True.

at the time Osi was our main guy. We have takk, Jarrett and Vic. Different time

SJax was just an odd signing. Wrong scheme and he was just slow

In hindsite, it was a Big mistake by TD/Smith grasping for one last run instead of rebuilding around nucleus...we got old fast.

I feel the same way I believe Ryan contact is done their just waiting to announce it. I wouldn't mind this money going to the fullback from Dallas Keith Smith and possibly a DT and OG in free agency.

That’d be a heckuva offseason if we ended up with Pugh, Smith and maybe Wilkerson on a Poe-type deal.

itd let us be creative in the draft

If he put up an 8.5 sack year would you still be mad?

YES, because it’s a 3rd round pick which is supposed to be a starter at some point - for a guy that is a 1-2yr rental at $8mm per year who wants his contract renegotiated every other year.

You won’t get three years of 8.5 sacks and if he gets 8 the first year, 6 the second year and 4 the third year then you are paying more than the rule of thumb “1mm per sack” AND you gave up a 3rd rounder- that would be an awful trade.

His mental health is the key.... :D:ninja::ninja:

The one thing I swear I remember reading about Wilkerson is that his get off was just average. We're talking years and years ago though so I could be wrong but Quinn really does value that first step and it's evident in the Dlineman we've brought in since he's been here.

How would he sit? Dude, we got clay and brooks plenty of snaps, plus Bennett moves inside on passing downs. You’re talking speed demons Vic and takk off the edge with Grady and Bennett inside. That’s sick!

Bennett can slide inside in certain formations. Made a living do as much in Seattle.

Exactly....plus we need to rebuild a rotation at DL...

Ok. 

Your opinion. But I think you’re horribly wrong and myopic on this one. We have a 3 to four year window period if not shorter on SB. A third round traded for a proven player is a smart risk when you have a fairly young team to start with

Using your logic, shouldn’t Harlow be a starter this year or next thus negating the need for a first round OG? Also, why give up on wes if picks are so valuable.

we gave a fifth for Ty Sambrailo btw, yet you balk at a third for Bennett! Gtfo here lol

First and foremost you all are seriously underrating our OL.

second, you have plenty of picks. 

Third a third and 7th is nothing for a proven upgrade from clayborn

lastly, they are far worse off on OL than us

 

Facts. The oline was just about on par with the SB year. The running backs were about the same and Matt was hit/sacked about the same. We don’t have to FIX the oline. We have to bring more competition and depth.

Smith and Wilkerson yeah I don't know on Pugh I think Giants will try to keep them.

 

Even if we plug two of these holes in free agency with those two being fullback and OG. We could be creative in the draft...if we signed a free agent DT I would draft another one any way. I really starting to like Harrison Phillips and we the Vea injury maybe he falls to 26 i would take him anyway with the recovery time bringing him in possibly mid season.

Wes wasn’t that bad and he got better as he year went. The oline didn’t cause one loss last year but wr drops contributed.

Finally the truth!

man, you’re right. It was just the first year of a similar but different system

I dunno J...two years of double-digit  sacks....and he’s still only 28-29...

if he’s open to it, i’d give him a one-year prove-it deal like we did Poe. 

Easier said than done though...

See, I though Wes showed some talent. He had rough patches, but I’m not ready to give up on him.

i like Braden Smith in fourth, or someone similar. Sign a vet and let all compete

I don’t know on Pugh either. It’ll be interesting to see how FA advances, but we haven’t been afraid to sign a vet and let pick develop 

phillips would be great. Particularly if we traded for Bennett.

I think you are myopic.  Every mistake made has been adding an expensive vet to chase SB.  Alex Mack signing was not that.

Older players with high salaries are on the cut line all the time.  Nobody else is going to give up a 3rd rounder for Michael Bennett.  3rd round draft picks are not given in trades for anything less than a QB - if 30yr old or older.

Patriots only got a 2nd rounder for Jimmy Garoppolo who just got paid $20mm+ per year.

You give it away too easy.

**** I'm open to it too. I remember a game years back where he was just demolishing our O-line and Gruden was going on and on about him. He could play inside or slide outside on running downs too.

Right I was thinking that with Bennett Grady Phillips Crawford and maybe Wilkerson or Rubin that's a great rotation at DT. With Bennett and Crawford getting some snaps at DE.

You are about to get bombarded by the board lol

i think that would be cap helll

Would it? Freeman has a bigger contract than Coleman (obviously). Dumping his contract to Seattle and getting Bennett in return is almost like an even swap in terms of cap. Freeman has concussion issues. Coleman has fresher legs. And to your point, we can draft another RB in the middle of the draft. 

I’ve always liked Freeman. But I don’t think he’s a life time Falcon like many people here suggest.
