Delane not working out at the combine is a major red flag for a guy who needs to show he isn't a negative athlete

Either draft a WR or the best pass rusher available


This is the way. One of the edge guys or Styles and if all of them are gone, get Tate.


Carnell tate is not a guy I'm drafting at 8. I'd rather take love if he is there.

The saints obviously really like love. He probably won't be there at 8.

Personally I sign (2) Gs as my priority.
1) Fortner I don't let out of the building, he earned a bigger pay day but I also do not think it would be outlandish. 3yr/$20M with $15M guaranteed.
2) David Edwards would be great but I don't know if we will pay him the expected $20M/yr. So we may need to drop to the next tier that should likely be somewhere between $9M/yr-$16M/yr including Connor Mcgover, Alijah Vera-Tucker, Zion Johnson, Isaac Seumalo, Wyatt Teller, Ed Ingram


I'm very interested to see what alijah vera-tucker gets. Seems like a kellen moore guard to me. Only problem is his injury history.

If the price is right I plug him in at rg. He has played really well in the past. First round pedigree. For the rigjt number I'm all over him. Still young enough too.

John Schneider is such a good gm.

He always has a price for a player and if he doesn't think they are worth his number he let's them walk.

Most teams would sign walker back for 13 a yr coming off a super bowl. If it was me I probably would. That team is built with running the ball and defense. He drafts well so he will find a replacement.

And Teven Jenkins. Graded very high last year but wasn’t a Browns listed starter. Former tackle convert that plays mostly left guard.


I wanted to sign teven Jenkins last yr.

And he only signed for like 2.25 I think.

He will be fine running at lsu's pro day.

I don't know if he will fly but I've never heard the negative athlete talk.

He is a very smart/technical corner. To me delane seems like the type of corner that usually comes off the board around 15-22. He shut everyone down at lsu after having some good Years at Virginia tech.

If he runs in the 4.4s at lsu's pro day he is fine.

I’m mostly saying positional value for a CB is increasing at a rate that ~10 makes sense

Especially if those are the teams that would be vying for hide services. I’d get it trying to go to some of the top/established teams in the league, but not Chicago, NYJ, Cincy or Atl. He’d just as likely miss the playoffs these next 2 years with any of those teams.

You want to spend half our cap space on a 37 year old Linebacker?

Yeah I’m going one year deals only for Demario and Cam. I doubt Demario takes that so agree to part ways cordially.

Can’t be afraid to move on in this business as evidenced by Seattle allowing the damn Super Bowl mvp to move on with his back until recovering from a major knee injury. Trust your scouting and move forward.

umm do you know how deals are structured in the NFL?

Do you not know that signing Demario gains cap space??

Asante Samuels signed back with the Steelers. There was some talk about him taking the Alonte role.

What are you talking about? Chicago has a really young team full of talent and were just the #2 seed lol. He’s the exact type of guy they need. Plus he knows Allen very well.

Cincy has Burrow and almost won the superbowl not long ago. They need defensive players, which is the only thing holding them back….
