Crosby is already expensive and about to be 30. I'd prefer the younger cheaper option. Thibs didn't get a ton of sacks this year but his pressures were up (might make him a little cheaper). I really think he is one of the reasons Burns got so many sacks. The new contract coming up is another reason he could be traded for less like Burns was for us, but that may fall more into next year.

Green was a streaky QB at Arkansas, then again he was working with an Arkansas roster. If a coach could really let him sit and develop he has a lot of tools to like.

Mafe at Edge, Cade Otton at TE should be some mid tier guys that would be nice upgrades. I'd rather trade for Thibs that Crosby. Younger and probably cheaper to acquire.

Looks like he also intentionally drove into a police officer and ran from the police. Throw in this all happening in his first offseason who knows what the punishment will be?

Not the biggest fan of Nix. I think he was the weak spot of their roster. His YPA was 6.4 to Bryce’s 6.3 so he had just more attempts and an extra game for the extra yardage. % is practically identical through 2 more TDs. Their ratings are identical with Bryce having a worse QBR. Now add in Nix having the more complete roster and much better play caller (despite how much I hate him). They seem pretty similar to me honestly. Keeping all the assets would best part of this scenario but I’d still feel uneasy about our QB situation.

Hitting on a core player in the draft plus our roster actually getting healthy is a huge combo. Looks like we actually have a little depth as well.

Yeah we definitely need some stability and talent on this roster. This recent draft class is showing promise and hopefully we can build on that. I still kind of wish Canales would hire a play caller at this stage in his career.

The price to move up to get a QB in Bryce's draft was cheaper than normal because it was a weak class. Remember the Vikings wanted to trade up with NE for Drake Maye and they declined their offer. So you are still assuming two pretty big things. 1 the team positioned to draft Maye would be willing to move on from the pick (they weren't). 2 is that we would be so sold on him that we would give up a haul to move up.

People overlook this all the time. If we don't make the dumb trade to pick 1 we probably aren't picking the top 5 next year to draft Maye/WIlliams. Getting rid of DJ Moore, throwing in a rookie QB, losing the draft capital etc all helped lead to that top pick the Bears got. The trade is part of the crash/failure.

Ty Simpson isn't tall or a gunslinger. His arm is average, Bama claims he is 6'2" but also claimed Bryce was 6'0". There are concerns about his frame at the next level as well.

Frank won a Super Bowl as an OC. He seems to be an average HC (base on Colts not our poo show), but OC might be where he is best. Who knows?

White plays better defense. I get the feeling Sexton was a little bit of a liability in that area. We also got our 2 2nds back by taking Tyus Jones.

I’m reading OKC gave us a 2nd to take on their player we flipped. So we turned Sexton into White for 2 2nds. White also has a positive offensive rating vs Sexton’s negative.

He would actually be a nice vet to have for a playoff push...
