Capco Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Just now, HappyDays said: That is the surprise of the draft for me, he has not moved up once. I'm guessing the cap issues have forced them to be more willing to let day three rookies fill out the bottom of the roster. Not a bad thing IMO. Getting younger and cheaper at the bottom of the roster allows for more talent at the top of the roster. Beane doesn't make these trades and acquire extra draft capital for future years if he thinks his job security is in question, since that's just helping the next GM. That's the benefit of not worrying about your future I suppose. You don't have to make risky moves to win now, and can make smart moves to win later.

I'll be shocked if they win more than 7 or 8 games And think 45 is more likely. Williams has high bust potential written all over him, and Eberflus should have been canned before all these new players came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 2 minutes ago, MasterStrategist said: To me, we have 3-6 roster spot potentials left. . High chance: WR CB Edge Low-Mid chance: S LB RB (very low imo, after Davis) If we can land Rice & Kamara we'll be finished. The rest will be PS fodder.

OldTimer1960 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Yea. It does feel like they are seeing the re-load of this roster as very much a two year job. I'm not saying they are giving up on this season, but I think the lack of urgency is because they think realistically they can't do much more to make 2024 better. I agree, I’ve been suggesting that was the case the past few weeks. That’s why I was against trading 2025 picks to move up this year. The roster is another off-season away from being very good again (of course, just my $0.02 worth). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I just realized the pick we gave the Bears was their pick to begin with. They effectively traded us a 2025 4th rounder for Ryan Bates. 1 5 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL Network is the better coverage for all 3 days NFLN has been my go to for awhile. For some reason, not a fan of them this year. Been watching ESPN. I will say I do miss the animosity between Kiper and McShay. Got a kick out of how Kiper would treat him like the bastage stepchild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything they have done this offseason suggests they have taken a year off of the going all in on winning a championship to do a 2 year re-load. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rice is the try-hard kid of a legend, but isn’t anywhere near as talented or skilled as his Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
