  1. Vikings add another first rounder. Trying to collect picks to move up to get a QB I think.
  2. Im just catching up with this thread....but the Ravens have lost a ton this offseason and added just Henry
  3. Usually on all the free agents whose numbers stand out I watch a highlight video and an interview. He wins both.
  4. The Mixon signing is the most insane thing I have ever seen. Why would they do that? They had him for a year already. His market was not going to be anywhere near that.
  5. So its probably Tart and Becton with money left over for a veteran CB maybe Fuller maybe Xavier Howard who our corners coached just coached. Then we start gobbling up the dudes we wanted and didn't re-sign from our team Hudson-Wilcox-Bailey-Scharping-Bachie. The one spot I hope they sign someone but likely won't, Slot WR. It's loaded. Go get a guy like Jamal Agnew who could be in a nice rotation at slot with Jones and Gesicki. Agnew is aged but played corner up until 4 years ago.
  6. Agree....I also wouldn't be surprised if Bell beats him out in camp. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/travis-bell/32004245-4c62-2703-2af3-e6ea1b52f8c8 We scooped up him and Harper late...A strategy I love but they don't typically do not to give guys a chance.
  7. Dalton Risner once again has no market. I dont get it. Let him compete with Volson at LG if it doesn't materialize.
  8. Heading into day 4 QB: I assume still they don't really target anyone. Logan Woodside makes sense down the road. RB: Probably done. CEH has some momentum from fans I just think he sort of sucks at sports. Maybe Ty Johnson but I doubt they do that. WR: Higgins here long term. Surprised they haven't re-signed Irwin. Jones will likely get a real chance at the slot. The slot free agent list is long and distinguished. This is a scenario where they really should sign someone for at around league minimum: Samuel, Harty, Scott Miller, Jamal Agnew, Quez Watkins, Braxton Berrios, Paris Campbell, Renfrow. Too much sense not to sign someone and hedge for Jones. TE: They don't have a complete guy yet but I don't think that guy is in free agency at this point. Deeper dive for the draft needed. I bet Hudson is back. OL: Becton visits today and should sign. He is a huge guy and a huge risk but we almost certainly draft a T round 1. Trent Brown also available. Nijman also available. There are a couple of guys out there still with high upside. Connor Williams, Dalton Risner, At some point if they have no market....Risner was coached just last year by our new passing game coordinator. We need interior depth. Scharping is probably back but we also have connections to Schlottman, Allen, McGovern, Elfein, DL: It really feels like Reader is going to the Lions and then we sign Teiar Tart. DE: Wouldn't surprise me if we added Carl Lawson or Ogbah on league minimum deals. Both have ties to our staff. LB: Bachie and Bailey both still available. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they walked. Essentially they are 3rd string now. If they have no suitors they are back. S: I think we are tapped out here. CB: The list is too long. They will likely sign someone who you could see starting. If the money isn't used for Reader they might just go after Fuller.
  9. Love the Bell signing. I am a big fan of filling the roster with veterans and as much talent as possible. Bell does that.
  10. You think they don't like Bell? Seems there's a place for a veteran backup still depending on what Hill's role is.
  11. Always a good reminder to remember why these guys are available. For guys like Moss and Stone it's that they are good but they are backups. For Nijman they don't have a stud.
  12. How would you feel about Nijman and Adam Butler? That's probably where we end up. Keep Reader...Draft a RT Rd 1, DT Rd 2
  13. I really do think half the fans don't pay any attention. The team has said....all the way to Burrow that they want more explosiveness. Mixon was cooked in that area. His advanced stats showed he basically got what was blocked and broke no tackles. Moss on the other hand was not...he got more than what is blocked and was far more elusive. There is no such thing as a bridge player at RB really in the sense you are talking about it. Moss got a 2 year deal because they don't want anything to do with a RB beyond that age and mileage. It wouldn't surprise me if they drafted a RB but they certainly won't be drafting the RB of the future and Moss won't be a bridge to them. They will roll with Moss-Brown for the next 2 years with Williams and a Rookie maybe contributing. Mixon might get more yards because he might be the primary back in Houston. It's very unlikely he will have more explosive plays then Brown or Moss.
  14. Alot of twitter is freaking out about DT being such a big hole and us not signing anyone. Once again I think it's just patience. The contracts signed, other than Malcolm Roach have been dumb. We are looking for what essentially is a player in a 3 man rotation of Hill-Rookie-Free Agent. There are a dozen guys left who can do that well. There are some guys who can play nose....but no one anywhere close to Reader. I hope he never gets on the plane to Detroit. 3Ts available 1-Armstead 2-Rankins 3-Joseph-Day 4-Hand-Dolphins 5-Watts-Stealers 6-Tillery 7-Urban 8-Butler-Raiders 9-Poona Ford 10-Taven Bryan 11-DeShawn Williams Nose 1-John Jenkins 2-Tart 3-Mone 4-Purcell
  15. Love it. I view him as a replacement for Jones who is replacing Boyd and a replacement for Irv Smith....who sucks at sports. He is a fantastic backup TE and slot who might start at TE technically.
