Logan Wilson: Starting MLB in 2026?

If you get a chance, watch the Oregon Safety. He is no Caleb Downs, but he is a real good, versatile safety prospect.

Been saying, edge’s have a steep, developmental curve, need a bridge starter while they develop.
Hendrickson would make some sense if you could sign him 2-3 years. He’s getting up there but still a nice pass rusher. And if we win out I think signing an older vet gets easier. Everyone wants a ring
 
Gonna be tough to draft one with the picks we have. Don’t see a LB in first
Maybe drake one of the firsts back and take one in the second? If we can resign Pickens and Williams at RB, the O is pretty much set…..so one first can go to top D need, trade the second and pick up a LB in second and whatever with the other pick we get in the trade?

We don’t have a 2nd or 3rd round pick in next draft, wonder if they use the Cheesehead pick to move down for more picks.
 
He will be 30 before the start of the 2026 season.
- Speed is a question mark at this point.
- Salary for 2026 is 6M.

Other options:
Quay Walker not tendered 5th year option by GB because they don't want to pay him 14M per.
- He has missed the past 2 games with a injury issue "stinger".
- Age 25

Quincy Williams will be 30 before next season.

No. We need to draft the highest rated can’t miss linebacker in this draft. No matter the cost in draft capital

That’s what I meant…trade one of them for a second and late 3rd or 4th….get a LB with the second? Depends on who we can resign, have several good players here on 1yr deals that have played well and we could use back.
 
We have two first rounders. I assume one will be our future linebacker.
We need four new defenders next year and have limited picks.

He’s struggling. The reason they didn’t trade him at the deadline isn’t because they want to keep him it’s because he’s playing poorly and is injured, They may have to put him on IR and he’s going to need surgery in the off season.

I wouldn’t bring him in at all unless it was really cheap. He may be about to go off a cliff
 
I prefer a free agent and use the 1st round picks the positions that are more expensive in free agency.
- Also don't want to depend on a rookie MLB.
- I like rookie edge because they are in a rotation which gives them more time to learn as they go during the season.

Quincy Williams is a smallish, soon to be 30 year old LB. Is that any better than Logan Wilson?

If Quay Walker does not get re-signed before free agency starts, I would over-pay to get him.
Are we resigning Pick and Clark - if so will we have the cap space.

You are gonna have some holes. No team is flawless.

Clark is under contract for 20m already

Pickens will cost over $30m. Maybe over $35

We won’t know what we can do until after we restructure Dak and CeeDee for starters with a couple more likely
 
It’s going to take something like this. We just don’t have the draft juice to fill all our holes unless we trade some of the 2027 picks.

Issue with free agency is that if we want Pickens as a FA, and can’t get an actual extension, the tag is going to destroy our free agent options
Gotta sign Pickens, Williams, Davis and Clark

Then get starting caliber MLB and FS

then DE and CB in rd 1

If he has off season surgery then be a perfect one year prove it signing. At his age I wouldn’t want a long deal anyway. One year deals bring out the best in players
 
Maybe drake one of the firsts back and take one in the second? If we can resign Pickens and Williams at RB, the O is pretty much set…..so one first can go to top D need, trade the second and pick up a LB in second and whatever with the other pick we get in the trade?
I would be surprised if we pick twice in first. Jerry has always like quantity or quality. I fully expect a trade, maybe a trade down multiple times
