I think we are sleeping on Hudson. His snaps to catch numbers were very high. Much higher than any FA in the class.

This team is full of guys just like that. We can't quite count on yet but we have an investment and we need to see where that investment goes. Turner-Hill-Murphy-Jones-Yoshi-Brown. Without snaps they won't develop. We can't count on them enough yet to give them snaps. Leveraging vets around them I think mitigates that. That's an argument for the return of Mixon, Higgins, Signing vets at S-Slot WR and Corner.

This is a tough one for me. I think veterans sliding in at corner and safety make the most sense with how young we are. This is how I have it mocked up. Veterans in turquoise or whatever color you want to call that. To me rookies just create more questions and don't provide the incubator for the 6 young guys we already like. A steady veteran at both positions I think would. This is another position where I find I have locked in my thinking. I have seen a lot of people say Rd 1 should be RT-DT-Bowers or a Corner. I just can't see the corner. I really liked how Turner and Ivey played despite the hiccups you mentioned-which I don't disagree with. S Battle 27 UDFA UDFA S Hill 27 Anderson 26 UDFA CB Taylor-Britt 26 George CB Turner 27 Ivey 27 UDFA NB Hilton 25 Davis 25 UDFA

Where does everyone land on Turner?

The final one Probably 5 of the 6 spots are locks. Maybe 4 CTB-Stud #1CB Turner-Up and down rookie year Ivey-looked solid then hurt Hilton-Might be due for a short extension Davis-very well thought of here

Dropped to 31.1 so bad. But he was a great receiver.

I guess I didn't realize they had gotten so high Type Amount First Round $6,822,000 Second Round $4,890,000 Right of First Refusal $2,985,000 I could see us doing the Hudson Tender. But I will agree with you on Irwin. They like him but we might be better off if he leaves.

Confused on Irwin and Hudson. One site has them both restricted another has them both UFAs. I assume if RFAs they both will be tendered and Wilcox will not.

Adding Tee, Browning and Adomonitis or however you spell it

Ther other side of that is just don't pay him as well! I have been ignoring the possibility Perine is back. Whats better Mixon-Brown-Rookie-Williams Brown-Perine-Rookie-Williams

I will not complain if they don't bring back Mixon. He just seems like the type they want for the ride. Captain, 1000yard rusher, 50 catches. We see he doesn't have the explosion but he gives them some stability. I get most excited about a 2 year deal for Moss.

I think it will be a cut and re-sign for Mixon with Brown, A DP and Williams. Evans and a UDFA for camp.

None of the high level guys look to be getting franchised. The Market at FA RB should be interesting. I assume we wisely sit out the top end and sign a lower end veteran or just cut and re-sign Mixon. It would be a surprise to see him back at that number not to see him back.

I think he might be restricted. 🤷‍♀️

That and Stover would be fine by me.

Jonnu Smith needs added here.

Did a bit more digging. Hudson's per snap reception totals are pretty nuts. This is him compared to the other FAs. What we really need is a guy to take a 5 yard pass to 25 TE Age Snaps stats Hudson-Bengals 30 276 39-352-9-1 Schultz-Texans 28 817 59-635-10.8-5 Henry-Patriots 29 663 42-419-10-6 Everett-Chargers 30 570 51-411-8.1-3 Fant-Seahawks 26 570 32-414-12.9-0 Smith-Falcons 29 653 50-582-11.6-3 Parkinson-Seahawks 25 494 25-247-9.9-2

I think logically it makes more sense to sign FAs at TE and WR. Take advantage of the idea that players may want to play with Burrow and be willing to come here at a bit of a discount. There appear to be just 5 FA options that are an obvious upgrade to Hudson 1-Hunter Henry is older and that might mean a cheaper deal 2-Gerald Everett-A bit older and we have already had a chance at him and didn't take it despite connections to Taylor 3-Dalton Schultz-He just had a great year and is likely back to the Texans None of those 3 fit what we usually go after....younger vets on the rise. 27 and younger 4. Noah Fant-He is just turned 26 and that's what we like. He had is least snaps and worst year statistically in Seattle. That might be meaningless because they have a new offense. They added Ryan Grubb from Washington as their OC.. I'd be lying if I said I knew how they used their TEs. We know the Ravens like theirs. He would be my first target. Maybe after an off year you can get him for a reasonable price. The problem is PFF says he is getting 3 years 24 Million. I don't think we pay that. 5. Colby Parkinson-The only other guy under 27. Is he an obvious upgrade to Hudson? Is he obviously better than a rookie? He has the size we tend to like. Only 57 career catches while splitting time with Dissly and Fant. I like his highlights. He has run after the catch ability and high points the ball in a way that I think Burrow can make useful. If you could get him for 3 years 3-4 mill per I think he is the guy to go with. Push off getting an elite TE but get a solid one and use draft picks and money elsewhere. It's a bad Draft at the position and we are likely to bring back Hudson and Sample. I guess after thinking through it the best scenario/most likely is Parkinson on a 1 year deal. He cashes out next year with a big season....and we are hedged for if Bowers doesn't fall or if we don't like any of these other TEs.

