Virgil

Correct. If it's front loaded, I don't see why he wouldn't see all of it. If he's cheaper on the back half and his talent hasn't falled off a cliff, I think he'll work out the entire deal.

Very happy this got done. Not thrilled about him getting the 2nd most money, but with his age and durability, it's the nature of the business. Even if it's a 3 mil savings, that's a RG and big for us. Now on to Gilmore, which is a terrifying contract to think of Just need to give props to this one. Touche sir. I think he will if it's so front loaded, which is the beauty of it.

I knew Whaley and Glenn followed me on here. Awesome job and great deal!

I completely agree

I do N ot disagree

To all the critics of the film and plot points, I'm a huge Superman and comic nerd. There were so many details of this movie that were straight out of the comic that it was impressive. So, what didn't make sense or seemed like filler time, was actually a lot of details from storylines that I found incredible. Unfortunately, most don't read the comics like that and those are the ones seeing the movie and grading it as such. I thought it was overall fantastic and understand a lot of the decisions based upon translation to film. I still didn't like Jesse as Lex, but other than that, they did a pretty amazing job

I'm seeing tons of players getting cut this week and we should expect even more with the June 1st cuts. There is depth out there and possible starters at positions of need for us, but we are broke. I'm hoping that we can get Glenn under contract soon and free up some cap space to bring these guys in. We filled a lot of holes with the draft, but if we could get a vet at RG, RT, and maybe another Safety in here....that would be huge. And there are guys out there that are upgrades over what we have and at least serviceable enough until we get our guys next year in the draft. I'm banking on Glenn more than Gilmore because I'm a little scared of the money he's going to want after that Norman contract.

Who cares if he's 30? If he can give us 3-4 years, is decent and cheap, why not?

I'd say more a David Harris type.

I saw that, but it's for readers. The show is past the book now and overall different

Is there really not a GOT thread around the show? Tonight was fantastic. Whether you saw it coming or not. Just good to have a character you can really root for. I can't wait until next week

This would be big for us. He's a vet, would be cheap. And we only need him for 2 year deal till Miller gets his act together. This makes a lot of sense. Hopefully a RT will fall into our lap with a June 1st cut

You win. You 100% win for that post. 😀 Fantastic work sir And it's not about being positive or pessimistic. It's about keeping myself in check going into the season. I do the same **** every year. We signed X or we hired Z, so this year is the year to make the playoffs. Then we lose to the Raiders. Then we go from first to last in defense. Something finds a way and the crash to earth is painful. So, I'm happy with how the draft turned out. But I need to temper expectations, if only for my own sanity

EJ has no problem pulling the trigger. There just has to be a Jaguar in his sights

Dolphins 2 just for Tunsil and the Jets taking Hackenberg

I'm surprised as the lack of OT's we tried to bring in through this draft

I was very happy about Ragland. And getting him made me better with Lawson in the first. Washington is tough because he's not the NT I thought we needed, but still possibly the best past rushing DT in the draft, so it can't hurt. And yes, all I wanted was a guy to run verticals in 3 receiver sets so Sammy could do his thing

Finally, agreement!

For those blasting the point of this, read through some these threads about players drafted and thinking championship.

I wonder what number he plans on wearing

I can think of a few drafts where we've come away with at least 2 solid starters. I'd consider that the baseline. 3 solid starters would be great. 4 would be best ever. I'm going to say that I believe in our first two picks as solid starters with picks 3, 4, and 6 as wild cards. I'll let you know next year

I'm very happy with how the draft worked out. I would have liked to have seen an OT, but where our rush game was ranked last year, we will survive. Two things to consider as we wrap up this weekend. There is a general consensus that this draft was deep with talent, but not superstars. There wasn't a Khalil Mack or Andrew Luck. There are a lot of solid starters and depth, which a lot of teams need and that's great. Also, it's rare for a rookie to translate their college stats to the NFL 100%. I've always assumed them to put up about 70% of their senior stats in college and that's worked out fairly well. With that, I expect our top 3 picks to contribute and start immediately, but they only going going to solidify our team and help clean up the weakness we had. The other thing is Rex. Rex had an amazingly talented Defensive team and he squandered it. Now, hopefully he has the guys he wants that fits his scheme, but he hasn't shown a top defensive team in quite some time. No matter what, the offense is relatively the same as last year, with our hopes based upon TT and Sammy taking another leap forward, Woods being healthy, and the offensive line coming together more. Defensively, I think we saw growth at the end of last year and we've again filled in holes that Rex needed. I overall think this draft made us better and I think a lot of things broke our way. But I overall want to keep in check the expectations we are putting onto rookies and Rex. NOT BEING PESSIMISTIC. Just seeing it as history has shown us.

Speed, size, hands. We needed a Harvin replacement to run deep all day. Love it. Needed it.

5th (basically) on a guy that Whaley is straight up saying won't be a qb for us for at least another year. What's the harm? If he pans out, great. I don't think he will. I think he will end up just as good as 80% of the qbs taken every year, nowhere. Again, for a 5th, worth a shot.

Once you get to the 5th, it's all boom or bust picks. It's no longer about need. As it's been said, we had depth issue last year at RB and qb. Expect more picks like this for the 6th and 7th. If they pan out, great. If not, who cares
