Ya. I think I would mostly pick based on some combination of positions I want us to draft (or avoid...RB in the 1st) and posted draft boards.

I probably wouldn't vote because I don't know much about the prospects (although maybe wisdom of the crowds say I should vote anyway).

But I'd be interested in seeing this for the firs 3 - 4...

rip dmx ...

Lemming, you should be a lawyer (in a good way).

What is it they say, lawyers should only ask questions they know the answers to.

They reworked his contract so his cap hit is still very low next season. They will be very competitive again IMO.

That comment was about Hawaiian's comment that we could have drafted Mahommes. Obviously it was possible, but no one was talking about it at the time IIRC. And the cost would have been gigantic...

Here's what I thought after the emotional reactivity was lower (still before I understood the cap benefit of getting Fitz for peanuts with the Phins footing the signing bonus):



The team again...

If you dig up some other old threads, you'll also see that I wanted us to retire Ben this year.

And that the team obviously didn't agree with me.

I think I said in the other thread that (i) we would have drafted higher because the D and Fitz in particular won us games and (ii) it was possible that we would have drafted a franchise QB but we...

Fair enough.

I do think that we would have drafted earlier if we didn't get Minkah. We had a bunch of close wins. And we won because of defensive turnovers (and scores) because the combo of Mason...

Is certainly easy to do in retrospect.

Is have drafted Brady in the 1st too. Or at least the 3rd or something.

Hawiian, I thought you were (right IMO) against trading our entire draft to move up for a QB. :p

I don't think that the argument that they cut him because he asked for an extension makes any sense.

They cut him because they thought the cap space was used better elsewhere this year.

That's...

Do we know that they did ask for an extension?

Seems to me like asking for an extension would be super logical.

I think many people (raises hand) would have expected the team to want to extend...

Or Miami of Ohio?

I guess maybe it's different...

Our season last year was just so bizarre. Hard to boil his play down to just 2 numbers.

I think the problem is we don't really have any cap space.

I believe we are about $11.25 M under the cap per the NFLPA. But there's a bunch of stuff that doesn't include (e.g. extra 2 players to...

It's possible our plan is to try to pick someone else up on the cheap that we think is equal to or better than Nelson.

I haven't liked this move, but it's not really fair to evaluate a half...

Yep.

But the response to my comment of:

"It is possible that we cut him after Juju signed because we then didn't want to offer him a dummy extension because we don't want to pile up too much...

Ya, "he was so good on that play that he made it look effortless" shouldn't be seen as a negative.

I'm trying to think about that game as little as possible. But it still rears up at times.

Like when I say that comment about expectations for Cam.

Trying to erase those memories, but it's...

And you don't have to be great to have success on a rookie deal. When you make 5 - 10x less than the average QB, your team can put great players around you and give you a D that makes it so you don't...

I think he'd be kind of stupid to not take the dummy extension after the music's already stopped for big money UFA CB signings. Taking the dummy extension would be way better than going into the...

I am generally in favor of bolstering the line before getting a good RB.

I have always like G Bernard. Seems like a guy that always overdelivered as a backup / time share guy. Probably good in...

I don't think Haskins will pan out either.

I was initially pretty excited because of the pedigree.

Then I looked into him a bit more.

I think he should be the starter next year because he...
