  1. Thomas is. His dead money is considerable but he's very cuttable after this year. This is his make or break year. If we draft a TE I think it likely signifies that Tremble is likely out
  2. I actually like the mid-rounds WR talent in this draft. I think it's a decent class that lacks elite talent at the top end. But this might be the best TE class I can recall on paper. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be pounding the table for a TE at #39 and we're gonna draft some WR that was expected to go in the 4th. Just feels like it's coming.
  3. The strength of this draft class is edge rushers and TEs. We have a huge need at TE. But we overpaid a mid-level FA. I hope it doesn't impact our draft plans but I don't know. We have a massive void at WR on paper right now. This feels like Gettleman's spamming picks at CBs draft coming up.
  4. We should but based on how FA is going I won't be surprised if we pass on some really nice opportunities with TEs to reach on a WR out of borderline desperation.
  5. God, Ewers looked completely awful in the couple of Texas games I saw this year.
  6. I think he can. That dude was a BEAST at Colorado. He had nothing at QB and the dude made circus catch after circus catch on traffic because the ball location sucked.
  7. I honestly hope so. Our lack of urgency at WR hints that we either think a lot more of our current WRs then one would think or we think a lot more of this WT draft class than most draftniks do. Maybe both.
  8. It's a good thing. As much as I'd love to know who we're targeting there's no competitive advantage to letting it be known.
  9. They're probably all going to predict all four of the top QBs to us along the way. That way they can point back to where they were right at some point after it's all said and done.
  10. I'm almost starting to think that Richardson is our target and that's why we'd consider trading down a spot or two. We'd still be thrilled with Stroud and Young but we're really tempted to take a shot on Richardson's immense talent... but we're scared of being kicked like SF was with Mac Jones. Signing an Andy Dalton means you're not forced to play him right away.
  11. MJ has been a disaster of an owner and he's going to sell to whoever offers the most $$$. If he didn't care about the Hornets' product on the court as the owner he's sure as hell not gonna start caring during the sell process. Tremendous player. The GOAT. Atrocious owner.
  12. #39 without hesitation. #39 and Chinn... I mean, I'd consider it. I'd probably ask for something to come back my way for that but I'd consider it. I've seen the effects of drafting a stud QB at #1 overall then failing to surround him with an adequate supporting cast. I don't care to repeat it.
  13. We'll see. His potential landing spots are drying up fast. I think we're seeing that the consensus around the league is that the wear and tear is catching up with him and his best play is already behind him. It might be on Lamar to prove them wrong at this point.
  14. Tepper hasn't redeemed anything yet. We have to nail this upcoming pick. If we don't it's gonna be the same old same old, except we'll be down a bunch of draft capital and a #1 WR.
  15. There's no "laying low" in the QB market. Lamar has just badly outkicked his coverage here and he's going to be very fortunate if the Ravens don't hold his feet over the fire now. They can probably fairly offer him considerably less than their last best offer now if they want to. Lamar might legitimately be looking at his best option being playing the year out under the tag and proving he can stay healthy. He'd have an extra hundred million plus in the bank right now if he hadn't been trying to save 3%.
  16. Of course they aren't. Their coach doesn't involve the TE in the passing game. It's how we got Greg Olsen from Mike Martz's Bears. Not saying Gesicki is Greg Olsen but I'd expect a sizeable jump in his production in NE.
  17. Always buyer beware on the well ran franchises letting aging players walk. They tend to have a pretty good feel for when a guy is not gonna be worth his price tag, unlike teams like the Panthers who have historically backed up the Brinks truck for guys they should be letting walk. We've always had a bad habit of paying guys for the players that they were, not the players that they're likely to be moving forward.
  18. Those were fun teams. Hell, it was a fun era of basketball, period. Hopefully the game will evolve back toward that era and away from the current era of jacking threes and drive and flail.
  19. He has cost himself untold millions trying to save 3%.
  20. The majority of Clemson's 3rd string was better than our starters and our OC's playbook had 21 plays in it. If Maye had any sense he'd be suiting up for UGA next year as the favorite to win the Heisman and national championship. Instead he's staying at UNC out of love and commitment. I think he's crazy but I love him for it and here you are shitting on him as a "UNC diehard".
  21. It's almost like people are wired differently with different motivators. Wild.
  22. Doesn't matter. Their fans will love hearing it and if it helps motivate him then who cares? We made our deal. He very well may have been blindsided by it. I'm sure he expected to be in Carolina for the foreseeable future. He'd probably had conversations with the staff about his role. Then boom, he's headed to Chicago. At the end of the day, yeah we did value moving up in the draft over him. That's obvious. So where are the lies?
  23. Whatever gets you motivated. Lots of great players take a lot of stuff personal because it drives them.
