A good draft for edge players and wide outs, two positions that are currently stressing our cap in Lawrence and Cooper. May the draft god's smile on us when we're on the clock

Honestly, I would have no problem double-dipping edge players (1st and mid-round).......hell, we could very lose DLaw, Gregory and Armstrong

Pre-combine there are 11 edge rushers with starting grades. I can't remember the last time that happened.

No matter if they bring back both players, they will be expensive and will be 30 at the start of the season. Have to get younger and cheaper.

What we do know is, pass rushers get overdrafted due to need, if you want 1, have to get them early.

True but this is the first draft I can remember most experts agreeing it's loaded with quality pass rushers. This is why I'd have no problem spending two of the first three picks at DE and hopefully can get a good/quality G.

IDK, free agency starts in about two weeks, I'm just getting a good feeling about Gregory returning. For example, have you heard of any offers from either side? I haven't.......again we only have 10-12 days left. Remember when DLaw, Dak, and Zeke were in the same situations? We were hearing continuous offers before the free agency period started.

Usually you hear news during the senior bowl and the combine when all teams, agents are present. Pretty sure we will hear some things this week. As for the Egde players in the draft, I don't believe there will be any left when we come on the clock in rd 3.

Yea I know the combine is light the Super Bowl for league/teams transactions.

Just what this doctor ordered!

This is usually when some of those fa deal are made, although not legal, lol.

 

[morasp]

There should be a lot to look for this week. I'll be interested in all the DT arm lengths. I've seen some comments that Boye Mafe is going to test very well.

Yep...........correct me if I'm wrong but history shows IF you don't get your own free sign before he hit the market, it's unlikely he returns.

Sounds about right.

Never say never, Cooper hit the open market and resigned. Let's also do not forget they can use the tag and extend too.

 

[Malhavoc]

I think if they can get Gregory signed, Lawrence is gone. I also think Cooper is out. I would address TE, LB, S, and eccentric DT in FA. The OL is going to be too expensive in FA. That along with DE, and WR should be dealt with in the draft.
