Captain Morgan

starting right now let me see if i can find a link

yep. Outside corner? sure. but not a nickle that high

just saw this Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry, born Ga’Quincy, has had a busy spring full of pre-draft visits. Since earlier reported visits with the Jaguars, Buccaneers, Lions, and Packers, we’ve seen reported visits with four more teams. Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com tells us that McKinstry visited the Titans on Tuesday, and Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report informs us of visits with the Eagles, Giants, and Falcons, as well. McKinstry and his teammate, Terrion Arnold, have been extremely popular with the several teams who view cornerback as a position of need in 2024. McKinstry’s recovery from surgery on a foot fracture continues to heal nicely as he stays on track to return in time for his rookie season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. https://www.profootballrumors.com/ looks like a lot of teams are comfortable with him

was he at the Senior Bowl? after that and the combine, I did searches for winners and losers from the combine, and he was listed on at least one site as being a "loser/ faller"

Kool Aid was a faller at the combine

thanks op, despite that probably being the least read article in the NFL, I'm glad somebody noticed what we've done. Getting Dionte at WR was big, and we dumped a corner I never believed in to get him. We won that one big.

I imagine Corbett will do well enough if healthy. Having a rookie to step in if he gets injured again is a big deal, and this is Corbett's last year anyway. It would be good to our center next year under contract and with some experience and a year in our weight program. They say Barton has the same leadership skills that Ryan had, plus he has played inside and out. His knowledge of the line makes him the ideal leader of that position in the future. If he's available. I want a CB in the 2nd because we need one so bad, but this draft is to help Bryce now and in the future....WR and C make the most sense, and we're sure we'll have a receiver available. Also, we don't have a 2nd next year, and I'd rather not take a Center in the first. We could easily be drafting first next year with no other pick till the 3rd, and we will take the BPA there, edge, corner or true #1 wr probably. We don't want to walk into next years draft needing a starting C in the draft. And we just spent big on 2 guards, and we're already paying Moton. This is the time to get a center with one of our 2nds.

I really hope we do. Never really though JPJ would fall to us, but you never know. I'll take Barton at 33. I've been running some mocks where he's been taken i the first, so maybe he's moving up the charts. If a beast edge falls, we may have to take him, but it's not a priority to me. We aren't trying to get to the Super Bowl this year, we're trying to build, and center makes the most sense for the future. helps protect our new QB for the next 10 years. and gives him a chance to develop comfortably with our new receivers. It's never sexy to draft a center, especially with so many skill positions needed, but it's the right thing to do if we feel he is the guy.

fantastic info. I know we've spent a lot of time X L, so in my mocks I've been taking him in the 2nd. Sounds like we can get him in the 3rd. That really frees up a lot of stuff. 33 is going to be a really good player, probably someone who is not a receiver who would go in the first but got bumped by teams taking receivers (and rightfully so) in the first.

he wins the contested passes. I'm all for him.

reason to believe that one of the last two will be there at 33. I'm good with X or LMC there. There may be an edge that looks really good, but we have so many holes to fill, take the help for Young and at our second pick, BPA will surely fit one of our holes. Imho, after WR, we need corner, edge, lb, center, te, and dl. We will get excellent value at the second pick. Take the wr at 33.

works out to 24 mill per year, I'm good with that. bulk wil be pushed to the last 2 years

Baker got a good deal. I'm happy. I think. Here are the details from some of the recently agreed-upon contracts around the NFC: Baker Mayfield, QB (Buccaneers). Three years, $100MM. Of the $50MM in Mayfield guarantees, $40MM is fully guaranteed. The other $10MM will shift from an injury guarantee to a full guarantee on Day 5 of the 2025 league year. Mayfield can also earn $5MM per year via incentives, Fox Sports’ Greg Auman notes. Half of those are stat-based incentives. If Mayfield finishes in the top 10 in the NFL (or top five in the NFC) in passer rating, TD passes, yards, yards per attempt or completion percentage in any of the three years, he would earn $500K per category, Auman adds. The other $2.5MM per year comes through playoff incentives. Mayfield would earn $500K for a Bucs wild-card win, $750K for a divisional-round conquest and $500K for an NFC championship game win. If the Bucs are to win a Super Bowl with Mayfield at the helm, he would collect another $750K. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/04/nfc-contract-details-buccaneers-mayfield-eagles-sweat-parker-rams-garoppolo-saints

Terrace is heading into year 4 and will have his 5th different head coach. He was dealt a bad hand. Hopefully our new offensive minded coach and a better OL will give TMJ a better shot to succeed.

his running mate was considered the higher prospect until he broke out at the Senior bowl. moved up the charts, should be able to get him inhte fifth

Vegas has released betting odds for team wins. They see the Falcons taking the division, 10.5 wins is the betting line. Bucs at 8.5, Saints at 7.5 and Panthers at 4.5, tied for worst the Patriots. Hey, we'll probably have a top 3 pick next year. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/chiefs-ravens-49ers-favored-to-have-nfls-best-records-with-win-totals-set-at-11-5

just checked him out. Damn....good post. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Trey-Benson-RB-Oregon

Corbett is in his last year. We could sign him again but I'd much rather spend one of our seconds or our third on a Center to learn this year and take over.

hate to start a rookie on OL. Best thing is to let Corbet handle it this year, his final year on contract. Use one of our first 3 picks on c and let him learn a year and strengthen up. We're getting lucky on that position. One of Van Pran-Granger out of Georgia, Barton out of Duke or Frazier out of WVA would get the job done.

and it starts with interesting news from NO. Their once vaunted OL is now in shambles. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/03/saints-t-ryan-ramczyk-in-danger-of-missing-2024-season Saints T Ryan Ramczyk In Danger Of Missing 2024 Season Offensive line is already a priority for the Saints, a team which has question marks on the blindside given Trevor Penning‘s struggles early in his career. Longtime starter Andrus Peat is unsigned, as are Cameron Erving and Max Garcia. Having Ramczyk unavailable for some or all of the upcoming season would add further to the urgency on New Orleans’ part to make multiple additions up front in the second wave of free agency and the draft. The former first-rounder agreed to restructure his deal and lowered his cap hit to $12.86MM in the process. He is owed $6.5MM guaranteed for 2024 regardless of his health status, but a release or retirement could come into play next offseason without progress in his rehab. Ramczyk is under contract through 2026, and Underhill’s colleague Mike Triplett notes the team would incur $23MM in dead money in either development.

if he lasts that long. Power back, good hands too. would love to see him on 3rd and short behind our new OL

Moose and Smitty...those were the days
