3. The only reason why Mingo is on the 53 is so Jerry doesn't have to admit it was a bad trade

Not true at all.
Mingo has had a very good TC and PS games.
Just as good at Brown had. Plus he plays ST's.
That is why he did not sit up and Brown did.

Brown showed again why he belongs on the 53.

They will keep both.

That's correct.

The thing that separates Milton from Howell and it’s why I chose Milton before camp is his ability to stretch plays . If the pass rush is strong enough ( Giants ) Howell is either sacked or putting it up for grabs . Milton can step up slide to the side either run it himself or see who’s open . Milton back up Howell PS if he doesn’t get claimed .

Exactly... These two are about equal in stats...but Miltons mobility is the difference

in tight games he could very well give up a sack that matters or allow pressure that allows a Pick.
So yes its very possible why ANYONE is defending Steele at this point is a true mystery

Because isn't as big of a liability as most in make him out to be.

No names jump out?

Dak, Free, Pollard, Barber, Ferguson, Biadasz, Schultz, Bradie James... Just off the top of my head.

And look at how many never liked any of those layers. Except Barber.
But not a one of them were a true difference maker.
Ha,es was ok at LB but never great.
Dak a very good QB most of the time. But playoffs he has not been.
Some still complain about Ferguson.

But since Dak, the past 11 years. 3 average to above average players.

You’re not drafting “true difference makers” in round 4. You’re drafting solid starters or good rotational players. All those guys where one or the other.

A franchise top-8 QB in round 4 is winning the lottery lol.

And who cares if fans liked them? If you dislike a day 3 pick cause he’s a solid starter and not a star your expectations are all out of whack.

I agree with this. We've been hit and miss in the fourth round over the years. I think I mapped out since 2015, we've had four hits and four misses. For me, that means you should be willing to take some shots at veterans if the opportunity arises, but you shouldn't just throw away the pick. I'm not sure which we did today, but for the moment, I'm OK with taking a chance on the athletic talent that Jones possesses. Come next April, I might be grumpy that we don't have a third-round and sixth-round pick.

10. Stop talking about trading Turpin, the guy is a weapon and can take it to the house on kick returns

I'm not disagreeing with you but do you realize only 6 kick returns were housed last year?

15 punt returns. The % of each is pretty dismal.

At some point, return value doesn't justify a roster spot. (I mean yards gained by a guy like Turp & just league average returner)
