2024 Free agency and draft thread

Probably about a 5 mil overpay but he's a fuck of a lot better when healthy than A.R.'s buddies, Lazard and Cobb. Of course, they still have to hope they can shore up that O-line or it's all moot.

There's the rub...

McConkey on the Patriots would be a meme. You can't have another white WR going there. Cmon.

So you're saying they should wait and get McCaffrey?

Chase Young had a neck procedure done, so he'll be out until training camp. That signing just keeps looking worse.

Washington fans were laughing at the Saints before this news came out. What on Earth were they thinking? He will disappoint because that's all he does wherever he goes, still living off his college rep and I honestly thought NFL GMs were smarter than that. If he could not produce, and not take plays off, in SF with that near perfect situation it should be obvious that he won't produce in NO.

Jackson is tied for 9th in the league for salary by a guard. That's a massive overpay (essentially only a 2 year commitment)?

I'm glad you addressed that with him, I hsd two read it twice to make sure it is real. Jackson is going to perfect for the Rams, an interior line with 1k+ pounds of mauling.

Eagles signed a scrub from Penn State that might have one of the worst spider graphs I've ever seen :

I have no idea what that chart is supposed to mean.

For each parameter, the number is the percentage of where that player ranked among his peers.

So, for height and weight, he was in the 63rd percentile and 84th, respectively.
The better a player is, the more green you typically see.

PFF had it rated as an overpay too, but admitted that the NFL likely sees him as an ascending young player. They also didn't have it as a need for the Rams, as they must not have listed Avila as moving to center. That would've affected their rating as well. PFF was more concerned with their tackles.

So he's essentially a heavy tree stump of a DT.

Yeah, he's basically a training camp body.

Probably in there to help boost the confidence of the OLine.....

Two of the comps (DaQuan and Settle) were great in rotation for the Bills. Maybe he can be more.

Yeah....that was a nice addition.

Yeah....that was a nice addition.

Provided that McVay plays to his new strengths and continues to run the ball.

Yikes.

The DB room in Detroit was already bad.


Now they're gonna have to triple dip.

It's not like he was a part of the solution last year. Adding Davis and Robertson makes the CB room better than it was last year. It does definitely ramp up the need to draft one early though.

I somehow missed Dalvin Cook to Dallas.....LOL.

I read that there was mutual interest, but I haven't seen any reports that he actually signed in Dallas.

Thought I heard he signed.

Well, they need to be looking at something a little better than his corpse.
