    I think Johnson and fountain will also be fighting it out with Cain. We really don’t need to draft a WR until we know what we have. Especially if Inman re signs.

     

    But we Do know what we have. We have a Playmaker Star in TY. We have Funchess on a 1 year contract that so far in his career has been 'unspectacular'. Cain who flashed in camp but is coming off of a serious injury and still hasn't ever caught a nfl pass. Inman or not, outside of TY, we will have a WR group that are 'Just a guy' UNLESS we spend a High Draft pick on a WR. Which I doubt Ballard will do, but hope I am wrong.

    Two highly unlikely scenarios in which I included a 4 round mock draft with each trade.

     

    Trade the 26th pick

     

    For

     

    Eagles Rasual Douglass CB, 53rd and 57th

     

     

     

    The Eagles get 2 first rounder and plenty of ammunition to reload for a Superbowl run. With Darby coming back into the fold they can use Douglas as trade bait. The Eagles still have Mills, Darby, Sidney Jones at the CB position.

     

    The Colts flip the no. 26 pick into 3 players. Rasual Douglas has 2 more years on his rookie contract. He is 6'2 and has great zone awareness unfortunately on the Eagles he doesn't get any playtime unless its a injury.

     

    The Eagles can grab

    Greg Little OT to solidify their offensive line and prep for the future without Jason Peters.

     

    Mack Wilson LB to make up for the loss of their LB Hicks in free agency. Mack has range and the ability to cover TEs

     

    Leaving them with two 4th rounders, a 5th and a 6th to fill out the rest of their roster.

     

    Mock 1

     

    2. Jeffrey Simmons DT Mississippi State

    A powerful defender that has been compared to Fletcher Cox

     

    2. Charles Omenihu DE Texas

    Multi postion defensive lineman who can stay on the field for 3 downs.

     

    2. Juan Thornhill Safety Virginia

    Covers like a CB, range to take away half the field

     

    2. Joe Jackson DE Miami

    Long arms, high motor, poor man Brian Burns

     

    3. Isaiah Prince OT Ohio State

    Has improved at every year, physical tools are there must get doen mechanics

     

    4. Anthony Ratliff-Williams WR North Carolina

    Strong hands, great special team returner, good blocker

     

    4. Michael Jackson SR CB Miami

    Tall CB that excels in zone, good tackler

     

     

     

    Trade Down Scenario 2

     

    Trade 34

    We once again capitalize on moving back turning one pick into 3 players. Depending on who we sign in free agency this maybe a great option to get young players that maybe consider a reach but could still contribute to the team.

     

    For

     

    Kansas City Chiefs 61 (2nd), 64 (2nd) and next year 5th

     

    At 34 the Chiefs can grab Paris Campbell to help lessen the blow of a possible Tyreek Hill suspension. This may seem like a reach but Paris wont make it to pick 61. After a potential suspension the idea of Hill, Kelce and Campbell will make defensive coordinators lose sleep.

     

     

    Mock Draft 2

     

    1. Josh Jacobs RB Alabama

    Vision catching and pass protection makes him a welcome addition to the RBBC

     

    2. Joejuaun Williams CB Vanderbilt

    A terrific CB in many coverages with fluid hips and height/long arms to press

     

    2. Gerald Willis DT Miami

    A monster in the middle that can stuff the run and eat up double teams to free DEs for one on ones

     

    2. Riley Ridley WR Georgia

    Great release of the line and advanced route running compared to fellow WR

     

    3. Austin Bryant DE Clemson

    Doesn't have the best bend but find ways to collapse the line and pressure QBs

     

    4. Renell Wren DT Arizona State University

    Raw unfiltered strength

     

    4. Dru Samia OT/G Oklahoma

    Has the height, frame and feet to be a tackle. Just need mechanics and experience of holding a block against non big 12 opponents.

     

    I like Mock 2.

    We get 2 needed Offensive draftees early which is rarely the case in mocks around here.

    Solid move for Dallas if they can do it. Quinn still has some juice left.

     

    Dallas is trying to make moves lately despite their limited cap.

     

    Geathers, Cobb, Berry and now Quinn all brought in for visits and consideration. Good on them if any of them result in anything.

     

    Good for them.

    Jerry said he's not getting any younger and wants a SB asap.

    What are the odds? 

