Jackie Lee

He played at 240 in 2016, not sure if 230 or 240 is the biggest deal in the world since he's only 6' tall. That's pretty stocky either way

It's a lot different than a Sean Ryan type who never played the game

Yeah literally the first thing they did when they got to the building

It's more fun checking out the Saints board. No ones really saying it out in the open but I'm pretty sure they'd rather have the 1st pick in the draft and our staff than Carr and Dennis Allen lol. They all sound scared of Stroud

Things could be worse..

Having $75M in cap space, it's good to have your QB and WR1 locked in so you can be aggressive in FA and throw money at Defense and O-line, then go BPA in the draft.

Yeah I saw the news 3 hours late so I had to scroll back and find the details. I was assuming another 1st or at least another 2nd or 3rd from this year. At very least 39 instead of 61.

No doubt, and all this dead cap from Rhule era deals will be gone. Clean slate as far as the old regime goes. Shaq is really the only bad contract left to deal with

That's a nice number but let's take another look at it after free agency. If we get anyone legit it will be backloaded to the next couple years

Yeah at least let him get healthy and see if another team gets an injury and needs a backup or something. He won't have any value until training camp

Because you want to set a tone and let the whole team and fanbase know that you got the best Qb in the draft? Whether it works out or not is another story later down the line. Franchise QB has to do a lot more than just be equal talent on the field as well. It's not like 2 really good DE's going top 2 and either one are really good and don't have to talk to the media/lead the locker room and all that stuff every week

Yeah why go all the way to #1 and then trade back one spot for an extra day two pick and then try to explain to the world that you were fine drafting either of the top 2 QB's? All they talk about is conviction, you moved to #1, say you moved up there for whichever QB you take and spend free agency getting guys that you think compliment their skill set. This move doesn't make sense if it doesn't involve already having your QB selected and building free agency around that game plan

Welcome

I don't see how they could risk trading down to 3 at this point. They have to put it out there that they are "in control of the draft" or whatever, but going back to 3 you aren't in control of anything anymore and just shuffled around a bunch of draft picks with no "conviction", their favorite word

Yeah underrated list. I'm more into getting the best TE we can and spreading the ball out. Get Bozeman signed, get Foreman or Jamaal Williams at RB and we're good

How else would you game plan against that Georgia D? Bryce's game in 2021 was called pretty similar, both guys made plays when they were given the opportunity. It really is gonna be splitting hairs between the two of them in my opinion. Bryce had to do more this past year with a weaker roster. CJ coasted against mediocre teams, but also had tougher weather games with crazy wind, all that has to go into consideration for both guys

Eric Ebron is basically begging for a camp body contract as well. Can't hurt to have him at least mentor some guys for a couple months

I don't recall Reich having anything particularly elite with the Colts besides Jonathan Taylor going crazy in 2021. Also 2105 we had Greg and a bunch of outcasts and had our best season. I think an actual TE has to be a priority, and drafting one seems like more of a gamble than WR

Let's do it. For the "He always throws to wide open WR's" crowd, these aren't easy throws

Duce was with Chark in Detroit, that would be a great fit. He was so good with Minshew in Jacksonville. 1008 yards and 8 tds. Chark and Schultz plus a day two WR and I'd be stoked. Bring in Eric Ebron on a cheap deal as well and we'd be fine

I'm more concerned with a legit TE. Reich had TY Hilton as his #1 with the Colts I think? Having an offensive coach should open things up to where you don't have to completely rely on one superstar WR, although it's nice when you get one. TY was a 3rd round pick I think, I'm sure we'll be adding at least one day 2 receiving threat

Take the best WR or TE at 39, Chark in FA. Aside from that I'm guessing our trade value for Corral just dropped even more which sucks

I'll take DJ Chark in FA. Duce definitely has a read on him from last year
