Keim's off-season preview

[Stymietee]

Offensive line and Defensive line have jumped to the front of the line for me. Eagles rushed four and won in part because their receivers couldn't separate save for Worthy. WR2 is still a need.

WR1!!

 

[kbso83432]

WR1!!

You gotta let that go. Lol.

 

[Stymietee]

You gotta let that go. Lol.

I can't! Lol

 

[skinsdad62]

I have said that LOS is what we need most from the draft . Good year for it .

In FA I would look for Wr upgrade and CB

Keim's Tee Higgins pod 2/10/25
Talked with a beat writer from Cincinnati who writes for ESPN.

Keim doesn't know if Higgins is a real possibility for the Skins with all the other needs they have. Might be able to get someone cheaper to supplement Terry. Only have two WRs under contract.

Trey Hendrickson has one more year on his deal. Not sure what the Bengals are going to do with him. Hasn't heard that he's a target for Washington, but maybe down the road. Bengals would like to keep him. Trey hasn't made any trade request so far, but Keim said he would revisit with the beat writer (Ben) if he did.

Burrow has made it clear he does not want Tee Higgins to leave the building. Joe was asked at his locker by Ben if he really thinks they can keep Tee. Burrow was adamant that they can.

Bengals will do everything they can to keep Tee. Higgins told Ben he is not taking a hometown discount. Ben said it won't be easy. Tee and Chase share the same agent.

Price tag is 30m. Ben said wherever Tee goes he will be a #1. Great catch radius, long frame, and strong at the catch point. Said if he goes to Washington, Jayden would find those attributes valuable. Higgins has no ego and wouldn't have a problem being 1B to Terry. (paraphrasing)

Did question if Tee could stay healthy. Said because of that the Bengals may be able to bring him back at a cheaper rate than they anticipated. Higgins has a lot of soft tissue injuries (hamstring). When Higgins is healthy he's been good. Tenth in the league in yards per game.

Tee has a great work ethic and will fight through injuries to get on the field. Takes pride in that. Showed up on time for camp while on a franchise. Doesn't want his name in the headlines and was very upset that fans accused him a faking his injury.

Ben said it's too early to say that Higgins is gone. Kupp being available could affect things in regard to Tee. Maybe Cincinnati moves toward him. (paraphrasing)

Might be the worst offensive line draft I've seen in recent memory.

I don’t think so , it’s rated good

 

[chillerdab]

I cant say that I would be mad if the skins concentrated on their lines during the draft, but I also dont think it’s as dire a need as other posters.

For starters, Daniels gets the ball our really fast and has the speed to out run most defenders.

Secondly, he’s really great at reading defenses and adjusting the play.

The Eagles dominated, that’s true. What I’m not so sure about is how good the KC line was to begin with.

two OL and two DL in the draft and free agency for a premiere cb and wr or rb might be a good way to improve the skins.

Don't forget about the run game. It's more than just protecting Jayden. I don't want Jayden to be the leading rusher next year.

Couldnt agree more.

Robinson is an adequate runner, but not really a number one. He runs hard and upright. Rodriguez looked more like the part in my opinion than Robinson did.

Eckeler is a great addition and a fantastic change of pace back, but I think at this stage of his career, his effectiveness as a back running out of the backfield is limited. He’s
much more effective catching passes out of the backfield.

Is there a dominant rb available this draft? Is this a good draft for rbs? I’ve said multiple times that I dont follow college football in the slightest.

There are some really good backs in the draft, but I brought up the lack of a run game as another reason to build up the o-line.

Continues to downplay the possibility of the Skins signing Tee Higgins. Made it clear that he is not reporting that. Said AP keeps everything close to the vest.

Downplayed the possibility of signing DJ Reed because of his height. Said Quinn likes big/physical corners. Size was not a deal breaker (Sainristil) but said they knew Reed would be a FA when they traded for Lattimore.

Speculated they would draft a corner and named dropped the guy from Florida State (Azareye'h Thomas) in a previous pod. Said refer to that pod when talking rookie corners the Skins may target.

Talked about how he could see the Skins sign a guard or two. Said the Skins couldn't run block toward the end of the year.

Went into great length when talking about bringing in a LT. Name dropped Stanley, but did say he has an injury history and led the team in penalties. Also talked Aralic Jackson, and to a lesser extent Cam Robinson.

Said he could see Coleman getting moved to RT or G. Also said there is a possibility that Peters leaves him there and let's him develop. The time Keim spent talking about signing a LT makes me feel Coleman won't be the LT week one. Just a guess.

Keim could see the Skins adding a young TE and a young LB to create a sussecion plan for Ertz and Wagner.

The FSU CB makes sense. He should be here at #29. If we can land Stanley in FA that would be huge.

No one really knows what the GMs big boards look like. I have to catch myself from getting too caught up in the mock draft simulator big boards. To your point, I've switched to the PPF mock lately and I've been able to get Thomas at 79.

I doubt Thomas lasts until #79 but who knows

 

[Skin'EmAll]

I think he will still be there when we pick in the 2nd. I've seen him ranked very high and very low too

No doubt the Bengals have to figure something out with Trey. That article was from April of 2024. Definitely something to keep an eye on for sure.

thats why i mentioned cut (when i thought he was an FA ) . this offseason needs to be approached with a certain amount of patience with a well timed sprinkle of aggression

I think there is a market for him, but you never know.
