2024 Free agency and draft thread

Having Evan Ingram on the roster is going to help their WR room, so would not go WR in round 1.

Maybe that's my own ignorance here but I figured Ingram wouldn't interfere with the WR room.

I just believe he'll open up the passing game in general and defenses will have to commit more coverage to the TE. Could help our current WR core.

Russell Wilson to the Giants! Wow. Surprised no one else has posted this yet

The Pats are back to being the Pats most of us knew all our lives. The guys with the bad jerseys who always lost and made bone-headed personnel moves. No one wants to play in New England anymore, just like the old days. They're back, baby!

That’s an awful deal. He took a big step back

I mean that's where his wife originally wanted to go (or at least on her list)... no shock here.

Giants probably still taking a qb in the first, scratch probably. They should.

I would imagine you guys take a WR, IOL, or CB. Safety seems like an odd choice. Curl and Kinchens weren't terrible last year... they weren't great but they were above average... and Kinchens was a rookie. Your cornerbacks weren't that good though... fairly mediocre.

I know you got Adams, Nacua, Atwell.. but kind of like Seattle Kupp/Adams can't be relied on for a huge snap count or possibly all season. WR is pretty deep right around where you guys are drafting.

3 year $69M?

Eh reportedly it's only $26M guaranteed so whatever. He was doing okay in Houston until the ACL tear. Pats just needed something - natural they have to overspend a little bit.

Surprised they didn't take more of that money and spend it on OL although maybe OL just didn't want to go to the Pats. Chicago, Minny, and Washington are far more attractive at the moment.

26 mill isn't an overspend when they need a legit WR for their young QB.

LOL.

Well an overspend is an overspend, either way ya fuckin' slice it. I'm not going to give someone a pass and say "Oh it's not an overspend because they NEED this position!" lol that's ridiculous. That's like saying, "I bought stock at it's peak value because I NEED to own stock and diversify a portfolio!" That's retard logic.

Nah, I think it's a little bit of an overspend. Is that a concern? No, they had a ton of cap so whatever. They need a lot more than just a legit WR (legit? I mean he's on the back end of his career) to help their young QB, though.

He probably has more left in the tank than Kupp....what do you think?

Campbell is a tackle but he would prob. move to guard for Seattle. I think Zabel does much better though with what Seattle wants to do (zone blocking). Campbell over Zabel would be a bit of a head scratcher to me.

I'd take Kupp.

Feel good about the future of safety position, Lake was pretty good too

Corner and ILB are our biggest needs

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

I think they're both kind of torched... Seattle has JSN though... and they want to run the ball and use 2-3 TE sets a lot. Kupp is one of the better blockers though. Either way they're not asking Kupp to be a #1. Course the draft is deep at wideout... so NWE can always snag someone in the 2nd. Travis Hunter I assume will play D. And anyone saying he can play WR... you're not marching him out there 100 snaps a game. He'll be dead by mid-season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'd take Kupp.

As banged up as he is?

That's a stretch. IMO.
