    Dudes 6'7" and 317. Big boy. Projects to play guard.

    I saw him play against Coastal Carolina this year at RT.  Just re-watched the game.  Small sample size, but once he locks on you you're not going anywhere.  I didn't get a sense of his mobility, but he pulled well and cleared out traffic road grader style.  Moved well in pass pro, but I thought he was rather high in stance (but I don't really know these things, lol).

    From what I read it’s supposed to be a very good draft for DT’s so the idea of moving back into the 1st round entered my mind as well.  Picking up an additional 20m in cap space really opens the possibility for adding another premium player in FA who would be younger than Buckner who is 30 I believe.  Hard to see them doing the Buckner trade proposal but you never know until the phone call comes in.  

    Okay, you sold me, for the most part, on the Buckner possibility, haha.  I didn't realize it was a good draft for DT's.  It's always an unknown in the draft, but this year may be the year to do this.

     

    I also agree with someone who said that if Ballard doesn't pull the trigger in FA this year on day 1 he's never going to do it (trading our #1 is the same in my mind).  My mindset is that he feels he has the franchise QB in AR and this is the year to go all in to get the roster to the next level.  Next year we won't (hopefully) have a draft at 15, but more probably in the 20's.  Get that guy this year and we can get this team to a much higher level.  Of course this is just my opinion and is completely against his past norms.

    Interesting article on PFF.  They suggest the Colts should trade their 1st pick for A.J.Brown.  They also suggest the Bengals should trade their 2nd rd pick and another pick this year for Buckner.  Colts save over 20m in cap space and the Bengals plug a major hole on their defensive interior. 

    As a casual fan, I could see doing the Brown trade.  Young, proven vet under contract until end of 2026(?).  Definitely upgrades our WR corp and is another toy for AR.  I’m good with that.  

     

    Not so much with Buckner for a 2nd and another pick.  It leaves a hole in the Dline which we have no replacement for.  So what are we gaining here?  We have cap space for the next couple of years from what I read here, so money is not *really* an issue.  

     

    Is there a lineman in the draft that could take his place in the bottom of the first?  Maybe we could take both second rounders and move up to the bottom of the first for his replacement?  I don’t know, just asking.

    We will disagree on this one. The offense should not lose possession unless the other team recovers it, JMO. If a team fumbles the ball at midfield and it goes out of bounds, the offense maintains possession where the ball went out. What is the difference. Your offense could have a 90 yard drive, then fumble at the 1 and goes out of bounds so they get penalized for that?? Nah.

    Yeah, we'll disagree, but to answer your question; if you get tackled in the end zone it's a safety.  If you get tackled anywhere else it's just a tackle.  The end zone is special.
