Cole Strange is new name on here….1st round?

IOL guy that can play center and guard.  I think he can play OT in a pinch too.  I have yet to see a first round grade on him though.  I like the guy as a prospect, but not in the first round.

I think his 5th is already picked up and that’s what he is playing on. I believe he was in Darnold’s draft class.

They apparently did, however he's only under contract for this year.  Baker will have to play out the year on his current deal.  I don't think Fitts plays nice this time around, nor should he.

Agreed. This might be our best option. Give up little for him and split his contact with Cleveland. If he sucks it’s very easy to move on…

It would be a little rich for sure. A trade down option people may not be considering is us picking up a 2nd+ this year and a 1st next year for our current spot. Strange will fit in that early 2nd round. He is a guard/center hybrid.

@VergeThanks for the writeup. I find it interesting that Cross is in a different tier.

I think our best hope to trade out of #6 for a decent haul is to have one of the EDGE guys fall (e.g. Thibodeaux or Walker). As mentioned, no one is swapping picks with us to get a QB or LT.

If we dont want to trade back, we have to hope Sauce and Hamilton go in the top 5.

I think it will go like this:

1. Jax:  Walker DE Georgia

2. Detroit:Tibodeaux. DE Oregon

3. Houston: Ekwonu, OT NC State

4. NY Jets:  Hutchinson, DE Mich

5. NY Giants: Neal OT, Alabama

That leaves the Panthers in a weird situation.  HOWEVER--if a team trades up ahead of the Panthers for a QB, that could leave NEAL on the board.  Stay tuned.

As long as Cleveland makes his salary more palatable, it boils down to a 1-year "prove it" season.  If I were Fitts, I would frame the situation that way.  You know Baker is going to want a new deal if let out of Cleveland. However, it would be no different than if he were actually a FA.  I seriously doubt even if he were a FA Baker would have received a multi-year deal.  Heck, we have several guys we signed this offseason playing on similar one-year "prove it" deals.

I Rhule's really in the hot seat, I just don't want them to do something incredibly stupid and set this franchise back EVEN more than they already have. Neal or Ikweonu will be fine at #6. One of them will be there and that will be the pick. If they trade for Mayfield or Jimmy, fine but nothing more than a 3rd. If they can't trade for them fug it, run it back with Darnold. You made your bed, now lie in it. Also show that you are a coach and coach them up.

I look forward to watching people bitch and moan when Panthers Jimmy G looks indistinguishable from Sam Darnold.

Jimmy G is more Teddy than Sam though IMO.   But he is just as pointless as Teddy and Sam. 

seems like such a Matt Rhule move though

In the hot seat...but also in charge.

That is a flat out horrible spot for any organization to be in.

      I don't agree the offensive players were his choice, when his head coach has a total offensive background and given the situation. I view it like... FA, Morgan's job on Offensive guys was probably the nuts and bolts, the mechanics of making the trade or deal or signing happen. Seeing if we could swing it, having discussions about it with Canales, Tilis, and Tepper too no doubt.  He would have done the wheeling and dealing and turning the cards in to make those things happen. But would you ask him or would you ask Canales who is building the offense, to choose offensive players? I mean, Canales all the way for me. Defensive players, Canales probably wouldn't overrule Morgan. Now, it was apparent that he was indulging Evero on some of those acquisitions. But isn't he sort of supposed to collaborate with the coaches in charge of that side of the ball?  Wallace looked not too great yesterday but he was really thrown into a raging fire, so I am not out on him. But I was irritated and dismayed at his seeming lack of disappointment in the loss when I saw his postgame locker room minutes.  I need to see things with Young out of the picture and not influencing every fuging decision.
