I would be a fan of trading down but just too tempted to try to sign a game breaker at DT or EDGE and after 23 we may not get the chance. Give me Byron Murphy or Lata for 4 years…
National fantasy football guy with pretty large following. Nixon move drawing major praise on national level. Pair him with a draftee and allow a transition year for draftee to become the man.
OK so I was unfamiliar with Danielle Hunter’s game. Apologies Mr Hunter. The consensus among so called experts is he would be an upgrade over Greenard (!?). I think people underrate Greenard, he was so badass for us in pass & run. But, let’s go get this dude.
We are in a crazy good spot. We can clearly get a S in market, and choosing between Greenard or Wilkins then drafting the other spot is prime because both positions project elite options expected to be available at 23.
Im personally for Greenard, and drafting Newton if we’re lucky or ‘having to settle’ for Byron fucking Murphy at 23, which puts an exclamation on how prime our spot is right now.
No reason not to do this really. He’s a known commodity who fits with Stroud and front office guys clearly like, that’s way better than using a draft pick on someone other than Bowers and hoping we get the same.
I like it. Also shows that guys who perform on one year deals can get paid.
As it relates to RBs, I do not want to give up any significant monies to get Saquon/Henry/Jacobs. If we got one cheap I’m all for it. But these days better to invest in the OL and let rookies carry the rock on rookie contracts, unless a vet wants to come in at a competitive price to do it.
And for the record I think all three guys I mentioned are badass, I just want the team to allocate funds elsewhere with CJ being the clear focal point.
As the Texans dunk on errbody, I can’t help but think of the words of the great Kenneth Powers:
“This is why I’m better than everyone in the world. Kiss my ass and suck my dick, everyone.”
Andrew Luck didn’t go 11-5 and Ben R didn’t go 13-3. The teams they played for may have, but that is no measure of the QB. Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl as a below average QB because he played in front of the greatest defense in 20 years. That does not change he was a below average QB.
