  1. The pitching pipeline appears to be up and running. We also appear to be primed to waste this pitching staff with our lack of offense.
  2. Right, plus @Mike Sixel I think "need" is a bit strong on those positions. Brandel is a fine guard. Metellus/Smith/Jackson is fine at safety. DT group is solid. Top three corners are good. Could they add to those position groups? Certainly. But let's also be blunt....that 5th rounder 30 spots higher wasn't going to make or break any of those groups. Nor is next year's 6th. Whereas Mason quite clearly is a massive upgrade over Chandler at 4M. 4M ain't buying you much of an upgrade anywhere other than RB.
  3. They got Mason for Ingram and moving back 27 picks. That's a great deal. He's your "plow into the end zone" guy we've been wanting!
  4. This is how the Philadelphia Eagles built the roster they did, including on their offensive line. Ditto the Chiefs and Bills and especially the Ravens. You invest in talent - talent that might take a year or two to establish or coach up, but talent. They have him for 5 years, if they get even three good to great years out of it....that's a successful pick. And if it's successful, you give him his second contract that runs through his absolute prime years.
  5. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SmitNo02.htm This is Turner's path. Don't give up on him....he's incredibly young.
  6. Pretty good chance Cam Robinson gets them another one that roughly cancels out what they traded for him.
  7. They were on the hook to pay him almost 7M either way. Hopefully they gave him a raise and cleared any further dead money off the books.
  8. Either the Falcons are waiting for desperation to set in (smart play) or they aren't going to move him. (dumb play) Honestly not sure what the hell they are doing with Kirk.
  9. Nope, year three. I think if you draft the right receivers you don't have to think that way. Addison stepped right in as a rookie, fwiw. Hockenson's health is a major concern of mine. If this year is another banged up/mid production year....I'm ready to move on. This should be a monster year given it's a first year starting QB. (Hell, I'd advocate for trading him and taking a TE from this class. After DT and RB, TE is the third best position group IMO)
  10. Addison still has three more seasons with the 5th year option. With Hockenson back there is no need to blow high picks at WR IMO. Now.....next year if you trade Addison? Sure. I agree they aren't likely to blow the cap on two massive receiver contracts, but this isn't the year to do that.
  11. 5th round receivers aren't exactly non-factors. Wicks, Nucua, Iosivas, Shakir, Demario Douglas, Mooney, Renfroe, Slayton have all been taken 5th or later in the last five years. Like all 5th round picks, your odds are low, but that's the time to swing. Why waste a high pick on a dude who would be (at best) the 4th guy getting targets?
  12. We can do BPA but I still hope that's a DT. Use a 5th on a WR would be my pref.
  13. I would love to let Mac Jones, Lance, or Wentz learn under KOC. Personally...give me Lance.
  14. They absolutely master-classed their cap space. And managed to manipulate the comp formula too!
  15. Sounds like we landed Will Fries, Jonathan Allen, and Hargrave last night. Big money for Fries and Allen.
  16. So we retain Jones and Murphy and add Rodgers and Kelly. It's a pretty mid Day 1 in my book.
  17. Hate that the Lions got DJ Reed. Laughing hysterically that the Pack gave Banks a ton of cash.
  18. Man was that a price hike for Murphy!
  19. Surprisingly slow day 1....
  20. Options are thinning out.
  21. I see Jags with Mekari?
  22. Heh, that article and my "succinct" post are well aligned!
  23. Darnold 3/100. Tag and trade confirmed as impossible.
  24. I'll eat crow if his AAV is 40M or over, but considering what Allen just got I don't consider that likely. Anything less than 40M per year means the tag and trade was not a workable idea.
