If they can get Mekhi Becton in shape again, that OL will be very good with Vera Tucker and now Tomlinson at the guards.

Laken Tomlinson has come along way since his first two seasons with the Lions.  This after being a late 1st Round Pick. He was a huge disappointment.  The trade to the SF 49ers turned around his NFL career.

The decision by Tomlinson to sign with the Jets makes sense for him for at least 3 reasons:

1. The Contract.
2. The 49ers coaching connections..
3. The medical field opportunities in the NY Metro Area.  He's likely going to medical school to be a Doctor. 

The Jets also upgraded at TE.

The Jets have done a pretty good job building around Wilson, and they still have four picks in the first two rounds to add more pieces.

If Wilson is legit, I expect him to take a step forward.

Though I like what we've done today (Zay Jones aside), I'm still not so sure we've helped Trevor enough.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Brought in Kirk and Jones at WR, Engram at TE, and Scherff at OG.

We also have the upcoming draft where I don't think we're done bringing in talent to surround TLaw with - and we will have an opportunity to select talented players on offense with the 33rd pick or upward movement via trade.

The 1st overall pick is still up for grabs according to pundits where we could select an OT, but I genuinely believe it will be a DE (hoping for Thibodeaux unlike others who have flip flopped their choice to Hutchinson).

My guess is the Jets are going to add a Defensive Edge player and CB in the first couple of rounds in the draft.  I can't recall then having a big time pass rusher since John Abraham, mostly in the Herman Edwards era.


While he didn't come cheap, I think the Jaguars made a great addition with LB Foyesade Oluokun. He's a playmaking and tackling machine.  The Bob Sutton connection could well have made the difference in the Jags landing Oluokun.  Memories of the type of LB Mike Peterson was could well be returning with Oluokun wearing a Jags uniform..

I believe Foley Fatukasi is a good addition for the Jaguars Defense.  He's more than a two down interior Defensive Lineman, as evidenced by a pretty high number of pass rush pressures.  

Btandon Scherff is the Jags Offensive FA addition today that I think will help the Jags the most.  I think the jury is out on the other Offensive players the Jags signed today.  If even two of them pan out,  your confidence in Doug Pederson dating back to at least last off-season, will be rewarded.

Oh man, this is something I've been yearning for years with our defense...

I hope Oluokun fits the bill.

The major advantage Mike Peterson had when he was with the Jaguars was having two Pro Bowl massive DTs in front of him, in Marcus Stroud and John Henderson. 

While Foley Fatukasi and not many other DTs are on the level that Stroud and Henderson were,  I strongly believe that a key reason why the Jaguars signed Fatukasi today is in conjunction with the addition of Foyesade Oluokun.

I'm really hoping we package picks #33 and #65 to move up into the first round and get one of the premier receivers (Drake London, Jameson Williams, Chris Olave or Garrett Wilson.) This current receiving corps isn't good enough. We need a #1 receiver and those are the guys I see with that potential. I think we can get a very good developmental TE in the 3rd or 4th round.

I would still like to see them pursue maybe Marcus Maye (S), Stephon Gilmore (CB) or Patrick Peterson (CB) on 1 year deals defensively. I think Raheem Mostert at 30 coming off a knee injury is also worth a 1 year deal at RB. Again, not permanent solutions but you're getting a lot of value there on a one year deal with veterans probably eager to make an impact to land a better deal in 2023.

Gives the team a little bit more breathing room in the draft in the event it doesn't fall their way.

Here's the type of signing Upper likes at G lol

Texans re-signed center Justin Britt earlier Monday. They since have added veteran offensive guard A.J. Cann, agreeing to a two-year, $10.5 million deal with $4.5 million fully guaranteed, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.

The only one of these I'd move up for is Williams. He won't be 100% to start the season, but the additions of Kirk, Jones, Engram and Etienne will give Trevor many more options than last season. Once Williams gets healthy, he would give Lawrence a true #1 guy who has the potential to become elite.

No thank you on moving up from 33 unless it's just a couple spots. I think Watson has a chance to be there and his potential is as high or higher than any WR in this draft. I think the our 3rd rounders is where we need to move up from. Could get a Watson and then move up for a guy like McBride would put the offense to the next level for Trev

It cost much more to move up into the 1st than any other round because that 5th year option.

I like Watson, but I'm not sure there isn't a run at WR at the bottom of the 1st.

