SECOND FA WAVE POSSIBILITIES: 10 WHO MIGHT WORK WITHIN OUR $

[captain stone]

Plan B he trades #23 to get into that 2nd round territory BOB is in Fan base trouble in Houston with "0" first round picks.

I would trade #23 for Houston's #40 and #57 and maybe throw in one of our 6ths as the Texans have none in that round.

Thoughts?

No feckin way I trade #23 + one of our 6th-rounders for only 40 + 57...unless a 2021 Day 2 pick is also included...

Predicting where the 33 best remaining NFL free agents will land Predicting where the 33 best remaining NFL free agents will...

Behind a pay wall, but if you don’t have The Athletic already it’s well worth the money, IMO.

Kamalei Correa, Edge, Titans (26)
Signs with: New England Patriots

“The Patriots lost Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy and could use an athletic, versatile linebacker. Correa earned a larger role down the stretch last season and had seven sacks in the Titans’ final 11 games, including the playoffs.”

Correa is the only player that they predict will go to the Patriots. I forgot about him. He does seem like a patriot type free-agent pickup. They predict Wolfe to the Chiefs and Shelby Harris to the Titans, neither of which would make me happy.

Biggest Potential Bargains in 2020 NFL Free Agency

“Like several bargain-bin options, Kamalei Correa had limited roles in previous seasons. Aside from his 2016 rookie term, he's avoided injury but served as a backup. The Boise State product has started 13 out of 54 contests.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Correa in the second round of the 2016 draft, but he didn't make an impact until arriving in Tennessee via trade. Over the last two years with the Titans, the 6'3", 241-pound edge-rusher has 8.5 sacks—the third-most on the team in that span.

During the 2019-20 campaign, Correa found his pass-rushing groove down the stretch, registering at least one sack in six of his last eight games, which accounts for postseason action. Even more telling, the Titans increased his snap count on defense between Week 17 and the AFC Championship Game.

With more time on the field, Correa showed he could apply pocket pressure and finish the job with sacks. The fourth-year veteran's production has yet to match his second-round draft pedigree, but he's worth a modest deal for his contributions on the edge.

Although he profiles as a situational defender, Correa could become a solid component to a fierce pass rush. He played 39 percent of the snaps on defense in 2019. If the high-motor pocket-pusher sees an uptick in play count, we could see him reach new statistical highs.”

Correa would be a nice addition.
I wished we could afford Phillips..

I believe bb will draft a center in this draft.

the two best, Ruiz and crushenberry will be gone by the third round, but Hennessy from temple blakitz from Wisconsin should be.

I think Ruiz and Cush are top 40-50 picks. Wouldn't be shocked if the Cowboys or someone grabbed a little sooner. I have 2nd on Hennessey.

Packers not Patriots

OJ, This is a funny Draft class. The first part of the first round seems like "play now" guys. The second tier seems to extend from the middle of Round one to the top of Round three. After that is a crapshoot and no one exceeds the next guy in value sufficiently.

Still believe that BB dumps his picks to move up as Plan A. The end of Round three is O.K. but no guarantees. If that is the case he is going QB hunting. The bar is set so low for the Pats now, they might as well dip their feet in. The Fan base might even buy into this move.

Here are the possibilities: He has to wait until the Lions pick before he throws down his cards. If the Phins smell a big move they will offer the 5th pick and 26th pick in the first round to the Lions for the 3rd pick and perhaps a Lions 4th (pick #109) back. The Phins can go two ways. They can then take Tua or wait on the 5th picks and take either Tua if available or Herbert.

We go get the Giants pick at a cost through Judge. It would be a haul of picks for the new Giants regime. But they have their QB. It will cost us plenty but if BB smells franchise actual TB replacement not named Stidham, he might bite.

Why the Giants? Because the Lions pick is too costly at #3. Judge can use a plethora of Draft picks.

You could package #23 in the first and your three 3rd rounders (two were comp picks remember) at 1,123 points. PLUS it might cost you 2021 first round pick (ouch). This gets us to near 2,200 points for the 4th pick in the Draft. If Josh and BB think the TB guy is there this year, take a shot. Josh should have a key input as a possible BB replacement sooner rather than later. He wants to anoint the QB....NOW.

Cousins, first round picks on the Pats are usually tradable fodder so what the hell.
We have enough trade wampum in Rounds 4-7 to move up some if there is a gotta-have-em guy.

We again should have a load of Comp picks in 2021. The first-rounder loss hurts but does not put us in Draft hell.
Or do we gamble we can get Lawrence in 2021?.....Nyet!

If Tua or Herbert come through that door now was it worth it?

Regarding the bolded, it's really no different from any other draft.

5-15 really good players. Then there's not a huge difference between 15/20 & 50.

Then after the 4th it's a crapshoot.

I don't few this one different.

there are only about 15-16 guys in this draft that I have a first round grade on in this draft.
But the next 50 guys all have really similar grades.

plan a works if bb is targeting an important position like qb or edge rusher and he sees an opportunity to get that player!

plan b works if bb has identified some players in the next 50 that can contribute in our scheme and make our team better!

It’s all about how the draft plays out, is every year,

Yeah cousin maybe I jumped the gun a bit on turning down that trade, because in your case we get to keep all of our 3rd-rounders, whereas in one particular example...

...we have to trade both 23 + 98 to Indy (so they can draft Justin Herbert) for #s 34 + 44...

It may be time to get the Giants on the phone and determine the price for Engram. Given his inability to stay healthy over the past years, they may be able to get him at a reasonable price. It would be a risk for the patriots as well, of course, but the upside is substantial. It seems wise to give a young quarterback a high quality receiving option at tight end, as a safety valve.

Evan Engram Trade Rumors: Giants to Test Market, Don't Think TE Can Stay Healthy

I would give up one of our compensatory 3rd and maybe a 5th year that turns into a 4th if he is active for at least 13 games? With the anticipated compensation picks for 2021, the Pats could afford it.

I agree with you. If he stays healthy he can be dynamic.

I don't do twitter. Who isn't included in the $1.785M of available cap room? Is Calhoun? OTC seems close at $1.442M without Calhoun. Obviously Miguel is the best. OTC often is missing something. But they are close.
