I personally lean more toward signing a solid veteran backup to a 1-year deal. There are always plenty of options in free agency and this draft class is really deep in the trenches, which we need to take advantage of. A.J. Dillon from the Packers would be a solid signing, IMO.

Trade down scenario with the Colts...

Depends. You determine the cap number you'd like him to carry this year, then take whatever's left and spread it out over the final 2 years of the deal. It won't be cheap, but quality starting tackles aren't cheap regardless.

1) Joe Person is an idiot. 2) We finally 'fixed' the OL last year; we don't need to be letting our most dependable player on the unit walk now. 3) A 2-3 year extension is a no-brainer. Allows us to keep him for (probably) the rest of his career and lower his cap hit this year. Also buys us time to find a long-term replacement.

I can't fathom how Mike Green isn't a 1st round graded player.

Most backups are either career backups or former starters who are winding down their career. There's nothing wrong with Dalton as our backup.

Backups aren't supposed to have potential; they're supposed to be known quantities. You want to know what you've got if your QB1 goes down, not bank on a guy reaching his potential when called on.

I agree with this. Always felt he was underrated as an NFL prospect.

Jack Bech, WR, TCU.

5. I wouldn't be surprised if we take one but we could also opt for an undrafted kicker.

Just hire him to make all our 1st round picks.

Sounds like the Bengals are going to keep Tee Higgins. Or try to anyway.

The NFL.com scouting profiles are actually quite good, but it can take a while to update them after the combine.

The more I think about it, the more a front-3 of Milton Williams, Derrick Brown and Mason Graham would be a pretty damn good foundation for a 3-4 defense. We'd still need to add some help at EDGE, but that front 3 alone would provide a good amount of pass rush. The only downside might be if we ever move back to a 4-3 we'd essentially have 3 DTs, neither of whom would be natural fits as a 4-3 EDGE.

Moton is fine for another 2-3 years. We can reduce his cap number with an extension. I wouldn't be entirely opposed to a tackle at #8, but I'm not sure Will Campbell is that guy. It'd have to be a true tackle, not a tweener tackle/guard. To be honest, my favorite tackle prospect in this class is Wyatt Milum and he's generally considered a 2nd/3rd round guy. But he's by far the most natural pass protector in this class, IMO. Still, all this OL/TE talk is moot unless we go HARD on defense in free agency to the point we can afford to pass on some really good defensive players at #8. There's just too much talent there at multiple positions and we have far too many needs on defense to pass on taking one of them.
