scratched

I'd take all 3 of em right now!

Every draft has a wrinkle thrown into it... I will say with confidence, at least 2 wrinkles will happen in the first 8 picks. Which could cause a domino effect. I really like our draft position; we will hold a lot of the cards come time to draft at #8

Too much noise about our pick being Jalon... It's a smokescreen. If I was a gambling man, I would bet if Jalon is available at #8 and we keep the pick, we don't pick him.

I hope your right... I'm pulling for him

I make the best case, the strongest case.... I mean its gignatic...

I like him at RT better then LT... His pass blocking is a problem and I'm not ready to pay him top 10 LT money which is what he will ask.

I have been crucified by the majority for that opinion..

As most now know, because of my topic about trading Moton, I think Tackle should be pretty high on our wish list. We have a guy at LT who most on this board still don't trust, although maybe last year was the year the lights turned on, and an aging RT who is going to want a contract that keeps him here as a starter until he retires. I just don't like the position we are in at the tackle position. JMO.

What is to gain by waiting to pick up 5th year option on His contract?

Do I really need to respond to anyone asking about cap savings? When that is the main culprit for the predicament we are in!

I see you're another football guru who uses one ranking and has that as the pinnacle of all rankings.. Pro Football Network has them top 20 overall. I'm not disputing that we had a middle of the pack OL last year. And I'm not disputing whether Moton has been good or will be good again this year. My reasons to get rid of him now are valid to me. I would argue we could bring in Membou and that ranking would be no worse then last year. And we would have a young piece for the future that can play both tackle positions. If you would like to discuss your reasons for wanting to keep Moton, then that's fine. But don't act like a child and comment "STFU". That just proves your ignorance! When we have to overpay to keep him next year, or lose him for nothing, I don't wanna hear all the crying!

When it comes to contracts and building a winning team, you better have an eye on both. Nothing wrong with thinking about the next few years. Do you invest your money only thinking about today? Or thinking about your future?

This is my last mock draft... I think it looks pretty good. Proof that its a deep draft. 8. Armand MembouOT Missouri 57. Princely UmanmielenEDGE Ole Miss 74. Jayden HigginsWR Iowa State 111. Kyle KennardEDGE South Carolina 114. Smael Mondon Jr.LB Georgia 140. J.J. PeguesDT Ole Miss 146. Que RobinsonEDGE Alabama 163. Jonah MonheimOC USC 230. Craig WoodsonS California

The fact remains we have middle of the pack at best LT, and an aging RT who will be looking one last big payday at the end of the year. So I suggest we get ahead of a bigger problem. Thats my opinion, and everyone is entitled to disagree.

I was responding to this, idiot! As much as you post, I would have thought you knew how this works. People post, you respond, kinda like what were doing... 28 minutes ago, PNW_PantherMan said: What exactly are you expecting to get in return for Moton? A 4th round pick or something? He'll help the team a lot more next year than some day 3 draft pick.

If you would quit trying to be the ALPHA DOG on here and read for once... you might see I didn't suggest we could get the 4th rounder, although I do think a 4th or 5th rounder is possible. I was responding to someone else,

I am on this site everyday, and I don't post normally because if you aren't one of the 14 people who consistently post on this board, then your opinion is garbage. And that isn't towards you. I also like stirring the pot sometimes, just who I am... When next year comes, we will either have to pay a 32 year old RT more then he's worth to keep him, or let him go for basically nothing. If we could get out of his contract now, and get a 4th or 5th rounder, which I think is possible we should do it. JMO

In a draft loaded talent, we could find a starter in the 4th rd. For what its worth, on offense guys like Bond(WR), S. Williams(WR), Skattebo, guys like this will probably be available in the 4th. Or Peebles at DT, and Jack Sawyer who I think will be a really good player could be available. So a 4th round pick could bring great value. Just saying, don't act like you cant find talent in the 4th rd.

Top 10? That is laughable... we may have slid into the top 20 in some rankings. Top 10 overall? Put the pipe down.

I just love getting under everyones feathers. Also, if we aren't going to extend him, and I dont see a reason too, why would we be prolonging the inevitable. If we pick at #8, the chances of this guy being BPA is very high. Nobody can agree on who should be picked at #8, we have made that obvious from the 47000 different posts about what we do with the 8th pick. I am just here to give my opinion, which I think makes sense. We act like Moton can't be replaced. This is different than trading Moore, or McCaffrey, they were young. This guy is coming off a knee injury at 31 years of age. and I'm just suggesting we draft a guy who can come in and start at RT, and could possibly switch with Ekwonu in year 2. Or who knows, the guy can probably play LT this year and we can go ahead and make Ekwonu move to RT. Instead of picking BPA I guess we all are good just picking Walker or Mykel ot Mcmillan, or a Safety at #8? I'm not... If we can't trade back, which I think is the best option unless somehow Carter, Hunter, or Graham are available, then why would I not consider the most athletic OT in the draft instead of reaching? The people on this board are so divided on who to pick, and the minute someone comes up with a hypothetical, they spill their coffee. I LOVE IT!.

Moton is 11% of our cap... I think we can find a suitable replacement for much less.

A 6th and his cap savings.

So are we going to the playoffs this year? The answer is NO! We are in a rebuild, and right now we can get something for Moton. I guess we can just go 6-11 and do this again next year? So what do you guys suggest? Sign him to a new contract at the end of the year or let him walk after the season? Both of those options are terrible. Signing him to a new contract is crazy, and letting him walk for nothing is craZier!

What could we get in a trade of Moton? He has a little age on him, and is starting to get a little nicked up... And we can draft Membou. We get younger at a position of need and gather a few picks in the trade? We are building for the future, and this guy Membou would be a good addition up front.

We have no idea what was going on in this kids mind.. Sounds like he needed help, and wasn't getting it. Good kids can make fatal mistakes, just like bad kids can become good kids.
