method man

I wonder if Jimmy is the next Deltha O'Neal. That guy was a Pro Bowler who was a pick machine but would get burned all game long

This is the best and most realistic trade option for Doctson. We should trade him for someone who has busted on another team due to scheme fit or injury

Question regarding comp picks. If we cut Flowers before the start of the season, does he no longer count toward the comp pick formula, meaning we get the 5th for losing Nsekhe back?

I'd bring Donald Penn in for a workout. He is 36 but is only a year removed from a Pro Bowl caliber year for the Raiders. He is a guy who could at least be serviceable, even if he is approaching the twilight of his career. Although it would suck to not get to use our first on one of the elite WRs in this upcoming draft, we could use it on one of the elite tackles

I wonder why Josh Bynes, who started for the Cardinals last year, was released. He played well for them and was put on IR in November after a thumb injury. He graded well by PFF last year - they should bring him in

Issue with Cooper is he plays just one position. He has value if he starts but this is not the case if we his just depth. There is also a chance too that he will be out there to pick up if we do need him

Really bummed about his playoff career. Loved him as a player - complete secondary guy capable of playing any role. If he were still on the team, he would be the starting free safety. Happy for him that he has this role now

Across the board, the media is overrating our draft. We did not use our draft capital optimally. Where I fundamentally disagree with how this team drafts is Allen, Williams, Smith et al 1) promote quantity over quality, 2) not evaluating upside properly enough thru Day 2, 3) overdrafting certain players relative to general draft grade and 4) drafting relatively high picks at positions of depth. On #1, I think the team made a big mistake in not packaging both 3rd's to move into the 2nd to snag AJ Brown. We missed out on a chance at a guy with legitimate #1 WR potential as a result and a likely floor of at least a starter. Instead, we got ourselves a bunch of dime a dozen players with role player upside with the 3rd and 2 4ths - in many of these cases, we are not much worse off signing a bunch of veteran street castoffs instead of drafting them. My example in #1 reflects #2 as well. Another example, AJ Brown aside, is the decision to take McLaurin over Kahale Waring. By all accounts, Waring is a guy many project as at least an average starter in this league due to his abilities as both a receiver and blocker & athleticism. Drafting Waring would've made Vernon Davis expendable and, in a season or two, he could've taken over for Reed as the starter at TE. Instead, again, the team took a career backup WR type with this pick and, thus, not optimizing for value of the slot. On #3, every year, it seems that in rounds 3-5, the team ends up reaching for guys who otherwise would have gone at least 2 rounds or more later. This year it was Martin, last year it was Christian and Apke, and in 2017 it was Anderson. Not shockingly, all these guys (except Martin who we need to see) have underperformed relative to the slot. On #4, over the years, I've hated all the round 1-4 picks the Skins have burned on average EDGEs and RBs. I have no clue why you burn a second on Anderson when you know you have Preston Smith for at least two seasons more. This year, Love could be a good 3rd down back in 2020 but I think few probably see him as a Pro Bowl type

interesting too that they decided to pass on both mack wilson (who would boot mason foster off the roster) and deionte thompson (who has a shot as a day 1 starter but will have durability issues due to his build)

He is our Thompson replacement

Trade down annoys me. Dawson Knox, although raw, was the legit last 2 way tight end left in the draft. Means that VD is back next season

I take Waring. He is the all around TE we need

Given all the ace linemen are off the board, if a run starts on receivers at this point, I want to see if if we can trade #76 and the 2 5ths to move up to take AJ Brown. That way, we still keep the comp pick and should see a solid TE there, whether it is Waring, the guy from Ole Miss, Foster Moreau, etc

As others have pointed out, there are a ton of really good receivers and tight ends left on the board and we can likely wait until #76 to take one of these guys. What I would think about is packaging the comp pick with one of the 5ths and maybe a Day 3 pick next year to move up to take Risner if he is still there in the middle of the 2nd. This guy is an immediate day 1 starter at LG and his positional versatility would allow him to step in at RT and do a competent job at LT when Moses / Williams inevitably go down. If the identity of the team is going to be heavy run ball control / strong D, need to make sure that the OL is as solid as possible I would also avoid taking a safety in Day 2. As others have pointed out, Tre Boston, a guy you can bring in to be an above average starter, is sitting out there in FA and we would be able to sign him to a reasonable deal. Because we'd be signing him after the draft, he would not count toward the comp pick formula next year

Didn't we end up missing out on JJ Watt as a result of the trade down?
