  1. Just saw where Stoolers signed Cordarelle Patterson on a 2-year deal. He's not/never was a great WR (which is the position he was drafted to be), but out of the backfield, he's done some really good things, and he's a hella KR too - which, given the new KR rules, is a great pickup for them. That said, I don't think that takes them out of the Tyler Boyd sweepstakes, and I'm thinking they'll take a WR early in the draft regardless... but he's definitely an interesting pickup. Arthur Smith had him in Atl, and as the new OC in Pitt, he's very familiar with his skill set and how he can be used. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39815804/sources-Stealers-sign-ex-falcons-rb-cordarrelle-patterson
  2. Saw on X - Mina Kimes and Greg McElroy did one... they gave AD Mitchell (former UGA, then Texas) WR to them... McElroy said he's Tee Higgins (but he runs better). Helluva player, no doubt... but to me, you've got issues at DT and OT and there are other WRs (and some Ts) to be had later... but especially at DT, if Murphy is there, that's who I'm taking.
  3. He was OK... not great. I actually thought Volson, after a bad start, picked up his game considerably in the latter half. Both guys need to play better, but yeah, Brown wasn't any great shakes. Certainly not to the level where he was hyped to be. He was about average. Not a liability, but not an elite player, either. At his best, I think he's very solid/above average... maybe top 12-15-ish in the league at LT.
  4. Charlie needs to get stronger, that’s for sure. And I remember the one long pass when he hesitated at the end of the route and that was disappointing. But remember, TB didn’t knock it out of the park starting out… really, his third year was when he broke out… and the crew that he was part of wasn’t as good with Jerome Simpson et al as the one Jones was brought into. No doubt he needs to improve but I’m not ready to say he can’t play, and be a solid contributor. But yeah, obviously this fall will be big for him.
  5. I really think it’s gonna come down to a DT or OL at 18, especially because there’s not as much high-end depth at DT. So if Murphy or Newton were there, and because they stand out and it’s a significant need for the present and future, that would be the pick, I’m guessing. With OL, there is more early talent, and there are guys in the top 50 who will likely be available in round 2, or in round 3. But I think a WR is definitely in play on day 2 and given the abundance of talent there, sounds like that’s a sweet spot to get one. ‘Course, I have no idea of the Bengals’ draft board and who will be available when their turn comes… so I’m sure I’ll be surprised when it’s Terrion Arnold or Cooper DeJean.
  6. I’d consider it, although as others have stated, Gesicki can/has played a lot of slot and they still don’t know what they have in Charlie Jones (I think he’ll be a weapon but because he has position flex, not sure he’s a FT slot guy). I have always liked TB and he’s obviously been a fixture there. He knows the offense cold and has rapport with JB. But you’ve got Chase, Tee, Andre, Irwin, Charlie Jones… and potentially a draftee. That’s already crowded.
  7. I actually I don’t care about Fuago. Does that mean Fuaga would be available? If yes, totally in… FTW!
  8. Yep, that is Kovacs. Mikey is a really good player… can do a lot of things well… former WR that moved to S. Can play slot well. Good ST player. Just one of those “it” guys who makes plays. Really clutch too.
  9. Yeah Pollack hasn’t impressed. Say what you want about Alexander, but he could find talent… guys like Willie, Levi Jones, Whit, Zeitler and Steinbach as highly drafted guys, Stacy Andrews, Bobbie Williams in FA, and even waived guys like Brilz, Cook and Braham. A different approach would be welcomed, since their current drafting approaches insanity from a process and especially playing effectiveness standpoint.
  10. Brooks at Texas is a really good back who had a tough injury last year. Adonai Mitchell is Tee-esque. Big target who can run better than Tee. Their TE, Sanders, can really threaten the seam as a TE... good receiver who they likely don't need now. But yeah, will be interested to see how the DLs looked.
  11. I would consider bringing Josh Tupou back on a 1-year deal. As a depth piece he gives you experience, knowledge of the D, and some ballast … and other depth like Carter and Maxwell and Jay Tufele may have some skills but heft vs. the run isn’t one of them. Domenique Davis gives you some but I’d prefer Tupou at this point.
  12. True, Hill has hardly played and when he did he was a human penalty flag. They do need depth for sure but other than Price and Zeitler, they don’t typically go early with interior OL. A couple of guys who are likely day 2 guys that are intriguing to me are Sedrick Van Pran of UGA and Christian Mahogany of BC.
  13. Great. Gives you more options in the draft but still expect a combo platter of DT, OT, WR and either OL or CB on days 1 and 2. That second 3rd round pick is a really nice add.
