Here's a complete look at the off season and will say I agree with some and not with others moves. I'll post my view after I study the draft more but this is a first look at the off season.

If you claim him off waivers you bring his contract where as if you sign him as a free agent, new contract. . None of his contract is guaranteed going forward. Cheap opportunity.

That's a common sense idea but with Geno Smith getting paid a lot of money with no out until 27, he probably sets for a year limiting the advantage of bringing in Thuney. Plus I see no way BJ is disturbing our OL after just getting a good one.

Doubt that happens this year but with the connections, very possible for next year. I didn't realize he was 27. Al Harris can change his luck around.

We do agree on stuff sometimes.

QBs come and go and every once in a while, an Aaron Rodgers pops up. We now could have that next great one playing in our house. Thank you Ryan Poles for Caleb and BJ, I think we won the lottery.

From the Raiders point of view, Thuney probably has 2 yrs left , why would Raiders want a high salary player when it's at least 2 yrs away from being respectable? I think any rebuilding team will want draft picks. I also thing we are at the beginning of a high powered offense and I don't think BJ is giving away offense assets to disrupt the flow of what he's built. The best OL we have, Thuney? Any weapons? Injuries this yr shows you need more than 3 Wrs and I TE. Zacchus and Devin will be gone next year.

Like Mongo said, being home is the key. West coast teams coming here would be an advantage to us. Out of our control anyways.

Thanks

Hicks is a great example that all players don't develop immediately. He bounced around two teams until he landed here and finally found his game. A lot people get down on a player if he don't look good his first couple of years. Some just take longer and we have several on this team. Dexter hasn't been bad but isn't a star of which some people expected. He works hard and it may be next year before he stands out. Edwards was a UDFA and worked his way to a starring job in Philly. Has been a very consistent player since coming here.

I think something great than no one talks about is he's never missed a game to Injuries. That's unique in this NFL these days.

If not this year but next year. With 11 wins and playoff bound, plenty other things to talk about.

I think Laporte getting injured hurt them a lot. A few OL are different this year but BJ being gone is a big hit.

Who would you prefer to face in the first game? GB, SF or LA? IMO the Packers are the weakest of those three. LA lost to Atlanta last night and looked beatable. I least would want to face SF that's running hot right now.

The way both them coaches are risk takers and competitive, no way either relax in this game.

Wait until Caleb hits his stride, 200 yards more for each player.

Billings has fallen off but not due to effort. I seen him several times 30 yards down field chasing players.

I agree with your ranking but I don't think a offense on the rise will want to get rid of any weapons. I think DJ and Kmet are here one more year. Look at injuries with the Wrs and even TE, we needed all of them. Poles will restructure money and figure something out with a pass rusher. Imagine the same situation this year without DJ when Burden and Rome out. It would disable us.

The other high picks were put into first back roles. Easley could have his 1000 rushing but adds great value as a 2 headed monster. Probably the best value pick in this draft. In a redraft I think he would be a 2nd round pick IMO.

He has been solid with his first and second round picks it seems like the third rounders is his boogyman. He also has hit on late rounds. Not all rookies develop at the same timeline. Several other picks could turn into starters.

Their is bo easy path to the SB but just hope we have as many home games as possible.

The 4000 pedestal is like the 1000 pedistal for RBs. It sounds good but isn't really any big deal anymore. I think the TD to intercept is a better indicator of a good QB. I think Caleb is 24-6? I guessed at that so that may not be right.

Agree, that's what Jarrett was supposed to be but obviously hasn't worked out. Booker, Sweat and inside pressure will create a descent outcome.

I think it's wide open between LA, Philly, SF, Seattle and then us. Do not count out the Eagles. SF now has home field thru the SB if they keep winning.

This game obviously shows we need a pass rusher if not 2. Poles will attack it just like he did the OL this year. I have faith he manages the money and drafts the DL. He will find a way to bring in a stud but I still don't think he getting rid of any offensive weapons. As the injuries show, we need depth and that's why I think DJ or Kmet won't be leaving in 26. I don't care who he deals on defense if it makes the D better.
