Congrats to staff for extending Barmore.
Pharms (a light DT at 300) will be an ERFA in 2025 so we can keep him
We do have Roberts (300) through 2025
DT 2025 FREE AGENTS (please correct me if I am wrong)
Godchaux (310)
Watts (307)
Ekuale (310)
Wise (280)
Hill (310)
Judon will be extended. We...
The team who coaches OL's without OL coaches has known that the OL has needed a rebuild. I expect we will need two more next draft, and 2 more in 2026.
incumbents: Onwenu, Andrews
2022: Strange, Hines, Steuber
2023: Andrews, Sow, Mafi
2024: Wallace, Robinson
We also brought in Okorafor...
When will Strange be back at 100%? We all hope that he is healthy, but I presume that Sow is ready if needed, and perhaps Mafi.
RIGHT SIDE
We have no problems with Sow, Onwenu and now Robinson as a backup RG. I presume that Okorafor or Anderson or Wallace could be expected to be our swing OT...
It doesn't seem that Bourne is expected to be a key piece. When is he expected to be back anywhere close to be 100%. Even if we don't sign a top receiver, it seems that he will be our #4, barring injuries.
We signed Osborne (1 year)
We drafted Polk (4 years)
We drafted Baker (4 years)
We are...
ATL drafted Penix at 8 after signing Cousins to a $160M 4-year contract ($100M) guaranteed.
Are they nuts?
Nope!
======
Consider this scenario. The coach tells the owner that he believes that ATL has the best team in the Division and will be competitive to win the division for the...
Folks wanted our future QB, a WR and an OT. We did all three while making our 5th a 4th. For me, I couldn't have expected more, although my personal preference was a CB at 37 instead of a WR.
================================
The QB is who we wanted and who the staff wanted. They will be given...
As I said yesterday, all 8 OT's likely enough to start at LT are gone. I suspect that we'll still draft an OT or two after trade down.
I'm sure there are folks who think that there is no problem drafting a starting LT in the 2nd or 3rd, even if they are the 9th or 10th best OT in the draft...
WAS is drafting Daniels. That is the only given.
==============================
We could trade with CHI who wants their choice of WR
We could trade with the NYG who want a QB.
We could trade with AZ who we could threaten (no trade and we trade with someone else who will pick a WR)
We could...
I was looking at one the more popular mock drafts. 8 OT's were gone in the first round, with a couple of more at the top of the 2nd (Paul at 37 and Suamataia at 41) with no more for 10 or so picks.
I really, really want us to draft an OT at 34. However, I don't think even I would pass on...
We will add a QB and at least one OT and probably an OG late in the draft. We may even sign an additional free agent.
=========================
QUARTERBACK
Bissette replaced Jones. Rourke and Zappe are back, at least for now.
IOL
All are back from last year, except that the youngsters have...
I considered 10 top QB's from memory: Brady, Mahomes, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Favre, Allen, Jackson, Prescott and Russell Wilson. I believe that only Manning was picked in the first.
MVP QUALITY QUARTERBACK
I believe that top 5, MVP type QB's are very rare and could come from anywhere...
The reality is that the players have haven agreement that forces new employees to work for someone they don't wish to work for. They have no choice for four years. Yes, they are paid well. Previous players have negotiated with regard to how much current players are paid.
Except for a...
How many QB's in the first 16 picks?
I think that the answer will be 5 by pick 12. I just can't see CHI, WAS, NE, MIN or DEN passing on a QB. I saw one mock where MIN trades up to 4 or 5 and then DEN refuses to risk missing Penix and drafts him at 8.
I think that the big questions are the...
If we think that what is there at 3 is a potential top QB, then we should pick him, period.
================
WHAT IF WE THINK THAT THERE ARE 2 TOP QB's, BOTH GONE
Now, it is time to focus on finding a starting QB with a relatively high floor. We can hope, but we really are looking for a...
I would like to see Elliot decide where he will play in 2024 (here of Dallas). We do need another RB.
A LT signing is certainly possible, and desirable.
The rest can wait until after the draft (free safety, DT, 3rd TE, backup LG, STers).
The STer are almost all gone.
11 players played in at least 35% of the ST reps. 8 are gone.
Schooler, Tavai and Mapu are left.

I'm fine with trying to trade for a relatively young #1 WR. He would be part of the 2026 divisional run. That trade could come anytime this year. However, it seems more likely that we will sign a WR or two in the next off-season.

WR IN THE DRAFT
I suspect that this is a low priority...
