The draft - Ladypanther - 03-10-2025
So...not even the official start of free agency and looks like Morgan is really setting us up for the draft.
Is he setting us up to take Walker at 8
or....trading back
or...giving Canales that TE he really likes?
...or...what else????

Plenty of options now lp. BPA is always a good choice. See who falls.
RE: The draft - Hobbit99 - 03-11-2025
I've been saying this for awhile. Well, commenting this actually, not predicting. Still, there has been a LOT of action today with a LOT of teams moving away from high $$ players.
Example: In addition to the DT we got from the Rams (Bobby Brown III), the Rams have also shed the contract of Cooper Kupp. The fans out there are floored -- and mostly silent.!! Of course, it's not set in stone yet, but the word is they couldn't find a trade partner that would take on the contract.... So, it looks like an outright release.!!
The point is, there have been a bunch of players like this who have worn out their welcome in one spot only to move to another spot where they will once again attempt to carry their burgeoning salaries in their private armored car.
I believe there will be several teams that would be interested in moving up to #8. Whether Dan will be interested is another matter. I suspect he will be, so I THINK we will trade back. The offer will probably be back to 15-22 ... somewhere in that range. The right offer would probably be for a 2nd, and depending on where the 2nd lands, maybe an additional 3rd or 4th. As a point of interest, trading back twice is not out of the question. Maybe back to say #14, and then another trade back to maybe #22.
I know it's a lot to wrap your mind around, but stranger things have happened.
I think we have the TE room we want right now. MAYBE we add another one late...maybe.?? But no way we draft TE in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I really think we stand pat on TEs until late in the 5th or 7th. Remember Dan and Dave got their TE last year with Ja'Tavion Sanders. I can't see a reason to draft another one right now. We also have at least four or five more. I just checked... We currently have six (6) TEs on the roster.
Do we really need another one.??
Oh... I wouldn't be mad about Walker either. I just think that there is enough talent in the Draft in the "trenches", that it would be a great time to gather some... JIC... you know.

I am all-in on what he is doing so far and thought the same thing yesterday concerning the Draft. It looks like Dan is trying to sure up all loose ends with players who have had a chance to prove themselves, and that will leave more options open come Draft Day.

It is definitely less predictable as to what exactly we are going to do. I still say we need a star LB. I feel that a defense without a star LB really suffers from that versatility.
RE: The draft - Ladypanther - 03-11-2025
I agree about the LB...I am intrigued by Walker but like everything else there are varying opinions.
With the deep DL prospects...can't pass that up. With the release of Miles Sanders I think we will look at a day 3 RB.
I would like to see a trade back in round 1 (unless someone you can't pass on falls) to get an earlier 2nd round pick.
Dan has set us up to not have to reach for a player.....a good place to be.

U guys are spot on. Just need great/the right players. Need 2 years.. Grest draft could get us close to the south title. MHO
RE: The draft - OceanPanther - 03-12-2025
Sorry I've been away from ye ole computer for a while ... But yesterday was awesome.. So many needs filled if they pan out.
Best player available.. or trade back .. ?
I'm hoping we still do something at LB or DE with the 8th pick.. Trade back is nice... if we get extra picks.. and we don't draft someone that has an injury ( Brooks. ) I think that was a lesson learned.

I hope you are right. Think you probably are.
I am hoping for a trade back if we can. Provided the board still looks good. Otherwise it is a long time until our 2nd pick.
