Love Coach DB! If he is pumped, I am pumped!!

Right. I don't disagree with what you are saying, but let's just use Bam Martin-Scott as the example. He ideally is looking for a LB needy team where he can possibly latch on to longer term. We check that box. So if we check that box AND are giving double what the next team is why wouldn't he come here? This is where we can blow the competition out of the water, say someone like Cincinnati. They have a very cheap owner, because he doesn't have a lot of spending cash, who can't "throw away" this type of money on UDFAs. Everything comes down to a risk/reward analysis. For us, the risk for these high guarantees is the lost money, which Tepper can throw around a lot more than most owners. We should consistently be getting the pick of the litter, at areas of need, for UDFAs because everyone wins. We get the players we want at camp and they get a bit of security with larger guarantees.

Now this is where some of you need to give Tepper his due. His money is why we can give these types of guarantees to USDA with, such seemingly, disregard. Only the top 51 roster spots count toward the cap for a given year, so any money thrown toward UDFAs is 100% a lure to get them here. It is absolutely a competitive advantage his billions bring this team.

And which one of ours picks hasn't signed yet...

The sooner he signs a long-term deal, the sooner it will look like a deal over time. Cap is going to explode with upcoming TV deals.

Would rather Zy Alexander out of LSU, but a 6 3 CB is ok too

Paul LB Ivey Edge Zy CB One of those 3 please

Can't wait to see who falls to us today!!

I get your point and don't disagree overall, but we still need to fill too many holes. S, LB, CB, OT

Here is my list: Safeties Malachi Moore (Alabama) Cornerbacks Dorian Strong (Virginia Tech) Zy Alexander (LSU) Edge Jared Ivey (Ole Miss) Kyle Kennard (USC) Linebackers Danny Stutsman (Oklahoma) Chris Paul {Ole Miss) Defensive Tackles JJ Pegues (Ole Miss) CJ West (Indiana) Tight Ends Gunnar Helm (Texas) Luke Lachey (Iowa)

If we triple dip an edge, I want Jared Ivey. Keep the Ole Miss boys together.

Malachi Moore is the only safety left that is attractive to me, but that should be later on for the draft. Danny Stutsman at linebacker is my next hope I guess.

Damn. Why to ATL!