Everybody's working for the weekend!!!! -Hendrickson is a stud -Murphy is on the rise -Hubbard has been talked about as a cut/restructure candidate. I don't see it as he was playing hurt last year is a team captain and normally a great run stuffer -Ossai flashed a tiny bit at the end of the year. He is in his final year and never really put anything together -Sample is completely unsung, a very steady force as a LE -Gunter is back as a futures bro. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_oGEDBZnU6LESfPLyD8apeXSKI-OJ4Z8IWYd7YcnAsM/edit?usp=sharing Draft Order Cap DE/Edge Age Overall Run D Pass Rush Coverage Snaps Starts 2023/Career stats Notes Hendrickson-Bengals 29 82.3 51 90.7 47.5 742 17/64 43-16fl-25h-17.5s-3ff-3pd 721Out Hubbard-Bengals 28 61.9 61.1 57.5 73.6 713 15/74 58-7fl-17h-6s-2fr 672Out Ossai-Bengals 24 68.4 64.2 64.1 65.9 177 0/0 10-1fl-7h-1s-1pd 126Out Sample-Bengals 25 61.6 61.8 62.4 49.8 375 2/3 29-1fl-8h-1.5s-1pd 291Out Murphy-Bengals 22 56.2 46.8 64.3 58.6 304 0/0 20-3fl-3h-3s 288Out Gunter-Bengals 25 Edge 3 Van Ginkel-Dolphins 29 91.1 76.3 90.6 87.3 727 11/42 69-8fl-19h-6s-2fr-8pd-1int 561 Out Hobby 20 IR-Foot 7 Gipson-Titans 27 89.6 66.3 89.3 62.7 76 0/19 6-1s-1ff 118.7 6'4 263 Allen-Jaguars 27 89.5 73.2 89.4 62.8 880 17/60 66-17fl-33h-17.5s-2ff-1pd-1int 855 Out Graham-Eagles 36 84 72.1 80.2 69 427 0/105 16-4fl-6h-3s-1pd 336OUT 6 Smith-Browns 32 83.1 59.7 86.8 87.1 603 16/80 27-8fl-20h-5.5s-1ff-3pd 507Out 10 Clowney-Ravens 31 82.9 74.6 79 62.6 747 15/113 43-9fl-19h-9.5s-1fr-2ff-5pd 633 Out Barnett-Texans 28 82.4 74.3 73.9 77.4 415 4/49 22-9fl-11h-2,5s-1pd 306Out Hendrickson-Bengals 29 82.3 51 90.7 47.5 742 17/64 43-16fl-25h-17.5s-3ff-3pd 721Out 10 Huff-Jets 26 79.7 48.1 86.8 68.2 481 0/7 19-10fl-21h-10s-1pd 457 OUT Greenard-Texans 27 76.6 69.7 72.9 69.1 697 15/32 52-15fl-22h-12.5s-1ff-2pd 612Out 2 Epenesa-Bills 26 75.8 53 75 85.2 438 1/4 20-7fl-10h-6.5s-1fr-1ff-8pd-1int 383 Out 10 Van Noy-Ravens 34 75 55.7 77.2 69.5 562 3/89 30-9fl-9h-0s-2ff-4pd 464 Out Hobby 20 10 Harrison-Ravens 26 74.3 71.1 66.5 69.4 226 8/27 20-1h 167 Out Lewis-Colts 29 73.7 61.9 76.6 60 703 0/16 25-9fl-13h-4s 292Out-102OVT Young-49ers 25 73.6 63.1 74.5 64.7 836 6/32 25-7fl-15h-7.5s-2pd 717Out 1 Haynes-Panthers 30 71.9 84.3 56.5 60.1 142 1/2 16-3fl-2h-1s 138Out 8 Armstrong-Cowboys 27 69.6 58.1 69.7 72.4 468 1/14 38-7fl-12h-7.5s-1pd 303 Out Ossai-Bengals 24 68.4 64.2 64.1 65.9 177 0/0 10-1fl-7h-1s-1pd 126Out Hughes-Texans 36 67.7 58.4 67.2 64.8 474 2/152 32-ffl-3h-3s-1ff 464Out 8 Fowler-Cowboys 30 63.8 62 69.9 64.3 275 0/40 13-5fl-7h-4s-1ff-3pd 