Not really on Butler. 3-4 means 3 “bigger” DL instead of just 2. We can’t go 3-4 starting Short, McCoy and Poe with Love as the only backup. Butler’s not likely to get waived. Plus he’s still cheap. It’s the outside where we’ve got a legitimate logjam, which isn’t a bad thing. For the 2 end/OLB spots we’ve got Addison, Irvin, Burns, Miller, Cox and Obada. I might even be missing someone. Some say Obada is big enough for 3-4 DE, I’m not so sure.

Yep, I forgot Haynes. Definitely won’t be keep all those edge guys. I’d think we’ll keep 10 DL. 5 DT/NT/3-4 DE and 5 DE/3-4 OLB. Probably 4 ILBs in Luke, Shaq, Carter and Smith. Again, I’m probably missing someone and with 8 DBs likely there’s probably 2 more spots on D for extra LB/DB special teams guys. 

It wouldn't shock me if Butler gets cut. I think he fits better as a NT backup than a 5 technique backup like so many people were talking about earlier in the year, but sucky is a sucky and so far Butler has just been sucky.

I caught just a bit of Colin Cowherd on the way back from lunch today. He suggested that the Packers may be cutting Daniels to ease the burden of paying Aaron Rodgers $35 million a year.

He finished by saying that in a passing league where QB's are making over $30 million per season teams are going to have to be willing to cut ties with very good players in order to pay these elite QB's (which I believe are way overpayed and hurting the ability to build depth on both sides of the ball). He thinks KC let Dee Ford go this off season because they know they're going to have to give Pat Mahomes the biggest contract in NFL history next off season.

Thoughts?

He's not wrong.  For once.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
