I wouldn’t be surprised if we have had serious talks with Diggs, Simmons, or a veteran corner & that is our plan.

I’m happy to have someone like this FINALLY! I thought it was a foregone conclusion he was going pick 1 today. He has high WR1 potential & Ballard struck. Will be interesting to see what we do here in round 3. A secondary player is needed but we already have so many young players. We could use a developmental offensive guard/center & a RB.

He was destined to go to the Colts

I would say the odds we trade back out of the first round are zero. He just mentioned that they have 19-21 players with first round grades. We are guaranteed to get one of them where we pick. There are probably 10-12 BLUE chip prospects. We are lucky as many teams need a QB & OLINE ahead of us. We’ll have a ton of options at 15.

I would agree. It’s crazy how things can turn. If we managed to land Diggs or Simmons, we’d go from one of the worst to the best safety groups in the league. Two solid starters. & Cross + Thomas would be a great backup duo. Not necessarily starters at this point, but they can fill in well when needed.

Well - it only makes sense for Ballard to double down on the FA market now for CB/S or both safety spots.

This has been an interesting FA. First 2-3 days were wild. However, it’s been the slowest week 2 FA across the league that I can remember.

If we aren’t resigning Blackmon, I see no way we don’t sign Simmons or Diggs. We were weak there last year. Blackmon was the only bright spot. Not sure if Gilmore would be interested in returning, BUT that could make sense if he wants to mentor the young guys. Curious on how he graded out last year

Exactly. The next moves have to be signing a safety & depth on the OLINE

You can never tell with this scheme. Any corner would look bad if we continue to play with a 10 yard cushion. Sneed would be a huge upgrade regardless. Still doesn’t address our glaring hole at safety

I’ve refreshed so many times hoping for this Sneed trade or a Safety signing - I’m worn out. lol

I can’t imagine giving up $35 million by not playing one more year when you are still arguable the best defensive player in the game. Happy for him & his family tho

O/U 1 on signings today?

We’ll see. I imagine it’ll take at least 2nd. We’re competing with a few teams according to reports. I’d be ecstatic with a 3rd or 4th rounder for him even if we do have to pay him

That is a very reasonable contract. But if Ballard is trying to get Sneed, it’s a moot point. He might think our young guys are going to take that next step this year too. Can’t rule out our guys being very good year 2
