Jordan made 6 mil Bosa made 12 mil Von Miller 6 mil Dante Fowler 6 mil A J Esprenza 6 mil Clowney only making 3.5 mil would be fine with me, I was thinking more likely Cam Jordan.

That's a great idea, fans buy anything that's cool.

Whoever the 6th WR may be. Rome-Burden-Raymond-Walker-Thomas and ? They kept 6 last year. I said they may have a chance, probably the PS. They gave cash to all three, not your normal UDFA. Bennett was a record amount for the bears. 300,000.

I think he might make the practice squad but was more pointing to he has speed. This year he run a 4.63 of which you pointed out he was coming off and injury. He has run a 4.28 previously. You are right, he doesnt have wiggle but if any coach can find some plays for a 4.28 guy, its BJ. I cant wait to see a play with Loveland, Raymond, Rome, Burden with Thomas at RB. That will cause a DC a heart attack. . 4.70-4.34-4.45-4.42-4.28

This is last years rookie sack leaders. Only James Pearce had an impact. Jalon Walker (DT) was second with 5.5. Pearce was drafted 26th, 4 others were 1st round picks. 5 second round and 5 3rd round. Fans want to chase Dexter out of town and he had 6 sacks last year. How would everyone like if we drafted Faulk and he got us 3 sacks?

First time I watched highlights, this dude is a stud. Even if we dont get another pass rusher, our defense is going to be better just because of the speed.

He looks like he has speed to.

This is the Squirrel White, he doesnt look slow to me.

Has Dalman not retired, this looks a lot different. Not only the second but they gave up a 5 th for Bradbury. So in sure with the value of a center with a young QB, they double downed at center. They had no idea who would be available but grabbed the best center that could be all pro. IMO. People keep saying they didn't address their most important need, I disagree. They needed a starting S, they had some assets at DE plus 2 starters. Whether it's enough, we'll find out.

You are right, its more complex than getting one good draft pick. They need to add to the roster with cheap rookie contracts from players than contribute. A move up would have cost them two draft picks ( Elliott and Muhammad) in this case. Those are both potential starters if not next year , the next. I think every draftee plus 3 or 4 UDFA stick and are on the 53 man next year. These last two drafts are very important to sustain winning once Caleb gets 55 mil a year. We have 22 players on the roster from last year. Many are secondary(not guaranteed a spot) but could be future backups. As much as we have concerns about our pass rush, we will be getting injured players back that will contribute and an offense that will take the next step with Caleb and BJ. If we are in the top 3 offenses in the league , we only need a average D to compete. The strong Ds are in the AFC, Denver, Houston and NE. Seattle is the best but otherwise who else scares you? Every year is different but the best teams with defense are Seahawks-NE-Eagles-and Vikings if you consider them a threat.

The second round was the spot they still had the chance to grab a few edge players. When the run started at 35 they would had to move up 15 spots that would have cost them their 89 and something else. There was Zion Young, Derrick Moore and then later Jacas. Someone asked Poles and he said Zion Young was to expensive to move up. I think they thought they could still take Jacas when NF moved of which was to late to do anything. Took Jones, someone they valued and get two picks out of the 60 trade, Sam Roush and Zavion Thomas. They looked to take volume players to the edge. Some fans are complaining that they traded for Bradbury and then took Jones. They didnt know they could get Jones so they doubled down. In a few years we will see a pro bowl Center and a high powered offense that includes Roush and Thomas. I understand their choices.

I dont mind an older center prospect because of the value he gives to Caleb. With the NIL money, we are going to continue to see older players drafted. He has 4 years of starting experience and was there for 2 years with Linderbaum. Jones was a DT and Tyler recommended Logan to the coach.

I think they could add an edge rusher but not one that has a big cap charge. 6-8 mil? Who could they get for that on a one year deal?

Poles mentioned trading up in the second for a DE and mentioned Zion Young that was going to cost to much . I think targeting specific edge rushers that fit what you want to do is difficult so they stick to their board and grab someone that can help in another area. I think they would have drafted Jacas but NE moved up. They read the board right because he would have been there. They didnt get him and took Jones which I think would have been the pick at 60. People complain to move up at any cost to get a need but then you dont fill other needs. Players like Howell, Thomas and Josephs didnt fit which thy wanted. Fans and pundits say draft anyways. Every pick had its purpose. The biggest complaint was taking Roush and Zavion Thomas. Those were BJ wants. I think maybe with other teams they might have been a luxury pick but with BJ they are weapons . I trust BJ. This is just another opinion but he overwhelming liked the draft.

Another point that BJ brought up on a press conference was that the new coaches needed to acclimate themselves to what BJ and DA wanted to do. That in the second year they will be able to execute the offense and defense better. Not any different from a player learning the system. Here is a podcast, I watch a lot of them , that explains the consensus and team boards. If you dont want to watch the whole podcast, the post by Bucky Brooks is at 5:00 minutes. He makes some good points.
