Zion Johnson played OC at the senior Bowl. Lot of scouts thinks that is his best spot. At pick 71 , there would be OT choices, Darian Kinnard, or Tyler Smith, maybe Nicolas Petit-Frere. Going both oline, center and tackle would not bother me a bit. If the OT needs some growing, bringing back Peters for one year would work. Also in the 5th Alex Linstrom/OC from BC could still be there. Other late OCs, Nick Ford, Luke Fortner, Ben Brown.

Our D line coach came from the Raiders. I hope he can get Quinton Jefferson to come here . He would be a perfect 3T . last year had 6 sacks and 43 pressures. He's 28, 6'4" 291. I don't think he makes more than 6-7 mil per year.

Bell would be fine but better as a 3 rd pick. I tink 2nd round has to be OL. The names you mentioned should be available in 3rd. Not sure Bell will end up a #1 in NFL.

I think it's a friendship hiring.

He's not calling plays, he will be fine.

He would be a good get, but I don't think he starts day one, on the other hand, Zion plug and play.

No hurt in training camp.

I want Zion to be our first pick, he is the closest thing to Quinton Nelson in this draft. We can easily find a WR in the 3rd round.

Does anyone think Kyle Long could stay healthy enough at a one year gig? Poles thought so in KC last year.

There is risk with Noteboom, the last two years he only played part time but played very well. I figured taking the chance on a ascending player instead of one that was in decline. I figure the new oline coach could have some input , there is a few options with Pittsburgh, OG Trai Turner and Chukwuma Okorafor could be in play also. I was trying find room for another WR. I like Zay Jones but he was to expensive at 6 mil. We will definitely add two FAs. I think Pringle and Demarcus Robinson could be in play with Poles coming from KC, or with Getzy from GB, Valdes-Scantling , Allen Lazard.

He was drafted in 2017, second on team in Ts 2018 and 2019, then led the team in 2020. Couldn't find any stories relating to why he left . Maybe he wanted a better contract, turned down there offer and ended up getting stuck in the second wave sighing . Had to settle for a 1year deal. The stories said he was one of the team leaders so not sure why he left. It wasn't because of production. Had more Ts than Dadius Leonard in 2020.

I took 30 mil of the cap and tried to fill as many needs as possible. I used the salaries they posted in the article of PFF top 200 FA LB Anthony Walker. 4 mil led Browns in Ts WR Micheal Gallup 5 mil. He will miss 4 to 5 games 3T Quinton Jefferson 4 mil. 6 sacks--43 pressures CB Mike Hughes 3.25. 77.8 PFF Coverage rating OC Ted Karras 4.33. 73 PFF grade, started last 2 years for NE LT Joseph Noteboom 4 mil filled in for Whitworth 400 snaps, 79 PFF rating SS Jayron Kearse 5 mil played well for Dallas last year. Spent 29.53 mil

I looked at PFF list of top150 free agents. A lot of good players signed 1 year prove it deals last year. Anthony Walker played for the Browns last year. Led the team in Ts. Played in Indy the previous 4 yrs. He played for 2.5 mil. He's 27. Would be a perfect get at MLB. A 3 year- 14 mil should get him here. Give him 7 guaranteed. What say you Also ton of free agent Ss out there, we should get a good value at SS. I would take a flyer on Terrell Edmunds. Got drafted at LB but they moved to SS .6'2" 220 and has 4.47 speed. He's 25.

I think any contending team that needs a pass rusher will go through FAgeny and then the draft before they trade for an older expensive option to them. If a trades happens it will be during training camp not in free agency. Maybe someone gets injured or .didn't work out. I think its going to be hard to find a trade partner. They have to be a contending team, with a lot of cap space. As far as cutting them, they will try to win this year, I don't see it happening.

That would have 5 starters in that group. Wouldn't that be cool.

I'm in Thailand for the winter so I have a lot of free time to look at everything bears. No matter what order, the first two picks has to be WR and OL We need other positions , but the best chance to start are the picks at 39 and 71 . We can fill the D with free agents.

If he can get Daniels back at 6 to 7, I think he does it. Last yr was nothing special but he has gotten better every year. I'm not big on PFF but it is something to use for comparison . His rating was 70.3. In there metrics that was above average for his position. He's 24 very young for someone to be getting a second contract. Many people has said his best position is OC. When he played center originally he had problems with the line calls , not the physically of the position.If Poles believes he can excell there , that would be a cheap price going forward. Move Borom to RG or draft one, my choice would be to draft Zion Johnson if available. Like someone else suggested, the best scenario is a LT is at 39, draft him and shuffle the line now and let them grow. If the OT isn't ready yet bring back Peters for one year.

