You may be giving him a kind grade.Izzo’s blocking has been inconsistent, not bad.
It would have been much easier to draft a TE, no?
I’m confused. Didn’t you just say you would give up 4 premium draft picks for Howard & Godwin? Now you’re saying you would only give up a 3rd rd comp pick for Howard? So, you’re telling me you would give up a 1st, and two 2’s for Godwin, and you’re going to criticize this dude for calling Howard top 5?! I’ve gotta be missing something here.
1. Zero chance that either Godwin or Golladay are available. They are both developing into stars and their cap numbers are both under 1 million for next year. Can we try to stick to realistic options? This is just dumb.
2. Gesicki sucks.
3. Davis has potential to break out when given a better quarterback situation but they do not need potential right now. They need an established veteran who has the possibility to step in and contribute right away. Can never rule out something coming out of left field with BB but these are by far the most likely options:?
Diggs
Sanders
Sanu
Keenan Allen....never thought about him until the 98.5 caller threw him into the mix. If SD loses this weekend, they may be willing to deal him for a 1 or a 2 + 4. He would be perfect for this offense. He has an injury history but I was surprised to see that he is still only 27 years old.
Can we also STOP dismissing these options because of lack of salary cap space. It’s so annoying. They currently have $3.7 million in cap space. At most the prorated space needed in order to acquire one of the above would be less than 8 million, I believe. That is achievable without much difficulty.
Separate issue. Both are importantHaving a shorter field by 5 yards isn't going to mean diddly squat if team can't block to get run going or score more pts in RZ, both of which Watson can help with.
N'Keal Harry, Isaiah Wynn could give Patriots welcome boost2. Trade suggestion -- Bennett for Sanu: Ever since the Patriots couldn't close the deal on free-agent targets Adam Humphries (receiver/Tennessee Titans) and Jared Cook (tight end/New Orleans Saints) in the offseason, the club has been searching for solutions to no avail (e.g., Antonio Brown and Benjamin Watson). So playing the role of esteemed colleague Bill Barnwell, who annually comes up with intriguing trade possibilities, here's one that came to mind for me: veteran defensive end Michael Bennett to the Falcons for receiver Mohamed Sanu.
When the Patriots traded for Bennett in March, they were more of a 4-3 defense, but the exceptional play of linebacker Jamie Collins and nose tackle Danny Shelton -- both signed after Bennett was acquired -- has morphed them back to more of a 3-4. So Bennett isn't as much of a fit, and his declining playing time in recent weeks reflects that. Meanwhile, the Falcons are coming off a 53-32 loss to the Texans, need defensive help, would be dealing from a position of strength at receiver (Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are still there), and head coach Dan Quinn has a background with Bennett from their time together in Seattle. It could be a win-win for both clubs.
I’m puzzled on why they cut Watson. Even for an old player he has got to be (much) better than Izzo. Our OL needs to not play like total ****.
It makes sense if the Falcons win three straight games and try to make a second half run toward a playoff spot. In the more likely scenario where they’re 2-6 at the trade deadline and Quinn is either fired or about to be, then they’re only going to want future assets, not present assets.

Plz don’t let it be sanu. We already have a possession wr in Gordon.
Gordon is not a possession receiver. If Sanu or Sanders can give us a presence on the inside, that would be great.
Sanu hardly gets separation.
