Sounds like Beane is in at a certain price.  He won't put this franchise in a tough spot.  Just have to make it work for Arizona and D. Hop. 

This might be the one exception. I think he wants this and he knows he can't let the Chiefs get him

Let’s put this in perspective. Cap wise DHop would only be $4.8million cap hit after converting base into bonus. Ed Oliver is $10.7 million. Basically you have about $6 million cap moving out Oliver and bringing in DHop!!

 

You can probably sign 2 DTs. I think Matt Ioannadis would be a great cheaper signing. Maybe even less than the comp pick qualifier. Re-sign Jordan Phillips. Add a draft pick. You’re going to get similar production from DTs.

 

You’ll still have some left over to sign a veteran pass rusher like Justin Houston or Melvin Ingram.

if kc gets hopkins....i'm going to have to avoid this place for a week......the doom and gloom crowd will be unbearable

No doubt.  Such a tough time to stay away from the board though-  the month leading up to the draft is key.

I’d be happy with Johnson. Haven’t watched much Miller yet.  

Take a peak. Dude looks good. Moves quick for a fairly large guy. 5’11” at 215. I think he’s got it to be an every down back in the league.

I'm just gonna say this:

 

At this point, if Hopkins goes to another team for a reasonable price it's going to be a major condemnation of Beane. Say what you will about resource management, the offense needs another star caliber player, badly.

I don’t want Jordan Phillips for anything more than the minimum. Dude can OT be counted on to be healthy.  Ever

KC can probably offer a better trade package, unless we entertain moving Davis, but they only have 5M in cap.  That’s after their restructures. 
 

I know they can surely find a way to get the money, but they’ve won Super Bowls without handicapping themselves a ton in future years (as have we, minus the Super Bowls) … not sure they want to start doing that now. 
 


I’m not involving Davis in any deal for DH

I would suspect that we’d trade him because he’s the only guy that aZ would want, other than picks.  Makes sense

It’s almost like you’re suggesting that sometimes you have to give up something of value to get something of value.

Personally, I’d love to remake the DT room with some big bodies.  Trade Oliver and get some space eaters.

 

Maybe we do take a LB early, but if it’s Bernard, we’d have two undersized LB’s on a team that plays base nickel.  I want the middle of our DL just plugging holes and pushing the pocket back.  We can get pressure with Von, Rousseau and hopefully a veteran EDGE, along with blitzing Bernard (or whoever) and Milano. 
 

I don’t know that there’s a pass rushing DT available where we draft.. maybe that guy Benton our Bills podcasters like.. so just get big and strong up front.
