ironically he has been pretty bad with the Jags, the grass is not always greener.

Actually he’s played quite well, if you actually pay attention and also consider what kind of offense he has to worth with, 90% trash.

I believe he’s also been playing injured.

Worth his contract? Maybe not. But to say we dodged a bullet by not spending on him in order to pay Matt Kalil even more money I mean...joke is ultimately on the Panthers.

Yep, some sites had us getting 99 (over Watkins) but it’s as expected. It means our 4th is 116. Not bad, 7 3rd round comps is a lot. As usual NE is good at this.

So for the pleasure of Dontarie Poe we lost a 3rd or 4th for Star and gave Atlanta a 4th and spent a lot of money as well.

Heck, we didn’t get a 6th for Dickson either because of other FAs who didn’t even play. I’m just glad we didn’t burn the 3rd for Norwell. We are going to need it. 

So many of the average fans around here look at these free agent deals in a vacuum and never understand the total cost of some of these deals.

I'm guessing everyone of them would happily trade Poe for a third now.

It takes a bit of discipline for the teams.  The less UFAs you sign the more comp picks you tend to get.  The more picks you get the less free agents you should need in theory at least.  I think it is no surprise that some of the teams that historically receive the most comp picks, Patriots and Ravens have been some of the most stable and successful over the last 10-15 years.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should never go after free agents, just be smart about it.

I think teams would be better off by staggering it.  For example if you (in simplest terms) lose 2 and gain 2 you receive no comp picks.  If you do that over 4 years you will have received none over that four years.  If you were to do 3G-1L, 1G-3L, 3G-1L, 1G-3L you would have singed the same number of free agents over that 4 years but you would also have 4 comp picks to show for it.

Also waiting for the in the summer to sign guys that are cut can be wise.  They don't count towards the comp pick formula and also they tend to be a lot cheaper at that point.  Could we have signed someone later do give the same production as Poe?

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