Firstpick.com has a good draft simulator. I think Zion is a good get even we don't trade back. I see a few trades but the simulators present that option to much. The big board on some of these sites are off. No way Watson makes it to 5th. I would love to get two WRs , Sky or Watson would be great.

I've seen they suggest 15, but I think he may have to take a little less, kind of like Beckham JR had to.

I don't think those values are realistic. Daniels will be 8 to 10. Hicks 5 to7, Robinson around 12. . No one is paying Mustifer or Bars that. Nichols is probably spot on.

Just seen where Anthony Hitchens, LB for KC was just released today. He was second on team in Ts. He played in Dallas when Eberflus was the DC. Sighed with KC on a money deal. Made 6.6 mil last year. Not sure If SAM or MLB. He's 29, maybe Matt would want him. Not a big TO guy. He played 53% of the snaps, must have not been part of the Nickel package. What say you?

Poles stated , his first task is to fix the oline. Signed for this year are Whitehair, Jenkins, Borom, Ty Wheatly, Dieter Eiselen , and Willie Wright. Whitehair. had an off year, but over the last 3 years has been our best lineman. Plus a big contract that doesn't allow the team to get out of it for one more year. Pencil him in at LG Jenkins will be playing LT or at RT depending on who we bring in . Borom will be RT or RG depending on who they bring in. FAgency could bring in LTs : Orlando Brown, Cam Robinson are under 27 and will be getting big contracts. Old dudes: Teven Armsted, Duane Brown Nate Solder, Riley Reiff, and Jason Peters. FAgency OC : Ryan Jensen, Brian Allen, Ben Jones, Ted Karras , Bradley Bozeman. FAgency RG: Brandon Scheff, Mark Glowinski, Trai Turner, Alex Cappa, and James Daniels. I didn't list LG or RT because we have players at those positions. There are a few LTs available, but I think the price tag will be to high. Option 1) Jenkins, Whitehair, Jensen, Draftee ( Zion Johnson or Darian Kinnard), Borom This option has us signing a FA center 3 choices. Jensen (12 mil), Brian Allen (7 mil), Karras (5 mil). Also it has us drafting a RG, Johnson and Kennard fall in the beginning of the 2nd round drafting rankings. Option 2) Draftee ( Bernhard Raimann or Trevor Penning) Whitehair, Daniels, Borom, Jenkins. In this option we resign Daniels, put at OC, and draft a LT prospect. Using CBS sports, big board for reference. Option 3) Jenkins, Whitehair, Ted Karras, Mark Glowinski, Borom. In this option he brings in 2 free agents , and draft a couple of OLs not in our first 2 picks. Karras and Glowinski are inexpensive options that had better than average years last year.. Option 4) Jason Peters, Whitehair, Brian Allen, Borom, Jenkins We resign Peters for one year ( 77.5 PFF rating) and draft a OT in the third round for us to develop for a year. Sean Ryan or Max Mitchell are ranked near that draft spot. Also sign Dennis Allen at a medium priced contract. There are many different combinations of FAs and draftees of which Poles could go. Until we figure out how he grades his existing players, had to pin down. Idea situation would be to sign Orlando Brown, and bring in a cheap option Ted Karras at OC. I just don't think he's bringing in a 20 mil FAgent. Jacob Infante suggested bring in Allen at OC and draft Zion Johnson for RG. I would be on board with that option. Allen is 27 and had 80 PFF rating. Rams have cap issues, probably won't match a high offer 7-8 mil range because of their cap. Free agents I like, Ryan Jensen, Brian Allen, Ted Karras, Alex Cappa, Moses Morgan, Orlando Brown, James Daniels.

Kamara played DT in college and I think with his pass rushing ability, may thrive at 3T. He had 5.5 sacks and 14_pressures during his final year in college. Not sure if he can hold up against the run.

To be able to trade Mack or Quinn, you have to have a contending team with cap space. The only good teams that have cap space and a need, are the Chargers and Bengals. LA has Bosa, but that's it. Their head coach was here as Macks LB coach. They have 11 draft picks, so I expect them to try to draft one, but if they don't get the guy they want, I can see them being the best chance for a trade. Which would be after the draft.

I think an idea team would be Jaguars. They have a lot of cap space and Pederson went there. We Would save 8 mil, and lose 2.6 .I would say to get that done, we might have to eat of the cap money. If Jaguars only had to pay him 5 mil, it would be more attractive of a deal.