    Cardinals stick with Rosen 
    Giants wait for next year
    Dolphins wait for next year
    Raiders stick with Carr

    Redskins... can trade for Brissett :D :goodluck:

     

    0%.

    I think Murray is going 1st overall.

     

    And this QB class may be underrated and in a few years may go down as a better class than '18.

     

    Baker looks to be the real deal.

     

    I'm not sold on Darnold being anything better than average. Especially developing with the Jets.

     

    I'm not sold on Allen even being average, especially with the Bills organization.

    Lamar Jackson may never develop into a adequate passer.

    Rosen's career could hinge on his next team. He may wind up being 2nd best in this class.

     

    Murray may be a Generational Talent.

    Haskins has all the skills to be a top pocket passer often compared to Big Ben.

    Locke I think Elway likes and will draft him.

     

    I expect at least 3 to go in 1st round.

    And if the Cheaters don't trade for Rosen I think they will use a 1st on a QB to groom as Brady's successor.

  5. Ajai definitely has some talent. 3 200+ games that I can remember. The only question is his seemingly chronic knee problems. If healthy, and that's a BIG IF, Mack will have someone to share some of the load without a significant dropoff in talent.

    Ive lived in NYC, California, and Indiana. I do have room to talk. Ill take the perfect weather and 10 minute walk to the beach over snow anyday of the week. Different strokes though..... 

     

    I live in Lake Worth, Fl. suburb of West Palm Beach. Part of my exercise routine is to cross LW bridge walking and walk on beach.

  7. I say he gets 3 years $22 mil.

     

    Whatever he gets from whatever team, I hope the Guarnteed part is to his liking. Not to long ago some thought he shpuld retire because further damaging his neck would be dangerous. So I hope that when he walks away from playing he has enough money to take care of himself and family financially.

    Not sure where you heard this (link?), but the meltdowns that would ensue amongst Seahawks fans if they were to trade Wilson make me want it to happen so badly.

     

    No links but I've heard it on tv and my brother said he heard it last week. And today I heard on Florio & Simms say something he's not wanting to sign extension now or something?

    Yup, singer. She seems like a decent chick, but she married him knowing his job. 

    He seems to have done a lot off the field in Seattle. Thought I read something about investment in an arena, and trying to bring baseball to Portland. 

     

    He'll be a UFA after this year, so wouldn't be shocked either way. 

     

    If he leaves I think Carroll will soon follow. Then the team that was known as the Legion of Doom will be the Team of Gloom for a long, long time.

    I'll predict Brissett to the Giants for a 3rd round pick. They got an extra 3rd in the Beckham trade, and the Giants have Eli at QB and aren't interested in Haskins. Also think the Cardinals take Murray before them. Perfect match for Brissett. Predicting it now!

     

    There's been some rumours that Russel Wilson's wife wants NY over Seattle and he may be traded there. If not, I can see Rosen with NYG or pats. Then maybe Brissett to Seahawks if they trade Wilson.

    Glass half-full or empty.

    you say it doesnt make him right, i say it doesnt make him wrong.  We are saying EXACTLY the same thing really, just a diffrrent perspective.

      Beyond that, our young guys (you know the ones surprising everyone like our 2 rookie all-pros?  Well, soon they, and Kelly, and Ebron, etc will be FA.  I'd like to be able to keep these guys, preferably by extensions before they are FA.  With Ballards approach, we can do this.  If i'm spending on long-term contracts, i prefer them on players i've been around daily and know as well as my own kids. I know their strengths and weaknesses and their fit.  Continuity and true team-thinking is critical.  

      The more you look at both sides of the "FA spending spree" and analyze past outcomes, the more it seems almost common sense.

     

      

     

    Soon? Soon?

     

    I thought 1st rounders & 2nd rounders had 4 & 3 year rookie contracts, or is it 5 & 4 ? 

     

    Nelson & Leonard are atleast 3 & 2 years away from them hitting FA. Lol.

    Maybe Ballard has a clause in his contract that he gets to keep a percentage of the unspent salary cap. I'm just kidding, but businesses out in the corporate world do have those kinds of things.

    After I accepted that there was going to be no big signing at the start of free agency this year, I really was hoping that the Colts would have dome SOMETHING the last two days. out of the bargain bin. Nope...looks like the Dollar Store again this year. Sigh!!

     

    Lol....and Dollar Tree anounced they are closing hundreds of stores....whats a thrifty GM to do? haha
