You can find a receiver in the 2nd round. I'm not sure if I would pass on Verse if I didn't address this position in free agency.

If one of the big 3 WR or Bowers is there, I think that is the move.

If Fashanu is there, I think there will be someone looking to trade up. Then, maybe that scares the Jets into wanting to move up one spot.

I think they are in a great spot at 9 to consider a trade down unless there is just an absolute no brainer there they really want. It seems the talent from 9-20 is about equal. So trade down and get hopefully a 2nd and then get someone at a lower spot

If they can come out of trading everything (through trading Fields and #9) with 4 top 50 picks, Poles will have done a great job of manipulating his fellow GM

Doesn’t having Sweat locked up make you think no need for edge at 9?

Sweat isn't elite and he still needs help on the opposite side.

Yep. He can just be double teamed if there's no one else on the other side to account for.

Indirect negotiations continue to take place in the press. Now the web is being flooded with rumors that Atlanta prefers Cousins way more than they prefer Fields. This is very sensible. But it could also be a tactic to drive Fields' price down.

Cousins is going to cost around $40M a year. The Falcons only have about $37M in cap space.

Restructures, extensions, cuts and trades can add another $25+M if they want him bad enough. They could also structure the contract at a lower cap hit early.

Justin Fields would need 20 seasons in the league to accumulate the numbers Cousins put up in 2022.

Yep, he failed to build the offense around Fields' strength of holding onto the ball until someone sacks him.

Rome Odunze is nearly as big. Pass on Bowers.

The Redskins are going to make an offer for C-Will. Their entire ownership group was present for his interview. We all know new ownership wants to make a splash. Poles has to resist the temptation. Jayden Daniels isn't a comparable option. He shouldn't allow any to convince him that Daniels is.

Plus, Josh Lucas said a couple of months ago that everyone knows Daniels is a mama's boy and has a helicopter mother. He's also the same size as Coby White.

An over-zealous desperate offer for the #1 pick is a dream scenario for the bears.

Pretty convinced that isn't happening.

You said Caleb Williams wasn't that good, yet you have teams flocking the Bears with over-zealous offers for #1? Pick a lane!

You are probably right, but they could trade down a couple times and still get a good qb prospect and really improve this team in a HURRY

I’ve never said he “isn’t that good”. I just think he is far from a sure thing and if the redskins think he is it would really benefit the bears.

Assuming the Bears take Williams, would the #9 pick plus Justin Fields be enough to get Marvin Harrison?

I imagine you would have to include the Panthers' pick from next year in the deal. Maybe more.

They need a Center in this years draft so I’d be looking to gather more assets thru trades rather than deplete them with trades like this. Keep in mind, there’s some really good WR prospects in this draft too so moving back with that #9 isn’t a terrible idea. I’d almost be tempted to move back with 9.. grab the Center with that pick then grab a WR in the 2nd if they can recoup a 2nd in a trade back.


Seriously, this WR class is pretty insane. Franklin, Thomas Jr, McConkey, Legette, Mitchell and so on are all way up there talent wise. This is probably the deepest class at this position I’ve ever seen.
