducasse/Bodine/Miller/Mills, throwing to Kelvin Benjamin/Zay Jones/Robert Foster/Andre Holmes/Charles Clay…The only good thing on that roster was Shady and a developing LT in Dawkins… Who everyone continuously cried should be a guard…
It worked out. If you believe that’s a measure of quality to develop perfectly under then you should have absolutely no qualms or grievances with what he’s working with now.
Pat walked into:
Hunt/Williams/Kelce/Hill/Chris Conley/Demarcus Robinson/Sammy Watkins, behind an OLine of Eric Fisher/Cam Irving/Mitch Morse/Wylie/Mitch Schwartz… all the while coached by Andy Reid, who had the credentials even with just the Chiefs: Playoffs 4 of his first 5 seasons there prior to Mahomes taking over.
Compare the 2 and I’d say that absolutely is a ***** scenario to walk into. The counter point is what, that you stated, Josh had a pretty good defense? So did the Chiefs…
The coaching staff did wonderful, no doubt but the struggle to get where we were in terms of roster quality, on field product and Josh’s development make it incomparable.
Also, to add, Pat was a pretty polished QB coming out of college with accolades and records to boot… Josh was, what? A project? Even at that standard I’d go out on a limb and say Mahomie would have struggled. Daboll or not.

I'm not saying center isn't important but every line position gets paid more than center ... So the league certainly shows it's value by money
It's physically the easiest position but mentally the toughest
And lineman tend to be smart ... There is a plethora of options to groom NFL centers... Including college tackles who aren't big enough for the NFL
So the consensus is Oregon’s JPJ is an early rounder; 1st or 2nd.
Then it’s either Frazier or Van Pran. Do they last until the 4th? Probably not.
Also, it may not be the most demanding job on the Line but o would hardly call it the easiest as you pointed out it’s the mentally toughest. They make a lot of presnap calls for a QB and are a crucial component for the success of either guy on their sides. Theres a reason Centers and Tackles tend to be stalwarts and play for several years…
With that said, how many talented guys who’ve succeeded at playing Center will be there in the later rounds? Who are you thinking?
Drake Nugent? LSU’s Turner? With Harbaugh an ex-QB and knowing Linsey is in his 11th season, it wouldn’t surprise me if he takes the guy he knows extremely well in Nugent to be his replacement… especially as he’s on the penultimate year of that 5 year deal he signed.
So who do you take? -

Okay, I'm going with a small trade up for Mitchell, or Legette at #28. I am in the minority, and I know you don't agree, but I wouldn't be mad if it was McConkey.
I'll be mad if it is Robinson.
Chop or the Mizzou kid?
Id rather a WR like you and honestly wouldn’t care who it is as I’m sure they’ll have some high end talent we can utilize for Josh.
Need to do something for both positions. I am a huge fan of Groot and like AJE but I am certainly not banking on them being an absolute game changing presence week in, week out.
With that point, it is what it is if they choose a edge player… And personally, if it came down to that, would like Missouri’s Robinson.

Y’all are entitled to your opinion, but I think it’s a terrible allocation of money to prioritize a 30 year old above average CB over a 30 year old gamewrecker on the DL.
Don’t care about the pick swap. It’s sunk cost.
I understand the thinking behind your post and every opinion should be explored and considered but there is no addition by subtraction…You have needs in the secondary and DLine. Arguably more in the secondary. The point you made was scrap a guy we gave up a decent draft pick for half a season later to allocate money to another guy on a position of need. You can make both work if you truly want to… If the situation with Tre wasn’t what it is; getting cut and often majorly injured, sure there would be room for a switch in financial assignment but you’ve still just wasted a third round pick. What’s the option? Trade him for another 3rd rounder?
Doing that your secondary is, at it stands, Benford/Taron/Lewis/Rapp/Elam.
DLine would be: AJE/Oliver/DQ/Armstead/Rousseau.
You better be hoping and praying they show up every game to get pressure and disrupt things. Frankly, I can’t see that happening as much as solid coverage on the back-end giving a line of AJE/Oliver/DQ/Groot more time to get home.
The only benefit Armstead really has would be to drop the possible necessity they fee to take a DLine man with their first 2 picks…But again, what do you do in the secondary? Douglas, imo, played very well for us after the trade. Certainly as beneficial to the team than a 3rd rounder might have.

