You're paying Ferrell $20m and not Chase Young?

Ah that makes sense, but if Chase balls out this year. I rather give him that 20m than all of those guys

Would draft Guyton or Kingsley with first pick, Malachi Corley with another and maybe Jaheim Bell TE with the 3rd rd pick. OL is most important need after free agents sign

Got it. I like the idea of trading back. I'm still several months away from diving into the players. But I really don't understand bringing Ferrell back. I felt like we've had better production from cheaper players. Not a fan at all.

Couple of things that stand out. Love the idea of getting Sneed. Would be a great start to the offseason to get a true impact player in FA. In the draft, it's time IMO to fix either the OL or secondary first this year instead of the d line. A new center, OT or FS has to be a higher priority. Like the players you picked, but not the order. Great job late with some great value picks in Rice, Pratt, Linton and Knox. Nice mock.
