Dan Morgan selling ice to an eskimo

Insanely good contract on Walker. Don't know how or why, but damn. As weird as it is, maybe we're becoming an okay destination for FAs again.

I still think the ILB group in round 2 will be too good to pass up and we need to grab one there, but agreed on OT and DL being the biggest needs/should almost always be our biggest needs when it comes to the draft. Gettleman screwed a lot up and couldn't pick talent worth a damn, but philosophically he was always right. Hog Mollies win games.

I would do unspeakable things for this draft. I think that's 5 contributors next season, and know nothing about TJ Hall, but fine by me.

Wonder if the gun charge he's facing had something to do with it. Either way, Twitter seems to think around $10 mil for the 1 year

1 year deal is an absolute win

Clemson kid is supposedly a first round possibility now for someone. There's going to be someone at 19 we like I think, just a matter of is he the highest rated on our board, could we trade down and get him, etc.

Can't imagine Brady going anywhere else, unless a team is truly desperate. Should be a no-brainer move for both sides here.

Contract may tell the story on whether or not we have plans for him to make the team, but we're quickly losing space in the #4/5 WR spot. XL *should* be the #3. But he's just as likely to be shipped out if Dan can give up on him. Might already be out the door come draft day. Horn *should* make the team, but I don't know if the staff actually values him. I'd be pissed if they gave up on him this quick, but dunno. Moore and Tremayne just seem like locks based on the coaching staff, special teams, etc. Without throwing a draft pick or UDFA camp stud into the mix, I think XL, Horn, and Metchie are fighting for the last roster spot/jersey on game days.

Just because we signed Jaelan Phillips, does not mean we don't still need Edge help IMO. Same with Lloyd at LB. First and foremost, Left Tackle is the biggest glaring need on this team in the worst way. After that, WRs and TEs are cool and all, but I want to load up the front 7 as much as humanly possible and scare opposing QBs more than anything.

Yeah what X-Clown said. He's an athletic freak, who you just bank on never playing with a decent QB and system. Entering the age range we tend to like going after, *cheaper* than the other FAs possibly. I like Tremble more than most, but I think Chig is an upgrade to all 3 guys we currently have. In my perfect world, Tremble, Chig, and Evans are our 3 TEs, but, Tremble's cap number is blah.

Hoping for Chig as the TE signing. N'joku and Goedert are more proven and names, but give me the guy entering his prime that hasn't missed a game over the older guys with better stats but injury history.

Sign Nijman back, or a LT in general. Draft Monroe Freeling in Rd 1. Extreme best case he's the starter at LT. Worst case he's backing up LT and RT while eventually taking over one of those spots in 2027. One of the LBs in Rd 2 Draft a center in Rd 3, and/or Pat Coogan on Day 3. Superb Owl

Hopefully/finally see an OL heavy draft now. Plan has to be to pay for some of these contracts knowing our expensive OL is on the way out over the next 1-2 years. Lewis, Hunt, Moton could all conceivably be out or on the way out after 2027. Could see a Lewis extension to drop his number this year, but I wouldn't touch Hunt or Moton's contract to gain money. DB restructure, Horn probably (but, blah), cut Ashawn. The money is there, just a matter of how Brandt wants to do it.

Lloyd and a 2nd rounder who eventually earns the starting spot? Trevin Wallce as depth where he belongs? Middle of the field looking a helluva lot better. If we can somewhat get pressure with 4, ohh wee mayne.
