Yeah, you can have your pick of NFL QBs and it's still pretty much impossible to draw a path to a playoff berth for that roster.

Yep, I'd sign it. From a pure football perspective, it sucks. From a winning at life perspective, he literally just won the lottery.

I honestly feel bad for Willis. I mean, good that he got a decent (NFL QB speaking) payday and will be set for life, but in terms of actually competing and providing he's a legit starter? The Dolphins are gonna carry $175M in dead cap this year and they have an out in Willis' contract after the 2027 season. This seems like the most obvious tank job in history with Willis signed as cover for it.

His agent was like vet min, vet min, vet min... holy poo this has to be a mistake, fug it whatever SIGN IT!!!

I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.

This is always accounted for in the draft. Positional value matters. Sime positions are more valuable than others and those positions are paid more and all else being equal drafted higher. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-draft-which-positions-most-least-valued-over-past-decade

Build the best roster we can and if Bryce continues to be a weak link continue building that roster by replacing him. Bringing Pickett was a real disappointment. Felt like we gave him $7.5M just so that we could pretend he's a quality backup. Well, he must be since we're paying him like one.

Yeah, when you're wanting to run multiple TEs and your TEs are a weakness you're basically handcuffed yourself. I think there's a good chance our passing attack would look significantly different if we had a quality receiving TE.

That and when you fug around with someone else's spouse and the spurned spouse goes nuclear and puts your poo on blast... well, you should've been doing your part of the "mind your own business" mantra.

Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

By design of the offense or because our TEs suck? That's the question. Targeting our current TEs at a high rate would just be dumb.

Our TEs were ranked 47th, 52nd, and 57th in the league in receiving yards for TEs last season.

I mean, the most important position on the roster is our biggest limitation currently.

Not seeing the scheme fit for Faulk. Too small for 3-4 DE and doesn't have the juice to stand up. He seems like a strong side 4-3 DE to me and probably not one you'd draft in the 1st.

LOL Seriously, did anyone even know this existed? Everyone knows about the NIT (Not Invited Tournament), but did anyone realize there was a third tier conference for teams that even got snubbed by the NIT?

Elite athlete who just isn't that good of a football player. But we may have found his sweet spot as a special teamer. No thinking, no having to read the offense and make adjustments, etc. Just take your big jumbo athlete ass and go cause a car crash.

Smitty just isn't ever gonna grow up. Refuses to apologize for "things in his personal life" because people need to mind their own business. Evidently minding your own business doesn't apply to Smitty because one of the first rules of minding your own business is not fuging other people's wives. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16UbAbycei/

People just gotta wake up and realize that Arch Manning hasn't done anything to be considered an NFL prospect other than having a recognizable name on the back of his jersey.

What fans don't understand when they hear "BPA" is that what it really means is the "BPA for OUR team" which factors in things like the needs of the roster, scheme fit, etc. Every GM is going to claim that the player he drafted was the BPA. It's nit like you're gonna have one step to the podium and say "Listen, I know we passed up on better talent but damn y'all, we were desperate for a *insert position here*" even though it's very obvious rhats exactly whats happening with some picks in every draft.

Exactly what I was thinking. If Bryce doesn't show me next season that we shouldn't be considering replacing him, I'd love to go into next year's draft with two 1sts in my back pocket. Not holding my breath about next year's "deep class" though. That's what everyone was saying about THIS class this tike last year.

If I moved out of the 1st I'd want a future 1st as part of the package.

The most aggressive we've ever been didn't exactly turn out well.

That's the type of stuff that leads to eight straight losing seasons

Would love to know what the expectation/plan is for Icky. I'm glad we're not counting on him to return to form. Potential switch to RT to replace Moton long-term?

Yeah, leaving Miami Ohio out would be dumb. Almost as dumb as now calling the play in games the "1st round". In a field of 64 you can't tell me there's not room for a 31-1 team. Hell, I volunteer my Heels to stay at home and give them our spot. LOL
