There are a ton of mocks on this subject. The one that sounds the most logical is Houston trades # 2- A second rounder and a first next year. That seems steep but there is other teams bidding for that spot that makes it cost more. Then with one QB gone, it makes # 2 more valuable .

If Poles can replace him with a younger player at about the same cost, he may go for it, so the line can grow together with the young guys. Patrick had a bad year but probably shouldn't count him out quite yet, he had something going for him for Poles to get him to begin with. Poles set it up to cut him for 500 k dead money if he didn't work out. But I suspect he brings guys in to compete and picks he best 5.

That's good news, if he works hard, he will end up an All Pro.

We will have to slightly over pay to get a few targeted players Poles goes after but we have the money to do that. Payne will be lots of teams target so we will have to bid to get him. Poles will have a plan B if Payne falls through.

If we can get Anderson or Carter and move back a few slots, it's a win win. A 4th pick, and 2 second rounds picks, we will have a Edge, DT and WR. Lots of people have us picking LBers, CBs, and RBs with our high picks. All you have to do is listen to Poles speak. He's going to attack both lines first, as he should. Even at a BPA scenario, the strength of the draft are where we need to pick. Other than 2 OTs, the majority of OTs fall to middle rounds. Poles will find a player there.

Anderson had 10 sacks last year and17 TFL. I just seen someone post he had 65 pressures to go along with those numbers. That's an amazing stat.

Like that draft 3 OL and 3 DL

Tis is a future post in January.

I have been thinking Anderson all the way but , I read somewhere that there are only a few blue chip DTs but several edge players. You take Carter and could still get a Tuipukitu or Anudike-Uzormah with the second pick. Someone brought up Taliban Kancey as an option. Highly productive but at 6'and 280 is awful small. Aaron McDonald is very rare.

I read where he was averaging. 2.5 pressures per game the first half of the season and In the second half, 1 pressure a game. He got better.

I've watched Wright from Tennessee play several times and would be a perfect RT. I think he would start day one. May be able to get him in the second round.,

I think (Poles) either keeps Monty or drafts a mid round RB( maybe both). Several good ones in free agency but thinks he spends the big contracts in the trenches.

This group of WRs doesn't seem to be as strong as the last couple of years. Not sure any are a true# 1. Having said that I like JS-N and think he may be the best of the group. Only way we get him is in a trade back extra pick in top 40.

Pretty much agree with all you stated. We will know more by who he resigns back on the team. I think other than a rookie WR that our wrist set. Claypool-Mooney- V Jones- ESB- rookie and brings back Pringle or Harry. If he brings back Morrow and Adams, then he will probably add a couple draft picks to the LB room with Sanborn. There are several good ones from 40-80 range ( Sanders, To o To o, Sewell, Campbell but it may be late rounds. If we stay in the top 10 , BPA will be a DT or edge rusher. Our next pick could be anything but there are some edge rushers around there to. I think he attacks the OL in free agency plus one DT. Then drafts the hell out of DL in the early draft.

I'm not sure if it will matter but Jenkins just got married. It seems most of his problems come from inmaturity . Maybe he grows up a little. He's a stud when he plays, but his brain makes chaos for him. I think Poles drafts a third round versatile offensive lineman that can fill in if someone fails or beat him out of a job. Cunningham came from Philly and what does the Eagles have? Good OL and DL. That's where the money will be spent. That's what successful teams have, then you fill in the wow players.

I agree if they move on from Whitehair. Get Ben Powers probably cheaper than keeping Whitehair.

Since he's been with the Bears, he as only been tried at the LT spot. Jenkins was put several spots, Patrick was moved around but I think Poles will stick with him there. I think that is exactly what Poles will do. One DL and a RT. I also think he will add a OC. There are several out there and they come at a cheaper value. Remember last year, the first day in FA he offered Brian Allen a higher contract than LA did. 2 OL that is here for2023 is J Carter and Kellen Diesch that may be inline to be depth this year.

I think he knows this off-season is the best situation a GM could ever had and wants to be a part of it. If it works out Poles will be giving him credit to. He will have more job options next year with lots of job credits. Another thing is , he played at Virgina and worked in Baltimore and Philadelphia. He might just be a Northeastern man that wants to stay in that area. He'll wait for a job there.

That's great news, there is always a few quality players released because of salary every year. If Washington franchises him, if they remove the tag, he is automatically a free agent. He can go anywhere. I suspect they make him an offer and hope he comes back even if Payne gets a better offer. Most ego ridden athletes want be the man and he will always be behind Allen in Washington. Here he would be the man.

With Ian being here next year, when he leaves we get two 3rd round picks for having a diversity hire. That's starters in Poles draft capital. This year Velus sucked but next year he will surprise everyone.

There are a lot of smart people that thinks he's the bomb. Not a lot of DLs but lots of edge players in this draft. If we get Payne definitely have to get Anderson.

I like all the names Wright will be a day one starter. Don't see Poles trading for Adams, older player with big contract. If we get a player back, try Waller or Crosby. At least there younger.

I believe Poles can find talent in later rounds for depth. I think he drafts in the 3rd round a versatile OL than can fill in several spots if one of his choices fail. Otherwise later rounds will add depth.
