I hope we draft PSU TE Pat Freiemuth in the 2nd. Would be the perfect complement to Thomas.

 

Fortunately, you have options on Day 2. Jordan and Tremble would be good too. Tremble is an exceptional blocker

[evmiii]

Another good thing about the Samuels signing is that will probably drive up the price for Galladay to potential suitors, specifically the Giants.

Do we know the structure of “The Gadget’s” contract. Interested to see this years cap hit. 

[JamesMadisonSkins]

I bet Samuel year 1 hit us around $4-5m. So I’m thinking we have around $15-16m in cap space. So still a solid $6-8m in year 1 money to spend befor you get to a spot where you’ll want to save for the season. Draft picks will cost $7m but remember that means they’re replacing 6-7 contracts currently being accounted for in the Top 51, so you really need net $2m for rookies. So assuming we save $5-7m for in season we could theoretically still spend a decent chunk on some bargains a la last year

Harmon isn't big enough. AGG has TE height at 6-4

I wasn't sure about how big or tall either one was though

I’m thinking they need to get Tre Boston or Hooker. We can then say we got a cheap hooker 

 

Boston should be an easy sell. These guys drafted him and he'll benefit heavily playing with an elite pass rush and one of the better corner duos in the league. It will make him look good and get him a multiyear deal somewhere

Teddy Bridgewater was more accurate than Allen? 

Teddy Bridge is not losing a QB competition to Allen.  Regardless, I would much rather have Fitzmagic throwing to these guys than Bridgewater or Allen.  This offense is going to be explosive no matter who is at QB though.

Now let's bring in Juju for 1 year. Yes I'm greedy.

and anthony harris and a long term deal for allen.

then zaven in the first or cox in the second, and bpa everywhere else. 

That would satisfy my greed.

You are not forced to take a OT round 1 or 2. Cornelius Lucas has been solid the past two years - he is the most underrated player on the team. 

 

If Darrisaw is there at #19, you take him but I wouldn't reach for an Eichenberg or Cosmi. 

I don't think Eichenberg is a reach in the 2nd round.  He's a blue collar LOT that get's the job done in pass and run blocking.

[Est.1974]

Great move getting Samuel in.

You know not a bad idea.  He has great hands and for speed he would be excellent.  Can he block though?

This is how the Raiders developed their TE Waller....

[86 Snyder]

I think FS and LB will be the last two major signings...and by major I mean a step down from what we've done so far.  Then depth after.

 

And honestly we'd be sitting pretty, pretty, prettyyyyyyyy good come draft day.  

 

This roster gonna look damn solid by opening day.

 

A+ offseason so far.  A+

Meant at #19. I'd be ok with Eichenberg in rd 2, knowing his upside would be as an average LT, which is still decent value

[Malapropismic Depository]

Maybe the Samuel signing, along with their Buckeye background, will make it easier to get McLaurin to extend

Pre injury Teddy I would agree but Teddy just hasn't looked right since. Looks hope its more fitzmagic thrown than Fitiztragic making those throws.

I think the Ravens converted him from WR to TE and the Raiders just continued the process

Love the reaction by Terry Mc. Just what you want to see.

A-  A+ on the signings but they get dinged in my opinion for not locking up BS long term and paying him 18M this year. But solid off-season for sure 

[boston skins fan]

Might be off topic but why is Micah Parsons dropping in the mocks?  he was always in the top 10 now im seeing him more in the 15 to 20 range

DAMN IT.

 

You are 100% correct.

 

A+ on the signings in my book.
