With the way we have been attacking edge this offseason or at least trying too wouldn’t shock me if we go edge in round 1 this year… was thinking OL but going edge they should be in the rotation and could at least have some type of impact.

OL or DL this year. QB maybe next year

Well it's not 5 2nd rd picks GB but the best I could do for you lol

I do see us possibly drafting 2 Edge rusher if we don't add more in a trade.

Sounding like we might be looking at Michael Carter II as competition at S…. He did play safety in college before being moved to nickel CB by the jets

Saying AJ won’t be traded at this time talks might pick up again after June 1st…. So no extra draft picks for 2026 from AJ for the mock drafters

Sounding like Geodart will be back next season as well both sides have decided to push back his void year deadline to Monday now. Already pushed it back once to today.

Sounds like they are just trying to get a contract that works for both sides.

Then again Hurts already can't see over the line lol

I had him in a few mocks,just depends who is available where we pick. Why I said before we need 5 round 2 picks LOL. If we don't add Lanes replacement in this draft it would be very surprising from a "Howie" standpoint. He filled out the secondary that year because the trenches were pretty well set. Looks like CB is fixed at least for this year

IDK that he leaves post June either then, because as the draft is already past, you are scrambling around for another FA WR that you're going to have to pay big bucks out to, which defeats the purpose. IDK any top flight WR's close to AJ that can be had for much less than you are paying AJ. besides it will technically be a "contract year" for AJ if he still wants out after 2026. Once again this whole shebang hinges on Hurts and the new OC

I took CB off the table, not that I don't want one, but Woolen fills that hole. I suppose we add a cheap vet BU. Kicks the need for CB2 down the road a year.. Getting Stowers will be tricky, probably need a move up in 2. but I just don't see Howie putting off an OT first. Been kicking that can down the road too long. I like Singleton the RB from PSU to replace Ship who has shown me nothing. In the above mock I wouldn't be mad if we took another WR or another edge after round 3. Lots of moving part this year. Depends who pounds the table the hardest Mannion or Fangio. I suspect Mannion wins that battle since it's Vic's last year anyhow. I think Howie got Woolen and that could be one of the reasons. Howie very high intellect dude. Keeping Woolen, DeJean and Q intact as a unit is another matter

Yeah I'm still drafting Stowers if it was up to me. Could be a bid war for him though. I think he fits us better than Sadiq anyway

OT-today not a good day. "Pain let's you know you're still alive" I must really be living it up LOL

Howie has been firm on his asking price for AJ I’d image it will just come down to if a team is willing to offer that amount. Considering reports said it was a 1st and 3rd we turned down from NE.

My guess we want a minimum of a 1st and 2nd rounder in 2027 with a player( or a conditional pick in 2028).

WR room takes a hit but you adding a lot of value for the future.

If 2027 draft class is as strong and deep as some early reports I’ve heard stocking up on picks for that year would make a ton of sense.

Especially if we opt not to extend Hurts and trade him next offseason as well…. Will be in the market for a new QB

I think we draft a TE I’m between Stowers and Roush though two completely different style of TEs but think either could fit as well. Just comes down to what the new OC prefers.

Stowers- 6’4 240 would have a more natural role year 1 if we bring back Geodart being that receiving TE in the 2/3 TE sets not really that inline guy.

Roush- 6’6 270 the plug and play inline TE could even allow us to free up Geodart more to be a receiver especially considering Geodarts blocking was noticeably worse last year.

If he goes, it gives Hurts an excuse. I want him to stay as a test for Hurts, not AJ. it's put up or shut up for him now. Another side deal and Hurts is done

Stowers in 2026. ASG's grandson in 2027

If he goes... it's because of Hurts. So it puts more pressure on Hurts.

The Patullo excuse is out the window...so why would he want out... Hurts.

You choose Hurts over AJ...then Hurts has to deliver

Yeah,in a bit of a bind here. At least this year. If AJ goes after June we really have nobody to replace him. Draft is in the rear view mirror. I assume we will draft a WR at some point, so my choice later covers that a little. Lance is a big possession guy,but he's plenty fast. If AJ stays,he can get work in the slot with Cooper for now. If AJ goes he would be thrown into the fire outside,but at least we'd have someone. Rookies come out much more NFL ready now. Hurts needs to earn his pay. If he is alienating his players and taking it easy, he's no leader. Smitty and AJ are 2 different personalities and you can't treat them alike. Hurts being carried on offense is not a good look

Could actually be a reason to trade AJ. Hurts has to perform without him(maybe Goedert too although Howie is trying to retain him). If we go .500 we get a higher pick in 2027 and there are a few nice QB's in that draft. So decently high pick of our own coupled with an added 1 for the AJ trade gives us a shot at a top QB like we did with Wentz. All new staff is going to have growing pains. Interesting stuff

You are assuming too much. Let's see what happens. Maybe a WR is part of the deal? Who knows. I wouldn’t worry about that.

The simple thing is AJ would leave due to Hurts. So Hurts would need to show he is an elite QB that can win without an AJ.

Like how he did his first year as a starter?

Which good team did they beat in 2021?

How was his passing?

What was the " standard" compared to now?

Was Hurts supposed to be top 15 QB like a lot of people think he is now?

What is the standard for you now that you think he is elite and the team is in a SB window?

If without AJ he is OK...and the team slips with it's record and offense..then the person to blame for losing AJ and taking the step back is most likely going to be replaced.

So Howell signed with Dullaz meaning McKee should be here another year. If this team falters will be interesting to see if he gets some playing time with the 1's and if we extend his contract
