Good vid!!! Hated that song in movies back in the day. Now that I'm older, I like it.

I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season. We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including: Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards. Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also. We need a physical option. Which qualifies: Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles. Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds. (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles. If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.

Another name at Edge, Jared Ivey. Another small school high production name: David Walker That said, if we needed a defensive draft, this is the one. And as far as Safety, we could grab 2 Dlineman and still be in a position in the 3rd to pick Emanworri, Winston Jr, Latham or Mukubu. At ILB I still kinda like Barrett Carter. Small but explosive. Good write up.

It depends on how true they are to BPA. Is our philosophy BPA 100% or BPA at aposition need? I'd hope the latter but this place is going to flip out when Morgan chooses Jeanty lol.

I can't be the only one thinking Walker might be there in the 2nd. Talented player but this 8 talk is a little too rich for my blood.

Mike Tomlin, Andy Reid, and Carroll forsure. Possible: McDaniels.

Yea we like him all 32 teams should. He's ranked everywhere from 11 to 52 right now. If this is the target hopefully we can trade down with San Fran and get another 2nd or their 3rd and 4th for pick 11.

I'd be interested in is Sweat and possibly Reid. But if this was the waiver wire I'm picking up Williams and Uche. Still amazes me that we were the worst team defensively + #1 on the waiver list with a below average roster and that only netted us some ST aces and a couple corners. Maybe I'm missing something.

This. !!! I'd say puttem all back in 4-3 !!! ... And I don't ever wanna see Clowney dropping back in coverage again. Switch 4-3 and target 3 starters: DE, OLB and MLB in free agency. Add a C and WR and we could actually draft BPA on both sides. Considering Dan Morgan is our GM it's kinda wild that I think they underestimated ILB importance. Josey is cool but I always looked at him as a solid backup. Honestly our run defense fell off a cliff the second Luke retired.

True.. I keep forgetting he was drafted in the Cam class. Hell I just remembered Baker and Darnold were in the same class... + Lamar and Allen. It just might not be too late for somebody to take another chance on Rosen.

Must have offered something like a 6th. Andy was probably our starter when they turned it down. Idunno but I wonder if they asked bout Byrce? Interested in seeing our future plans with Dalton. I'd imagine Morgan wouldn't want him going to another team and turning into the 3rd version of the Darnold/Baker leave CAR and transform experiment.

Graham's motor paired with Brown would be overwhelming to block. At 7 he's gone but with a trade down I'd take Kenneth Grant. Similar outcome in time. At Edge.. Carter or Pearce Jr. Side note:If he's there in the 3rd, I'd take Mike Green .... very questionable competition but 17 sacks is still impressive.

Who was the receiver we had that used to body catch almost exclusively if he wasnt dropping the ball his first season... was it Samuel? And he ended up buying a Juggs machine in the offseason. Iirc, by the time his contract was up here he ended up being one the most clutch receivers, if not the top, on 3rd downs. XL needs work but I've seen enough of his strong catches in college to be optimistic for potential. That said, WR is definitely on the list of needs. If you can contain Adam Thielen we're almost at checkmate. On paper ..next year AT, Coker and XL will not be enough IMO. Even if the rookies are improved next season we'd still need another reliable vet and a swing at WR in the draft.

Before DJ Moore, it's slim but I'd still have to go TE .. Ian Thomas has been our starter the last half decade. But then again, we had Shockey and Olsen at one point.

Not small but extreme differences in size, arm, personality, speed, ball placement. Never really thought about it but Bryce is the exact opposite of Cam lol. Cam pre injury was damn near breaking fingers when he threw. I'm almost sold on Bryce. Im just waiting on the one game this year that he throws atleast 3 TD's for my final confirmation...+ I wanna see how he reacts after an INT this time around.

Wtf Morgan!?! ..I get the trade but a 5th??? Even if we couldn't resign him this offseason we could have possibly got a 3rd off comp picks alone. I'm taking it as Dan's intending on breaking the bank in FA which would cancel it anyway. That said, we honestly might be garbage/incompetent in every facet as an organization.

I'd bet the entire stadium thought XL was trolling with his celebration lol

Candy Rain!!

Lmaoooooo First couple pages of this thread are GOLD

I mean ironically this might be history repeating itself in some form. Last season, after week two Reich and his offense/scheme faced a similar situation. Week 3 last year, Bryce magically showed up injured and on the bench out of nowhere iirc. Hell, I think most people thought he got benched that week, "in a nice way". Enter Dalton at QB The offense now sparks and all of a sudden we have a passing game again. So much so, we broke the franchise record for attempts that game. Our defense just could hold. I'd bet the outcome of Sunday's game is going to look similar. At his "worse", Dalton throws 4 picks while throwing over 250 yards. The only way that Bryce gets back on that field this year is if injury forced him to be. The tape is really that bad. The mechanics at times, footwork, ball placement, non existing field vision, etc. Some of the plays look so crazy, it's almost as if he was purposely doing it.

If Canales is actually a believer in the "QB whisperer" theory then I'd imagine he's already eyeing the prospect of re-inventing Dalton. Let Bryce bench himself and insert Dalton after week 4.

Canales with his damage control sideline interview lol

I damn sure would have waived David Moore before ISM...smh on that one.

I'd think we'd carry more like 6 CBs w/ injury concerns surrounding our best corner. Horn, Hill, Jackson, Jamison, Smith Wade and Bootle until Dane gets back.

I can only barely see it happening... to the Bills (Joe Brady again).
