Thanks for your support!
Jones gonna cost you 21m per for 3 with 1 funny money year. I would sacrifice Greenard for Jones because Jones effects the qb from right in front of the qb. You can get Greenard for 15-18m per. They can do that, it's just in the structure.
What do you pay a edge player to do? You pay him to put the qb on the the ground, correct? Allen has had 28 sacks in his rookie and his last year and 17 sacks in the other 3 seasons. What are we doing with that?
Again your focus and mine are different. An edge does not have to put a quarterback on the ground to be successful. Even sacks while a great measure, are not the only thing. We want the passer to be disrupted so the pass does not hurt us. Alan was one of three Edge Defenders that had over 1,000 snaps and one of five who dropped back in coverage 100 times in career.
I would bring back Schultz, but try to sign a guy like Fant who are good blocking TE's to pair with Schultz. Stroud and Schultz seemed to have good chemistry.
I'm drafting Braswell in the 2nd rd and using that money to sign Williams or Wilkins. I dont think Jones is realistic. I'm also bringing back Barnett and Sanders. I'm betting Barnett/Braswell together can give you what Greenard did maybe even more lining up next to a beast like Wilkins or Williams.
No
I have been surprised at the number of folks I have seen off this board who think Schultz should not be brought back. I have him on a 3-year 30 million package with 9 million signing bonus and no other guaranteed money. His blocking was ranked at 60 plus or better for five straight years and as a 28-year-old PFF was 72.8%. I no longer have the link but I did read that of his targets he caught 70% which is extremely valuable to our quarterback. Averaging a first town every catch at 70% accuracy is really, really good.
Braswell from Alabama is very likely and Dorlus with his stats and passes defended round three would be good. Collins this season and what we know about Tank and his recovery for 2024 suggests that a move for Brenden Rice in round 4 would leave us able to pick a excellent cornerback in round 1. I still see Jones as a very likely free agent for us.
Can you show me a high paid edge rusher who don't get sacks? The mere fact you can put the qb on the ground is the metric in which these guys are paid and drafted. It's one of the reasons Clowney bounces from team to team. He's disruptive, physical vs the run, and gets pressure,but guess what he doesn't do what Khalil Mack, Garrett, Watt, Hunter,Crosby,and Hendrickson can do? Get the qb on the ground. It's tangible and nobody has to cone up with analytics to explain it. If you're paying a guy 17m plus in a 17 game season, you're expecting 12-16 sacks every year. Again, I like Allen, but the same production numbers are questionable like it seems with Greenard.
Sanders is under contract. They claimed him off waivers. Who is Williams you speak of? Why you think Jones is unrealistic?
Rice was in struggle street today at the senior bowl
I wouldn't spend 15m on medicre minus upside at te. I'd rather take Fant for 7m and draft Sanders. Play Jordan as the h-back. They're never going to be a full tilt running team. They need to be good enough to run a 4 minute offense when winning late. They were 23rd this year even with the injuries and the waste of time with Pierce. They need to be able to run for 125 ypg which makes them top 15
I dont think Rice makes it out of rd 3. I've got him as a late 2 early 3. He's going to put on a show at the combine/Sr. Bowl.
Leonard Williams DT NYG/Sea.
Salary cap is going to be well over $300M by the time is contract is over. Texans have never had that kind of money to play with
Id be ecstatic with signing Barkley or Jacobs.
I would rather spend the FA money on the defense and draft offense. Although there's a case to be made to add a LB/CB/S/edge through the draft and add a RB/WR in FA.
The RB
I just don't think we're limited to that choice. I think at least three excellent defensive players and at least two offensive players if not three can be brought on under the salary cap in free agency.
You can do this , but it will be at the expense of not having quality depth pieces.
Tricky Nick will fartnagle a deal or two.
Im out on Henry. Not a back with great vision or patience...more of a bruiser back that needs downhill momentum to be truly effective and the titans have run the hell out of him...how much tread is left on those tires???
I don't know, enough tread to end up with 12 TDs and 1200 yards less than a month ago?
Nah - I think teams may be leary of his regression this year for whatever reason.
I would go cheap at RB. Edwards- Helaire and either McKinnon or Motor. Then after watching today's Sr. Bowl game Bailey really impressed me.
I would take a 6th for Pierce and trade the 6th and a couple of 7ths to move up into the 5th.
This is not accurate. He is a patient runner,then he comes downhill. They had the worse ol in football and he still had a good year. He still break off runs too.
C'mon, you must be kidding
Or blind
How often does he break those runs off now??? Is it at the rate of...say 2 yrs ago?? Nope. And how come you give him the credit of not having a good Oline when our Oline was in tatters all years and held together with ducktape and bandaids and yet yall criticize DP about not being good and fitting our system...
I said the exact same thing and even used the Julio Jones as an example!!!

Julio and Aj were injury prone. Henry has proven to be durable
AJ had 1100 yds in 3 seasons before he left Cincy. Julio had 700 yds and missed 6 games. Tell me how this relates to Henry?
