  1. Can you guarantee that? Between pro days, visits, possible injuries, other teams trading up, etc the projected #1 pick could have changed multiple times between now and Draft Day. This was the only way to guarantee we pick whomever we ultimately settle on
  2. Because we refused to guarantee his full contract.
  3. Sunday: We're gonna be calling Derek Carr tomorrow to talk contract. He's asking for a lot. Monday: Derek Carr is signing with the Saints. Tuesday: The Ravens have placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson. We can make a trade offer. Also Tuesday: We're not gonna pursue Lamar Jackson. Wednesday: We're restructuring Taylor Moton's contract for cap space. Also there are rumors we might be trying to trade up in the Draft. Thursday: Rumors continue to swirl that we may try and trade up, but the price will likely be high. Friday: We've traded up to #1 in the NFL Draft, with trade compensation less than might have been expected. ... It's been quite a week.
  4. Valid, but he ultimately didn't force what would have been a terrible decision. I've never been one of Tepper's biggest fans, but I wanna be fair to him at least.
  5. Tepper reportedly liked Justin Fields too. We've got a highly qualified braintrust with multiple quarterback whisperers. I expect them to use every resource at their disposal, come to their conclusions and make the pick accordingly. That's pretty much what they were gonna do anyway, but now they don't have to be worried about what anyone else does.
  6. This is a smart crazy move though
  7. Question is how you view Thompson as a 3-4 inside backer vs his old spot.
  8. Honestly just one first rounder lost and this year's first rounders swapped.
  9. That's a shift. Thompson was pretty dead set against any such ideas. Guess he sees things a changin'
  10. We're going from Matt Rhule to an actual competent staff
