Draft a center. We have too much money tied up on the OL to re-sign/sign a FA. One of them needs to be a on a rookie deal.

Bailey is a better pure EDGE rusher. Splitting hairs though, because they are ranked right next to one another; they could easily be flip-floppled. Bailey is another one I thought would fly up the rankings and he has. Remember, it was just a month ago he in range for us to pick. That's the reason I stopped mocking him, along with Styles.

Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 players heading into the Combine. Lol at the people still pining for Styles. Dude will be LONG gone before our slot as I noted he would be. Go ahead a keep drafting him at #19 if y'all want to keep ruining/making unrealistic mock drafts. https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-50-2026-nfl-draft-prospect-rankings-2-0

Kmet is better than just 'meh'. Mayer took a back seat to Bowers and is another TE that would relish a chance to start again. Sanders, Temble and Evans is a better group of TEs than we've fielded during the Ian Thomas era, but it's far from stacked. That's the problem, our TE room has sucked for so long now that being 'better than crap' is apparently good enough--which it is not.

Is/will he be available? Isn't he still under contract?

Falcons to tag Pitts. Thank goodness, that saves us from doing something dumb. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48015391/source-falcons-place-franchise-tag-te-kyle-pitts

In a likely to be cut article on NfL dot com, they had Kmet and Hockinson as TEs that could be cap casualties. I'd take either over what we have right now. Edge and TE in FA blockbuster deals, the rest chump change signings and build the remainder through the draft.

I think street FAs can discuss whenever, but the the deal can't be finalized until the new year begins. Chubb will listen to offers, I doubt he's going to go to the first team that contacts his agent.

Tepper, on the other hand... Remember, the Browns were the only team to outbid us for DeShaun Watson.

Guys, we aren't getting a Day1 Edge guy this draft. That means even if we do dip back into that well, it's another project. We already have two from last draft. We need a veteran guy with gas left in the tank. Chubb fits that billing. At this point in his career, Hill is more of a distraction than a solid contributor.

No to Hill. He's a locker room/organizational blight. Chubb, on the other hand, I think would be a good fit. Second year back from a repaired ACL is usually when they get back to form. He still was productive in his first year back to action.

I've given up on taking a Edge high this draft, if at all. We have two young guys we need to develop and adding yet another greenhorn that's not a shoo-in day 1 starter is making less sense. Edge needs to addressed in FA. With Ickey going down, LT is an immediate issue. Lomu is climbing BBs already. It wouldn't shock me at all if he overtakes Proctor for OT3 especially after the combine where I think Proctor will get exposed some.

Chambliss won his eligiblity complaint; he's headed back to Ole Miss. The '27 class just got even deeper. Talking heads on the radio are ALREADY saying teams should/will tank for a shot to get a franchise QB in the draft a little over a year from now. Right now after the #1 overall pick, Medoza to the Raiders, Ty Simpson is QB2 and it's being debated if he's even going in the first round. A lot of people have the Steelers taking him, but if they don't, he's sliding to round 2. I think the Steelers are gun shy after the Kenny Pickett selection about taking a late round 1 QB.

So I should not show him mock sites, lol?

I don't get the Saints, but yeah, we should be higher than the other six teams. Dumpster fire franchises, new coaching staffs with rebuilding teams and then you have the Panthers. About spot on.
