I also don't understand drafting another one. We have two one year veterans. Why add more inexeperience to that and risk it not panning out? at least even if the veteran blows, he can mentor.

Because you are about to release Leonard Johnson and possibly Teddy Williams.  Buy drafting someone like Myrick and signing captain that gives you

Bradberr Worley CB1 CB2

Captain Myrick nickel corners

with still Zach Sanchez to help with special teams or PS.

Can never have to much talent at corner.  Plus Myrick can learn from Captain similar measurements.

I'm drafting a guy. Maybe two if the value is there later in the draft. I'm not paying a fading veteran when I can draft equal or better talent to groom for the future.

We still need to address LT, TE, RB, SS, FB, DE, and we all know that Dave will probably grab a LB or DT somewhere in there. What's your plan for them if we double dip at CB?

With the 90th pick in the 3rd round Carolina panthers select Jourdan Lewis Cornerback Michigan...

If the CB class is really as deep as a lot of people claim there is no reason we can't find a nickel type corner later in the middle of the draft.  Those types tend to go later anyway.

I know that would be a lot of draft picks in the past 2 years but I would prefer to draft a corner in the 5th that has a good chance of contributing then some other position that might not, which is usually the case later in the draft.

Also you can't ignore a position in the draft just because you spent picks in the past on that position.  Not unless you are sure about those past picks.  Same could be said about our WR position.  In some ways CB is the one position you need the most of, or the most quality among the whole group.  If your 3rd or 4th CBs are weak teams can attack you at those positions.  If your 3rd or 4th string DE is weak he just doesn't play as much.

You have the money to add a piece to your secondary to help solidify with the young 2nd year Cb's on your team.. Maybe add some vet mentorship to that room..

Who do you go with .. Understanding certain situations with each player..

A. Stephon Gilmore - Will cost money that can be used for other players...  Young entering his prime and has strong area ties..

B. Tramon Williams - Cheaper not as establish as Gilmore.. Would come in and compete with Worleys more or less..

C. Sam Sheilds - older vet with injury history but would provide more of a vet presence than the other 2. Probably cheaper as well..

D. Captain - Fan favorite true leader .. But only a nickle cb..

Who do you choose??

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
