I like the Smith signing just fine in its context. He’s a solid short-area YAC TE in an offense that could desperately use one, and I don’t think he rules out a draft pick there.

I don’t think the issue is affording Wilkins, so much as it is that they don’t think he’s worth what he’s asking for. Insofar as Sneed is concerned sounds legit- he paid Byron Jones and Howard, then Ramsey and Howard, now Howard is thankfully gone so now there’s a mega db contract sized hole in Grier’s heart

A 6th round pick for a member of the NFL's top 100? That's a good deal the Patriots got robbed.

I don't think there's many roster or cap situations around the league where you need to be paying Christian Wilkins and Robert Hunt the kind of money they got. Like maybe if you just got off a tank, and you've got an expansion level roster and money to burn, but if you had $50m free going into free agency I wouldn't want to do that.

DJ Reader played for Anthony Weaver in Houston, he's also extremely on-brand for IDL in this defense. The last couple of years in Baltimore they love sitting a big, power-oriented NT type at 2i in the Nickel on the weakside and just have him kill some bread and butter run concepts that way. Reader might be a priority signing because he's got juice as a pass rusher beyond most guys like that. He'll probably be expensive but I don't know backload the contract who gives a poo poo.

The Patriots don't have a GM for the Goon Draft- just because your team IRL is being run by a bunch of randos does not mean it needs to be on these hallowed forums.

So for the Goon draft I picked* Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State. I would have probably picked Graham Barton, with some serious consideration to Byron Murphy or Cooper DeJean(let's be real #21 is likely a corner whether we like it or not). * Well I shouldn't say I picked him, I completely missed my spot and he was autodrafted. My wakizashi has been prepared in the ceremonial fashion if necessary.

Bowers just doing position drills and no athletics testing at his pro day is a bit suspect that he'd be pretty ordinary or disappointing and his agents or whoever is telling him that not running will probably hurt him less than whatever he'd produce. You see these guys who just test out worse than they play on the field and you wonder if Bowers isn't going to roll out with like a 4.70-something and a crappy vertical if he did it.

I don’t see why people are calling Bowers a slot receiver or what have you. He can play attached to the formation, and be the beneficiary of the unique elements of the position. He’s probably scheme specific as a blocker, but if the right team drafts him he’ll probably be pretty useful there. I’m generally of the opinion it’s dumb to draft a TE too high but I think it’s highly contextual. If you’re paying a top pick to get an 700~ something yard receiver it’s probably a dumb move. I’ll be mad if some of these teams draft Bowers in his range because he’s 100% going to be a disappointment. That being said I’m all for Miami trading up if Bowers gets out of the top 10. A 21 team with two good receivers and is desperate for a short YAC option? That runs wide zone, and all the stuff that makes a TE unique as a receiver? It’s a great fit.

Amy Pole Her posted:I was trying to guess what the most realistic stupid pick they could make and he was it. I don't think the low floor matters that much for the Dolphins. Kion Smith, Kendall Lamm, Brandon Shell, Greg Little, hell for that matter Austin Jackson didn't really gently caress you over. You can protect a lovely tackle, and you can probably start him and get an acceptable result while waiting for the upside to pay off. I think I'm mostly annoyed in this draft you had Troy Fautanu and Ben Sinnott go right before your picks.

Amy Pole Her posted:Granted if it’s a running back that McDaniels desperately wanted and they spend a 3rd on him, the history is pretty solid for him to be a stud. If you've got to contextualize as a need, your lead back is 32 and has a huge injury history. I don't think you ought to even really be thinking of need except down the list behind "is this guy good", "are you sure" and then maybe "does he fit the scheme". There's going to be like 10-15 good players in the draft and they don't necessarily come where it's convenient. IMO hard not to look at this guy and see your replacement for Mostert.

Drafting for immediate need is a sucker's bet and I'm glad Miami didn't do it. The lead-up to the event is treated like it's a lottery of infinite possibility but a draft is going to produce 15-20 actual good players that in retrospect will have been meaningfully worth or exceed the value of their pick and then a bunch of jag's, busts, etc. There's no guarantee there's going to be a single player worthwhile at any position of need, much less one available where you pick. You might get lucky, but you're much better off going after what you think is most likely to be a good player and then figuring out the rest.

He's still pretty fast and has good stop/start, and he's always had the great catch radius. He's probably better in the slot at this point, but he's still got juice. I don't think he's going to be earning much of his incentives outside of "A Problem" occurring though.
