Do any of you guys like Hip Hop? Actually, let me be more specific. Do any of you like old-school, mid-nineties east coast type Hip Hop? When I’m not masterfully posting gifs here, I make music. Today I released my first full-length instrumental album (only the last song has vocals).

Let me know if any of you are interested.

It’s a deep OL class, but there aren’t any blue chip type prospects. The top 3 OTs all have significant weaknesses. And I only see 1 interior OL getting drafted in the first.

That said, there will be a LOT of OTs in the second and third rounds though.

Doesn't mean the top prospects won't still go early.  Could be to our advantage.

How many teams in the NFL run a scheme comparable to what we did last year?

Narrow it down to internal candidates plus the select few for that fit.  I guarantee you Lowie would not (and should not) want to make a change with that.  Perhaps some external candidates would be willing to adapt to it, but no one is in the mood for a year with adjustment pains.

I'd go all in on the racist rule and exclusively hire minority candidates for the coordinator jobs.  

 

I don't know why we would need to keep the same scheme.  The personnel will be almost fully revamped compared to what we had last season anyway.

After Sirianni’s comments I have a hard time believing they have legitimate interest in Joseph.

The 2 best building blocks on the defense are Reddick and Sweat.  Reddick is a stand up rusher and Sweat is a 4-3 DE prototype.  
 

That’s a unique fit.

And hopefully Davis can start playing more than 15 snaps a game.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I’m waiting to reserve judgment on what to do with T and G in the draft until Kelce makes a decision and they decide on Seumalo. 

I strongly suspect they have decided on Seumalo weeks ago.

Once upon a time I really liked Illmatic by NAS, but my musical tastebuds seem to have gone on permanent sabbatical.

I think they will draft a RB and sign one. Don't think they're going to go into the season with Scott, Gainwell, Rookie. For one, because Scott is also a FA. Two, in case the rookie sucks, you want stability at RB better than Gainwell and Scott. Hunt/Williams, Gainwell, rookie seems like a solid RB trio.

I think Scott might have shown enough here to get a decent contract in FA, relative to expectations. 

If anything, NYG should throw a couple million his way per year to not play against him.

Kinda screams 4-3 under doesnt it?

Just saw a 3 round mock. 

Murphy-meh

Cam Smith- value at 30

Clancy- I'll roll the dice in his size in round 2. He'll yeah!

Bigsby- I just pitched a tent

 

 

Started a little underwhelming and just kept getting better. Id be happy.

When you look at the FA market at RB you have the following:

Saquon, Jacobs, Pollard, Sanders, Montgomery, Hunt, J. Williams, Singletary, D. Harris, J. Wilson

The supply is going to far outweigh the demand and some of these guys are going to be cheaper than expected and two or three of them could end up being dirt cheap on a one year deal. I've never been a huge fan of Sanders and all of his past weaknesses came back in spades in the SB. I wouldn't even consider bringing him back unless it was on a 1 year deal for 3 million or less. Some team will probably be dumb enough to give him a better deal.

The threat of Hurts running and the Eagles OL makes RB's look really good in this system and there is simply no need to spend any legit money on a RB. Rookie drafted in round 2 or 3, Gainwell, and Scott is more than enough at the position.

Edit

Just took a look at spotrac and you also have intriguing options like Alexander Mattison, D'onta Foreman, and James Robinson another year removed from his achilles injury. Also, Spotrac has the market value of Sanders, Hunt, Montgomery, and Harris at 7 million per on two or three year deals which is crazy to me. With the depth at the position I don't see any way all of them cash in like that, in addition to Saquon, Jacobs, and Pollard.

Skoronski, Jones and Johnson are going high. Too many teams with bad OL rosters. The top half of the first round also isn't great. There aren't enough good players to push them down.

Sadly, this is a poor 1st round class. There just aren't many blue-chippers.

The RB FA class is loaded and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.  Do they all sign mega deals on day 1 or does FA play out a little bit as teams are hesitant to invest a lot of cash in RB and it takes a while to set the salary bar?

I think you might see a surprise or two as well like a team trading an established RB and signing a different one.  I look at a guy like Najee Harris.  For as "good" as he is, he's already close to 600 carries through 2 years and doesn't even average 4 ypc..  Even with his receiving stats, he still only averages 4.2 ypc. Would the Steelers look at a guy like Miles Sanders (I think he's just a PA guy) and then trade Harris for what they can?

For this team, I'm sticking with Jamaal Williams on a 2-year deal to go along with a draft pick and KG.

I expect Broderick to go top 10. After that, the other two probably 10-20.

It certainly could be to our advantage, but I’m not a fan of this OL class. Like I said in a later post, the prospects all seem like niche talents. Usually top 20 OTs have prototypical tools, and first round interior lineman are near unicorn type players.

Just a matter of taste I guess, but most of the guys seem to have too many flaws for my liking.

Agreed. They’ll get overdrafted (at least relevant to average years) and I don’t think we should be making that play.

I think we could see DL, CBs, and QBs push the OL down though. There’s a bunch of DL who could conceivably go top 10-15, 2 or 3 CBs, and then the elephant in the room as many as 4 QBs could go top 10-15. I also kind of expect Bijan Robinson to go top 15 as well simply because this is a weak first round and he is a true blue chipper.

We should trade down if possible. I really like the depth of this class at CB and along the DL. Bunch of RBs I like as well. Some interesting WRs in the 2nd and 3rd should be available.
