So far we have signed our impact Edge guy and re-upped with two depth CBs.

Hey, skip CB too, both Evans and Rochell are re-signing, which means we have 8 corners under contract.

CMC and Mike Evans on the same team, especially if Kittle comes back 100%...wow! If they can stay out of the medical tent, that's some fire power.

It would make sense on a "retirement" deal. Plus, he's a west coast guy. If we get real young in the middle of the LB corps, the growing pains could be substantial.

Again, purely a stop-gap, mentor and locker room leader. He knows this is probably his last contract. That being said, he shouldn't be a bank buster.

Yes, this is a bad draft for a can't-miss Day 1 center. However, look how closely these guys are clustered in rounds 4 and 5. Keep an eye on the Duke kid, Parker. Apparently he looked really good at the Senior Bowl.

Remember guys, this dude was a 6th round pick and looked like it until last year. If this is the kind of money he was anticipating...good riddance.

Oof, I can't get on board with Sadiq. I like Rodriguez. Sadiq is an athlete playing TE. I want a complete TE that happens to be a pretty good athlete.

Yup, that's about how I've been mocking it of late, specifically like this If I can get it to work out without forcing it: RD1: LT RD2: CB/LB RD3:LB/CB RD4: C/WR RD5: WR/C RD5b: LB (yes double dipping) RD6: S/RB

He has played 16-17 games the past 10 years and still a top guy in tackles.

Yup, Otton re-upped with the Bucs and Likely went to the Giants. Oh well.

What do y'all think of signing Bobby Wagner to a two-year deal? We know we are drafting LBs, but they won't be ready to start this season, especially if we go LT in round one. He's still productive at his age and supposedly a great teacher and locker room guy.

Goedert was my draft crush way back in his draft class...even with the name Dallas. Yes, he was named after the Cowboys.

Not worried about Mays, we couldn't afford him on that Brinks truck of an OL. I wanted to draft a center and this all but confirms we do, even if a FA is signed.

I am watching this TE FA class. It's pretty deep. Tremble is in his last year of his deal and only has $2M in dead cap if cut. Sanders is a TE2 and so is Evans. Both of them have multiple years remaining too. Likely, Okwonko, Goedert, Njoku, Otton, Kolar and Jonnu Smith. Any of these guys are immediate upgrades.

Just signed (unofficial) an Edge rusher, 99% sure we stay away from that position in the first round now even if Faulk falls.

I'd trade them Dalton for Levis straight up.

So we can scrap a 1st round Edge guy. I had my doubts about it anyway. Looking like a LT at #19 now.

What could go wrong with two chronically injured QBs?

I steer clear of it altogether. It's even more tribal now-a-days. You can generally tell a person's, let's call it 'persuasion' by which one they use.

Being worried about Geno Smith stealing your job, lol. I thought being mentally tough was Bryce's strength? Sounds pretty weak to me.

Did you see how much dead cap they have to eat? They have to burn it down, there's really no alternative.

I'd take either of these guys over anybody in our TE room currently.

Please take note both Kyler and Tua were in the same place where Bryce is now when they got their extensions. Both were high first round QBs that had flashed some, but hadn't put it all together before being offered that second contract. The Dolphins and Cardinals will be eating a sh!t ton of dead cap just to move on from their respective 'franchise QB.' Also note, both teams were leery of the extension, but did it anyway because each team thought the QB simply needed more time to put it all together despite their reservations. In each case it backfired spectacularly.

Odd we bring in competition for the backup, instead of an open competition considering outside of the Carolina ecosystem, most people would hardly call Bryce a franchise QB. You don't bring in competition for a franchise QBs. You do bring in competition for QBs that are not tier 1 guys. We have seem this play out before in 2003 and, by golly, the competition didn't even have to wait a full game to take over.
