Don't be a pussy and build your team!

Antonio Brown just signed a 4yr/64 mil extension. At 17 mil a year, that totally blows franchising Alshon, as we would be the laughing stock of the league to give a penny more. Brown is also much more productive and reliable. The 13 mil/yr previously mentioned, sounds about right. Knowing what the staff knows can only drive it down.

I tend to agree with Jason on Long, but a little analysis could change me. If I knew the improvement at LT would improve greater than the loss of greatness at RG, I would consider it. Looking at available talent, Whitehair could fill the RG role without anyone saying we need help at that position. But, how much of a drop would he be? Now we have an open C position. Grasu was drafted in the 3rd to be that guy. Is he healthy and strong enough to be the guy we need him to be? Does he fit what Fox the needs within the blocking philosophy, since he wasn't drafted for the current system? After that, what is his drop off from Whitehair? Lastly, and where Jason and I may disagree, is continuity. Since this unit has been together for a couple of years, will it change their growth curve in continuity if positions are switched? If they can retain some of their cohesion, there's little doubt there is more physical talent on the field. It could possibly give Jason a superior talent pool while giving the continuity I like, but there are sooo many questions that he and I have no answers for.(player desire, real health, ability and adaptability)

Replace that with Trubisky at 3 and I like it. Picks 2, 3 and 4 are of very good value in a draft that is very deep in those positions and are glaring needs. Also love the solid vets added in the defensive secondary. Existing DB's better improve or adios amigos!

A Cutler clone...

I'm in stay put / stay quiet mode if I'm Pace during this time. Until they know if they like one of the QB's, nothing should be done with picks. What I would work on diligently is trying to get something for Cutler and bringing Alshon's status to an agreed upon resolution. If QB at 3 is off the table. I wouldn't mind stockpiling 2nd and 3rd round picks, even at the expense of our 1st. This draft is deep as hell with some of the things we need, so trading out could be a bonanza.

Well, I guess Alaska won't need that Viagra after all.

Greatest ever....

Yes

Does anyone hate that SMC is in this game?

35-31 Pats

Agreed

But that's why the NFLPA can target them. Unions can boycott whatever they want.

From what I read the Mccaskeys are behind the push for the legislation.

You are correct on all accounts. If we genuine interest, no-one would know...

Agree

Side note: I hate the Allen pick. I don't think he goes top 8.

Berry/Trubisky

He got screwed. I remember. Up until the point I felt he gave up.

With the list you provided, I think the DB's would definately benefit. Not so sure with Switzer and Trubisky. Switzer will be running a completely different set of routes in the NFL. A better comparison would be with Watson and Williams, as Williams would run similar routes into single coverage.

Lucky, I'm usually in your corner, but not this time. 32 of 32 GM's would love to have that situation. If you have a guy that good, they are also trade able. Plus, we don't even know if our guy is that good yet. I don't think Allen is the answer at 3 either.

Crack of the month! Lol...

Since we are drafting BPA, I would like to select Hooker.

I could only imagine you railing me off the board had I said Bears...
