Nie breakdown. And I think you should change that to say you hope Foster is on the field next to Warner

I'm not sure how, but people are saying there's a real chance he gets out with no suspension at all

Nice breakdown Nef, you know what I didn't even think about the time of the Press conference, they can't have had a guy they wanted, but you'd have thought they'd wait.

I've got a sneaky feeling on DJ Reed being a stud for us, love his make up, reminds me of Colbert, been overlooked somewhat in his life and desperate to prove everyone wrong.

Right, had we done the same thing last season, Foster would be in New Orleans right now with Lattimore and Kamara. What a class that would've been.

Baltimore traded 52, 125 and a 2019 2nd round pick to get 32 and 132. Obviously we held a presser because we were done for the day at that point.


Idk why we are harping on Landry, I wanted the kid too but it did not happen. Maybe we were not that high on him like most fans were, or maybe his medical scared us.

Agreed evil, no way would I have given up future picks to get a guy who fell anyway.

Nice post Nef. Well written.

Man if someone from the future told us before the draft we would have a notre dame linemen and a nc state passrusher we would all be jumping for joy lol. That said I do like the McGlinchey pick even if my initial reaction was luke warm.

I think he was saying we could have gotten Landry for the same compensation as Pettis. So would you rather have a real LEO who'll start out in nickel or Pettis, a swing-WR who might be worked into a starting role down the road like Landry?

Landry would have to earn the LEO job in sub packages as it would not be handed to him, no more than Pettis having to earn his snaps at WR.

And we cannot discuss the decision to move up for Pettis as opposed to Landry without mentioning that their seemingly were medical concerns surrounding HL.

Exactly...same concept as Pettis. He's going to have to earn snaps from Goodwin, Taylor, Garcon, Bourne and Kittle, McKinnon and Juice in various packages. No different than Landry competing with two journeymen in Marsh and Attaochu. That only validates the OP's point.

The medical concerns were debunked by Peter Schrager on GMF but I don't know how accurate his sources are. He fell about 30 picks more than expected so perhaps there was a big enough medical concern for some teams.

He was still the second ER off the board as expected.

3rd. Saints moved up for Davenport, of which I better not see anyone say was a reach or a bad move; a professional made that move and we need three years before we judge it.

I just LOVE it when people come on and assess what should have been done AFTER the draft was done. They way all the trades, players, value picks and crucify the GM.

I personally was baffled how a OT was not a top need, with TB in his contract year and Staley 33 years old?? Apparently the FO felt the same way and prioritized OT. I also read that the reason Dak Prescott fell of is not because of losing Ezekial, it was because his start LT was hurt, which afffected the running game and passing game.

I feel that Lynch and Shannahan have a plan, they have 6 year contracts that give them enough ?FU money to be brave. They are building the team around Jimmy G, sit back and watch.

So are you sitting back and watching, or actively suggesting action from others?
