Poole is solid but Nelson would have been better for what we need. Really wanted AJ Bouye who only went for 3.5 a year.

Really need to get Jurrell Casey and resign Kwon for me to feel more at ease with our D.

I feel the same way. Sign casey and kwon and you sure up 2 spots.

Nelson did give up 7tds and 732yards last year. I'm guessing that's why he went for 4 mil.

Poole is a beast in the slot.

40 targets (32 in slot)
27 Receptions (67.5%)

3 PBUs, 2 INTs
0 TDs allowed
64.7 passer rating when targeted

Only 9 games in 2020 due to shoulder injury.

Poole is actually really good in the slot. He & P-Rob/CGJ have the slot covered, but I'm still unsure of the outside. I guess at this point we are going to rely on Adebo, a rookie 3rd rounder who didn't play last year, I hope he works out but I think that's a lot to ask of him and poor planning on our part.

Still need to re-sign Kwon

Still need to backfill Onyemata & now Thomas, I'd like to see us get Geno Atkins and Larry Fitz. They are aging, and not as good as they once were, but we don't need them to carry the load for 17 games

Doesn't make sense to me why the saints didn't bring him in for a visit.


Yeah, he was the obvious signing and for some reason at that salary, we passed. A bit puzzling given our needs.

Lattimore, Adebo, & PRob are the top 3 at outside CB...as of right now.
