Rather have Mays re-signed (and cheaper) at this point.

He's playing 4D Chess. On Musk's payroll, just getting Twitter some clicks.

Only other thing he says is that we essentially need to draft a winner. Which, I think there might be some credence to. Draft guys who are used to winning (hello, Eagles/Georgia), instead of guys from 7-5 teams who sat out of the Pop Tarts Bowl.

Zero substance in that article, thanks, Joe. Joe Person - ultimate vibes guy.

This is an underrated part of it to me. It *seems* (hopefully) that Bryce is mentally in a better place and hopefully continues on his upward trajectory. But, if he is a mental midget. A. We're screwed. B. Bringing in competition might have a negative impact on him, as crazy as that is for a competitor. So, you keep his friend/mentor, you don't rock the boat, and you hope he starts next season on fire and moves beyond whatever demons he had once and for all. If the demons surface again, we have our answer on Bryce, and Dalton isn't going to play us out of a top pick.

Would've preferred Fields (I want him as Taysom Hill), but fine with Dalton. $6 mil guaranteed over 2 years, fine by me. Draft a guy this year or next to be the next backup/development guy.

I always get sucked in to the trade down option. But I've reached the point where unless we're getting a future 1st, what's the point? Until we can show the ability to have a draft class top to bottom that contributes, meh to extra 2nd and 3rd round picks.

Interview him, ask who he likes at the top of this draft, end the interview

I'd be mad about the pick initially, but it could make a ton of sense. Obviously I want defense, but we're still at the point roster wise where I could talk myself into almost any position making sense for us next year & beyond.

#8, Brooks, and the Top Cats. Jerry can't say no.

He just posted an article more about safeties. Mentions Holland, Tre'von Moehrig, Hamlin, and some draft prospects. Hadn't considered the Damar Hamlin connection (we hired the trainer that saved him, hosted an event with the Teppers). Lock it in, Hamlin becomes a Panther. Double dip and sign Moehrig while we're at it.

Yep. Cam is going to morph more and more into the Stephen A model now that he's on ESPN. He's honestly ESPN's wet dream. Charismatic...and a history of not thinking before he speaks at times.

Minor piece of a good list, but if we spend a 2nd round pick on a RB (again) to be a backup (again) Dan Morgan needs to go. There are 20+ RBs in this draft. You'll be able to get a good one in the 4th or 5th round. Using a 2nd round pick on a RB to get 7 or 8 snaps, over any defensive position, is a fireable offense.

I think you happily take that contract. He played well, and we have the lingering Horn concerns until the end of time. You lose Jackson, god-forbid anything happens to Horn...because then that secondary is ROUGH.

On one level, the defense can't be ignored and this would be a luxury pick in ways. On another level though, this is still a team that needs talent upgrades...everywhere. We can't be "mad" at a true BPA, position be damned, if it's the right call on a better player. I have faith in Sanders, hope Tremble is back, etc. But if we think Warren is Brock Bowers-esque and are iffy on any of the Edge guys? Give me the guy you think has a higher probability to be an All-Pro.
