Yeah, the option just makes a ton of sense. It’s affordable, he’s got good praise for his off-seasons efforts to improve and he and Dayo were heading into a contract year. We can’t expect Latu to go out year one and get double digit sacks (but then again…) so not forcing ourselves into a really tough decision next off-season frees us up to have options. 1. Extend dayo 2. Extend Kwity 3. draft/trade for/sign replacement for one of them as opposed to having to find a solution for both. And then we could extend Kwity during the season this year or year after next.

That’s my hope at least. We feel, more than any year in recent memory, primed to possibly go into next year’s off-season with no major holes (assuming we re-sign our FAs or our depth looks ready to step up). That lets us take BPA or try again to move up for an elite prospect. But there are a lot of IFs here (IF our DBs have an improved year. IF we don’t have any major fall offs in performance. IF we don’t have any late season major injuries, IF our rookies this coming year show us their trajectory is still high. I would classify myself as cautiously amped moving forward haha.

Nice! Can’t wait to check them out

Switch AD to M and add in Pittman and we can call them ARMPITT

Well said. I get that everyone has their preferences but our biggest needs are less like holes and more like a need for premium upgrades. The three biggest areas we could probably use upgrades seems to be almost universally accepted as WR, CB, and edge. It’s hard enough as is to think we will find a premium upgrade for each of these with just the first 3-4 rounds. But it becomes even harder when you factor, as you said, that finding an upgrade at edge becomes much harder outside the first round. Despite this, we still tried to get a weapon. It didn’t work out. But we still seem on course to really have a chance to makes some improvements to this roster.

Not upset as this was a guy I would have been fine with, but the question now or long term will be if we should have done Turner instead. But man, Latu pops on tape, this is also a big need and we can’t really get a pass rush upgrade in later rounds

RIP. Single tear I just shed for the loss of Bowers

Thank god we didn’t have to see the name Marvin Harrison on a Pats jersey xD

I mean… maybe haha. Could be one of the pash rushers or corners too as they are frequently mocked all over the place is the 8-20 range

Nice! I hope they do another after the draft. It’s always fun seeing them discuss the their convictions and their reactions on draft night. As well as getting a first look at the new rookies coming in. Not much to gather from this video but it’s always a little reassuring to see those guys hard at work and I like that they have installed a culture where they really test each other.

Bowers. May not be the most likely choice but it doesn’t seem as unlikely as I once thought it was. The teams that might take him have bigger roster holes than I think we do. They might pass in favor of OT, Edge, CB or whatever. We are the team in that range that I think can best afford to spend a pick on a TE. It just depends on how special these teams think he is. One way or another I love our draft position. We’re gonna land either him, a great DE prospect, Brian Thomas, or a top corner. And I’d be happy with any of those. There is good depth to this draft and I think we can address many of our weaknesses throughout.

Thank you for the selections, I had planned to double up on o-line, so this is perfect.

With the 96th pick Jacksonville selects Mekhi Wingo DL- LSU

Nice pick. Dude just feels like a Steeler tbh