257 Out Hobby 2017 Wonnum-Vikings 27 62.3 68.6 56.8 53.4 826 14/31 62-7fl-15h-8s-1fr-6pd Martin-Colts 28 62.1 49.7 71.5 192 0/15 7-1fl-3h-2s 189 Out 8 Gaziano-Falcons 28 62 62.3 57.3 48 0/1 2 40Out Hubbard-Bengals 28 61.9 61.1 57.5 73.6 713 15/74 58-7fl-17h-6s-2fr 672Out Sample-Bengals 25 61.6 61.8 62.4 49.8 375 2/3 29-1fl-8h-1.5s-1pd 291Out Ferrell-49ers 27 60.7 47.4 60.4 67.6 471 17/47 28-6fl-13h-3.5s-1fr-1ff-1pd 453Out 10 Lawson-Jets 29 60.3 64.8 53.6 101 0/31 5 99 Out Okwara-Lions 26 60.2 72.7 62.5 47.3 120 1/4 7-2fl-4h-2s-1pd 118 Out 2 Floyd-Bills 32 58.7 56.1 64.3 33.4 627 16/120 32-9fl-19h-10.5s-1ff-1pd 564 Out 2 Smith-Williams-Commanders 27 58.6 61.4 50 69.3 418 7/27 22-2fl-8h-1s 403 OUT Ogbah-Dolphins 31 57.2 39.7 67.1 74.7 248 1/71 20-3fl-9h-5.5s-1ff-2pd-1int 242Out Hobby 20 CC Murphy-Bengals 22 56.2 46.8 64.3 58.6 304 0/0 20-3fl-3h-3s 288Out 8 Dupree-Falcons 31 56 65.4 51.3 48.6 725 16/99 39-8fl-8h-6.5s-3pd 719OUT Harris-Lions 29 55.9 64.8 53.7 64.6 291 3/30 13-2fl-5h-1,5s 436 Out Captain Davenport-Vikings 28 55.4 52.3 60.1 53.4 118 3/35 7-2fl-4h-2s 90Out Chaisson-Jaguars 25 54.7 58 58.2 60.1 283 0/11 13-4fl-8h-2s-1pd 268 Out 2 Toohill-Commanders 28 52.1 51.7 54 49.6 494 8/14 26-6fl-7h-5s-1fr 490 Out 9 Green-Bears 27 50.6 48.7 52.1 66 385 0/29 15-2fl-5h-2s 348 Out Murchison-Rams 27 48.6 53.4 46.2 261 3/8 16-1h 136B-80OVT Lawson-Bills 30 46.2 48.5 54.5 36.7 354 1/38 13-2fl-7h-1s 299 Out Hobby 15, 20 Gregory-49ers 32 45.6 56 53.7 40.3 461 3/18 20-6fl-10h-3.5s-1pd 410Out 1 Wormley-Panthers 30 44.3 41.5 62.6 46 0/31 4 8B-33OV-4Out 5 Ward-Giants 30 42.4 40.4 53.9 49.5 661 9/35 24-5fl-9h-5s-1fr-1ff 471OUT-111OVT Smoot-Jaguars 29 42.4 38.4 50 47.6 340 0/17 10-1s-1ff 174 Out-122 OVT Hobby 2018 9 Ngakoue-Bears 29 39.9 37.7 47.6 52.6 592 13/115 22-6fl-7h-4s 586 Out Hobby 2018 4 Collier-Cardinals 29 37 47.4 43 37 1/17 2 23B-14OVT Left End 8 Campbell-Falcons 38 80 80.2 68.5 63.1 712 17/225 56-10fl-17h-6.5s 447Out-164OVT Hobby 17 Danna-Chiefs 26 65.7 61.6 59.5 69.1 874 16/23 50-7fl-13h-6.5s-3pd 504Out-111B 7 Autry-Titans 34 61.7 52 66 68.7 767 14/89 50-12fl-17h-11.5s-4pd-2ff 494OUT-223 OV 6'5 285 10 Jefferson-Jets 31 52.9 38.8 73.2 60.8 468 14/62 34-4fl-13h-6s-1fr-1ff 242OVT-182B Bullard-Vikings 31 46.4 53.8 46.9 59.8 643 14/36 44-3fl-2h-2s-1ff 278OVT-239B-121Out This spot is a bit of a conundrum. We like the guys we gave, but want them to be better. 1. Carl Lawson makes sense coming back on a vet min deal 2. I have always loved Darnell Autry and he can play inside....but he will be 34

I cant spend back to back draft picks on punters
