Agreed. Taylor Moton has been the only consistently reliable high quality player we've had in the Tepper era that has stuck around.

I imagine starting Cade Mays has everything to do with him already being under contract next season and Christensen not. If they feel like the performance level is similar, they probably want to see if Mays can play well enough down the stretch to win the starting job going into next season. Plus, yeah, Brady Christensen is an excellent depth player given he can play literally every position on the OL at a solid level. Personally, I'd like to see us extend him regardless just for that alone. He might legitimately be the most versatile OL in the league.

No.

He's actually done better in Dallas than I was expecting.

I will never understand how that organization gave him $40M/year after a "breakout" season that saw him throw a grand total of 15 TD passes. I'm not even sure Tepper would sign off on something that stupid.

McDermott would have been fired after 18 games and Tepper would have hired Urban Meyer.

XL will be fine. Even if he does have the drops every now and then I'll take that over someone who catches everything but doesn't know how to get open.

I wouldn't hate it.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of paying RBs but this isn't a bad deal. I'm not sure how this fits with Brooks coming in. Maybe Dan Morgan is trying to replicate the old 'Double Trouble' days?

I also think he probably knows who is starting (probably Bryce) but wants to keep our opponents guessing.

How did we get more for Mingo than Johnson? lmao

I do think the instability at center has affected the guards. Going from Corbett/Christensen to Cade Mays is a pretty significant downgrade. And even if it wasn't there's always an adjustment when a new center is put in.

fug the #1 pick. We've already seen having it doesn't guarantee anything. I'm not going to get angry about a fuging WIN. Plus, we're still likely picking top-3 regardless.

In all honesty, I'd be happy with either Sanders or Ward at QB anywhere in the top-5. I think they're both legit franchise QB prospects. After that, it's kind of a poo show, though.

I feel like Cam Ward is kind of the anti-Bryce Young. Not highly recruited, has the traditional physical traits/arm strength, but isn't as "NFL ready" on paper. But we've seen how what's on paper doesn't always translate to the field.
