agree, either a cheaper free agent, and/or at least one WR in the first three rounds

or scare someone into a trade up. I love draft intrigue

I hear Dalman chose us over more lucrative offers. Looks like we are becoming a destination. Hopefully the right WR feels the same way.

Exactly. We put together a competitive roster, but it has too many older free agents. A great sustainable team develops through the draft, and reaching for positions is the best way to minimize your draft capital, so being flexible is key. Now we have a good roster, and Caleb's rookie deal gives us the money to do it. The next phase will be to replace those players with best player available over the next few years of the draft, and then we will be a real sustainable franchise. Hopefully, when the time comes, Caleb emulates his hero Tom Brady and leaves some money on the table so he has someone to throw the ball to. Poles knows this, and now that we have a real coaching staff who can help with player evaluations, the future looks bright.

maybe we will draft Kelvin Banks Jr and get something similar.

for sure, and as Philly taught us, you can never have too many pass rushers

waited many years to see this post! Congrats to you and all of us! Maybe OLT at pick #10 too

If we dont trade down, I think we are looking at OT, Edge or RB with the #10 pick. Possibly WR?

and the TE2, too

And with all the obvious holes filled; OG, OC, OG, TE, DE and DT, we now have draft flexibility.

Big body, high motor. Looks good, and yes to dawhizz, he looks like he could play some DT, especially on 3rd down. https://x.com/NFL_DougFarrar/status/1897346672558330301

He's an edge - big bodied like Allen likes. I feel like signing him instead of a larger name hints at us drafting an edge player early in the draft? Either that or they think Booker will continue to develop?

ANy RB (or QB) will do better with a better line, so of course i agree with you on that. My personal opinion is still that Swift isnt good enough, and I think he will at most split carries with a running back who isnt on the roster yet. Possibly he will do even less or get traded, but his cap situation says he stays this year and is gone next year. So I forsee him being RB2 behind someone we dont even know yet. But this is all just my guess. I KNOW he isnt good enough, I agree he will be better with a better OL, and the rest is just my opinion.

spotrac does a great job of tracking the salary cap and predicting market value. They say 3 year deal worth $11M a year, so that's probably pretty close. They give comps and justify their thoughts at this link too. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/market-value/_/id/76915/kyler-gordon

unless Allen thinks one is head and shoulders above the rest, I suspect we might wait for a few to go and the price to fall.

at first blush, he's a little guy, but he has some twitch to him. Maybe he could provide some of the slot role that Allen gave us last year.

My guess is he will play RG?
