they have to say that - but they are clearly drafting a qb either at the 6th pick or trading up for one because there's no way they move into the new stadium with tyrod taylor as the starter lol - that would be the death knell of the franchise's ability to develop any buzz in LA

Rotoworld suggested that since they added Bulaga and Trai Turner in FA, both expected to play on the right side of the line, that they'll be hot on Tua.

Problem is... they're sitting there at #6. We know Burrow will be gone, and everybody expects Tua to go to the Dolphins, who also have done nothing at the QB position. So maybe they just sit there and take Herbert or whoever they have #3, or they move up to #2 or #3 to get Tua.

Part of me thinks all they'd need to do is just jump the Dolphins, but if you wanted to truly guarantee Tua, you'd have to come up to #2 and swap with the Skins.

Will be fascinating to watch. Maybe they don't even like Tua that match and just sit there and take the QB they want.

I don't think the Skins want to trade back to 6 and let the Giants end up with Chase Young. That would be a mistake if you ask me, but I understand they aren't one pick away. They are more like one generation away

Let's get

1- Cesar Ruiz
2- Justin Jefferson
2 Troy Dye
3- Terrell Lewis ( value at this point)
3-Shane Lemieux

Go on eric..make it happen

Cesar in the first, dye in the 2nd and lemieux with the 3rd round comp is good value! And I’m all for it.

I think Justin jefferson put himself into the 1st round with that combine workout.
Terrell Lewis stock is hard to judge. I can’t see a talent like his fall to the late 3rd for us though.

If Carl Lawson ( who was looking great before his injury) and Justin Houston can

he can

He did mention we was the first team that approached him at the senior bowl. If we wait til the 3rd round for a EDGE, I hope it’s him, Khalid Kareem, or Highsmith

Well Atlanta got Fowler. We better do something fast with Judon. Still holding out hope for Clowney. I don't want Judon at all anymore

Agree also, which makes that whole process more complicated. In a perfect world, Chargers probably sit until Detroit picks at 3, then offers up a 2nd rounder to move up. Detroit probably still gets a guy or two that they want at #6.

We live in a world where Seth Roberts was the first of our UFAs to sign elsewhere. Headed to Carolina per Rapoport.

Why don’t you want judon? I’m good with having him play under the franchise tag. A lot of people seem to want him gone prematurely. Like I rather keep judon then acquiring a 3rd round pick for him

there was some buzz pre-combine that the chargers and dolphins both really like herbert and obviously while Tua did get medically checked at the combine, the lack of pre-draft visits and medicals may well affect his stock negatively if there were any doubts arising from the combine medicals (nothing negative reported)

ive consistently thought that the dolphins would just make sure they got tua by trading up with the lions at 3 a bit like the bears swapping picks with the 49ers to make sure they got trubisky, it would take an absolute treasure trove of picks for washington not to take chase young at 2 according to most in the media so getting to #3 is probably high enough

either way im fully expecting burrow to the bengals and then tua/herbert to the dolphins and chargers - jordan love is the wildcard if a team falls in love with him

Make sense. He’s probably the best run blocking WR on the market. They’re going to run CMC into the ground.

His attitude rubs me the wrong way, horrible edge setter, and can't crack double digit sacks on a defense that blitzed more than anyone in the league. That 16 mill plus getting rid of Carr can net us someone nice (like Clowney), and we should get at least a 2 for Judon which leaves us with 3 2nd's that we can use to move up and pick an impact player year one. Watching Judon square up Henry one on one and whiffing for a 50+ yard run was the last straw for me. You don't pay someone 16 million for that.

Updates from FA signings:

Dante Fowler gets $16M/year from the Falcons... 3 years, $48M.
Leonard Floyd lands a 1 year, $10M deal with the Rams

Ravens have officially "lost" Seth Roberts, as he has signed with the Panthers.

I think the markets drying up. At this point, I wouldn’t mind just playing him under the tag. But i heard rumors Seahawks is interested in him. Would be crazy if judon was traded to them and we get clowney. His injury history scares the hell out of me though.

Yea but then Clowney isn't getting the deal he wants so he just might take Seattle's unless we trade Judon to them first. This is all assuming EDC is actually interested in Clowney lol. And with how much Wink rotates guys, we should keep him fresh, so hopefully that lessens the possibility of an injury. I'm just salivating over the thought of Clowney playing behind 1,000 pounds and letting him do his thing. I've just always been a huge Jadeveon fan but we'll see what happens

Also, if we do trade Judon and Clowney is gone, there's always Leonard Floyd who I really like. Another long, quick guy