15.  Philadelphia
16.  Philadelphia
17.  L.A. Chargers
18.  New Orleans
19.  Philadelphia (from Indy)
20.  Pittsburgh
21.  New England
22.  Las Vegas Raiders
23.  Arizona
24.  Dallas
25.  Buffahole
26.  Tennessee
27.  Tampa Bay
28.  Green Bay
29.  Miami (From SF)
30.  Kansas City
31.  Cincinnati
32.  Detroit (from L.A. Rams)

Assuming they don't deal for Watson, I could see the Eagles take a WR with one of those three picks, to pair with the Alabama WR they took last year and to replac Jaelen Reagor from the year before.

I think the Chargers are okay at WR and likely won't take one at 17.  I think Pittsburgh won't go WR in the first, even though they are losing JuJu.
New England never seems to get WR right.  They could certainly use an upgrade at WR, but Belichick seems to value defensive players more.  I could see the Patriots needing a WR but taking a CB or DB at 21.

The Raiders could use a WR or a CB.

Arizona places a heavy emphasis on WR, and are likely to lose AJ Green and has lost Kirk.  Despite them trading Cooper, Dallas is still largely set at WR.  They could actually trade back considering their cap situation and the idea that Jerry Jones likes to try to look smart.

The Bills are okay at their top 3 WR spots.  I think they go elsewhere.

Tacks could still go WR because they seemed to swing and miss on the Julio Jones trade.  But they could also use help along the Oline, as their Ts have declined dramatically over the past coule of years.

Tampa is still pretty good at WR though they lost Antonio Brown.  But I could see them go IOL considering they lost Marpet and Cappa.

Green Bay is largely set at WR even though Adams has said he refuses to play under the franchise tag.  Generally speaking, they don't invest first round picks at WR.

At 29, Miami could use a WR opposite last year's rookie from Alabama, but it seems OL should be a bigger priority for them.

KC could go WR, but it seems to me they could use more defense.

Cincinnati is loaded at WR, but could go TE since they lose Uzomah to the Jets.

WR is less of an issue after the Chark signing, though the small size of the deal suggests they could still go WR.

After going through the list, there seems a decent chance a good WR could fall to us at 33.

I still doubt Baalke's ability to identify a WR at that spot.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Not sold at all on Kirk or Jones. I like Engram a lot, but he must remain healthy. I expect very little from Etienne. He's coming off one of the most serious foot injuries a skill player can have. I have yet to see a player return from such an injury, 100%. I hope he does, but I'm skeptical. I'll believe it when I see it.

According to the trade value chart that the NFL uses, our 2nd and 3rd rounder would be more than enough to move up to around pick #20, because they are the first picks of each round.

I definitely think Philly takes a WR. 

The Raiders might take a WR, but I think they go defense first. Especially if either Devin Lloyd or Nakobe Dean are on the board. 

Arizona could definitely go WR, but they also have a huge need for a pass rusher. They could go either way. It's 50/50. I have them taking DE/OLB George Karlaftis. 

I disagree about the Bills. They have very little needs and could go after Beasley's replacement here just to make that offense even more powerful. I see them taking Dotson. 

Tennessee could definitely go WR, but they have a need on the O-Line too. Like Arizona, they could go either way here, 50/50. I have them taking OT Trevor Penning. 

I think Tampa goes CB to play opposite Carlton Davis or even interior O-Linemen to replace Cappa or Marpet. 

Green Bay is far from being set at WR. Even if they re-sign Adams, they have a very weak surrounding cast. Rodgers just makes them look better. I still think they go defense though.

Miami could go WR, but I believe they go OT. I have them taking Bernhard Raimann. 

Cincinnati still needs a Center and a LT. I believe all the top LT's will be gone, but if Zion Johnson is on the board, I have them taking him. He played Center during Senior Bowl week. 

I see Detroit taking a chance on a surging QB like Desmond Ridder. He can develop behind Goff. 

I have Drake London to Atlanta. Jameson Williams to the Jets. Garrett Wilson to Philadelphia. Chris Olave to the Pats. Jahan Dotson to Buffalo and that leaves table scraps for us at #33. If we stay at #33 I'd rather have us taking TE Tre McBride over reaching for a receiver.

You need 3 WR's. Dotson can play the slot or on the outside.

He had 102 rec for 1200 yds in 2020 with trubiski does that help?

I prefer getting younger guys that are capable of the same, not really sweating it. I cheer for the logo, not the dude wearing it.
