Irsay is picking up Gore and Johnson on his private jet and flying them in from Miami today. The team is desperate to take some of the pressure off of Luck, but they're going to overspend on FAs who are already past 30 years old. Watch.

I read that they also have some interest in Vince Wilfork.

Just read report that Malcolm Smith signed with Oakland.

 

[BHF]

Good for him. He and Mack might make a good tandem.

Jake Locker retires at age 26

The Locker news is by far the most surprising thing of the day so far.

Gonna have to continue facing Mike Iupati - signed 5 year, $40 million deal with Cardinals.

Percy Harvin was released, so that pick becomes a sixth rounder.

As expected. So with the Graham trade factored in, what picks we got now minus the comps?

One for each round but the first and 2 in the fourth.

Man, were gonna have to draft offensive and defensive line in this draft and hope we nail a couple picks... ESPECIALLY our offensive line... We lost Unger and Carpenter so drafting O-line is now a priority... I would LOVE to get a BIG run stuff DT also....

 

[RegentDenali]

It's a very thick draft for Oline talent. We should be able to find OG and C's all over the rounds we have draft picks in so it sets up well for us in that dept.

Offensive line was a priority either way. This trade just makes it more of a priority.

Sure, but now we go into it with a presumably narrowed focus on what the team is after, and we should have plenty of picks in rounds 2-4 to make it happen. You can find quality linemen in that range.

Should come cheap. Getting cut from the Phins, with that sieve of an OL, isn't a good sign.

If Terrance Knighton was to join this team I see Mebane flat out cut saving us $5.5M which goes to Knighton.

Would be a interesting pickup, but doubt that the Seahawks are the highest bidders for his services.
