Well, poo. That's a wrap in terms of being able to make any real noise in the post-season.

IMO, the answer is pretty clear. We should sign a solid vet and LB should still be pretty high on our draft wish list. The guys getting released likely speaks highly of the incoming class. Teams see opportunities to let big money vets walk and replace them with much cheaper, younger rookies. It should also drive down the free agent market with the influx of new talent available. There should be quality vet bargains to be had. Forget the Devin Lloyds. Let someone else pay a guy the Jags were willing to let walk. Sign the third or fourth highest valued FA and still get a quality player with a lot less cap impact.

My big issue with Mesidor in the 1st is that he's a 6th year college player who will be a 25 year old rookie. I mean, we're talking about a guy who's as old as some guys are when we're talking about second NFL contract (case in point, he's actually a couple months older than Bryce, only 6 months younger than Icky, and a year younger than XL who is going into his third season and was an ancient rookie sixth year college player himself.) . A literal man playing amongst boys. Will that translate when everyone else on the field is a grown ass man too? I get really nervous about these older prospects who blow up in their final year of college play. He's not quite XL level where XL did practically nothing before his final year but Mesidor's final year was definitely the anomaly. He went from solid college player who might get an NFL opportunity to being talked about as a 1st round prospect. That's a HUGE red flag for me.

I wonder if they'd consider bringing back Diggs?

Doesn't really mean anything. Anyone big enough and athletic enough to be a high NFL draft pick on the OL is gonna be a pretty dominant HS basketball player on sheer size and athleticism alone. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1826610/2020/05/21/how-mekhi-bectons-basketball-career-helped-prepare-him-for-the-nfl/

Makes sense for both teams IMO. Bills are in win now mode and the Bears are loaded at WR. Bears get more draft capital and the Bills get a better instant impact WR than they'd likely find in the 2nd round.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up back there. That's about the only offense he really fits.

Thats putting it kindly. He's one of the worst OL in the league and he's the reason why I have a lot of concerns about Bama's Proctor in the NFL. Similar builds and honestly Becton looked like the better mover in college and it's been Becton's lack of movement ability that has caused him to just be a gigantic turnstile in the NFL.

UVA hands down own the biggest choke job in NCAA history and you absolutely cannot talk about a team choking that knocked you out. This is peak loserville mentality. LOL

Literally a more recent natty and more overall. LOL I don't watch the NBA so I don't really care about NBA talent. OSU will put a lot more talent into the NFL than Indiana will this year but who's hanging the banner? Bragging about all the NBA talent while not winning a natty for a decade isn't the brag you think it is.

What Super Bowl? It's played in early April. We have a more recent natty than y'all do and sent K packing for a poo to win a second since y'all's last.

I can. Beating Carolina is all that matters to them and you take away Wilson AND Veesaar from this roster and we're not much better than incredibly ass.

Yep, I expect him to be Mekhi Becton 2.0. Even moving inside to OG hasn't been enough to protect him. He just can't move well enough. And Becton looked like a significantly better mover in college than Proctor did.

5-1 without Caleb Wilson and we were without both Wilson and Veesaar against NC State in their Super Bowl in the loss. I'll take it. Hell yeah I'll take it.

Nope. Can't do it until we see how he looks after his injury. It's a big one. One that routinely derails careers.