Why don’t we just move off Douglas and use that money for Armstead?It seems the drop off between DL talent and CB talent is a mile wide in this draft.
It seems so simple, but I’m sure someone will tell me why this binary choice is not.
That would be the biggest waste of a third round pick I ever did see…Half a season then get rid of him when there’s still questions surrounding that position???

No hope for Buffalo. Just a general question. I don't see any upside to them keeping him.
Either lose him when he demands a trade or pay him $30 million + and not be able to fully utilize his talent due to lack of a QB.
He'd fetch quite a haul and you have Addison and Hockenson already. Just a thought.
I honestly wouldn’t be mad throwing 2 if not 3 first rounders for him… The Von contract should be off the books by the time it’s re-up time. On top of that, might be time to move on from Diggs.
Would be ironic if we ended up getting the guy we, theoretically by draft pick, could have had instead of Diggs.

I’d love for the Bills be in the mix.

So the Vikings have to trade Jefferson now, right?
I don't see any way their current situation works out.
It’s an absolute pipe dream but do they consider at least trying? I’m sure they will inquire if it’s accurate.
More importantly, with that money KC just freed up do they trade this and next years first to sign JJ?

Wow. I like Dane as player in a pinch and really hope the best for him as he grew up literally down the road from where I live but this might unfortunately turn into the Levi Wallace scenario where his success was more so the system he was playing in…
Again, hope for the best as he had decent moments for us through the past 4 seasons. Good luck, hope I’m way wrong.

Is this a Russell Wilson type situation where the old team is still responsible for done if the salary?
Depends on the guarantees. Would have to look at his contract. -

He isn't overrated. The dude has tons of talent but can't stay healthy and I don't think it's gonna cost a ton of money for him. There is no way with his injury history he will get a multi year deal that pays him a ton or money. Perfect cheap one year prove it type of guy. I'd do it
Ok. Overrated is probably a bit harsh. He has tons of talent, I agree. Underwhelming for the 7th overall pick is probably a bit more apt.
Keenan Allen is still the guy there. If they’re cutting a WR of those two, you take him first as, like you said, it’ll probably be a pine year deal. Still don’t think you get either on a bargain price.

Ya’ll keep saying it “clearly would” when the only evidence is speculation.
There’s loads of player who played more snaps and had worse sack totals.
Especially in a guy who hasn’t proven much as a reliable pass rusher.
Again, I understand your thinking. I get it and it’s not wholly disagreeable.I see a guy who’s put up reasonable stats on nearly half the possible snaps he could have played over the course of 3 seasons. Is 23 years old. Solid against the run. Reasonable against the pass yet is still relatively raw to the game of football and the nuances that come with it.
Repetition is the only way to get better. If he sees the field 75% of the snaps these next two years I firmly believe he is capable of 10 sacks…
And to circle back to the original point and comparison, if an average player like Brian Burns is getting a deal of $150m it is reasonable to suggest a guy that is on less playing time with just as good stat lines to get a sizable contract given to him at 25 y/o.

i'd not pay that much for a safety. we have two outstanding linebackers, a decent pass rush, two viable corners, the safety position could be great for anyone young to come and want to earn a 2nd contract.

If I leave you with one word of wisdom, DON'T CHECK AROLDIS CHAMPAN'S INSTAGRAM STORY!!!
Such a tease… do share.

I was actually wondering that myself… Do they just go the UDFA route and bring as many as they can to bolster the numbers to 90 after the draft…?
Dont really see much else in terms of active FA’s. Maybe a Safety?
