The 2022 Offseason Thread

yeah he said 2 things of interest really regarding that 1st round pick

1) that he thought we were in good position between 14 and 20 to be able to get a pass rusher if they want one - maybe a subtle hint that they're probably going to look to trade out of that pick unless someone unexpected falls
2) that there's a group of guys that they've got high grades on who they're already fairly confident at least 1 of will be available

it's tough to guess before athletic testing but yeah i'd say sauce gardner's an obvious guy in terms of style, fit, measurables and tape - he very much fits the mould

EDC normally is able to predict who we'll pick before the draft - the higher the pick we have the easier it'll probably be for him to do that

all this really to say... i cant wait until the end of April - can't believe we've got 3 months to wait

I'd love to see a mock draft from EDC.
 
Wait... I though what Flores said had no merit? So what's with this conflicting statement? Also really like how they pick and choose what they stand for while colluding with Snyder to protect him from his misconduct with Women.

The NFL isn't different than other giant company. It'll protect it's execs at any cost. After the investigation they'll give some vaguely worded response about how they're better, maybe fire a low on the totem pole fall guy, and then move forward acting like the problem is completely gone.
 
Oh yeah another thing from EDC. Anyone that thought Marquise wasn't getting the 5th year option picked up now we've heard it from the horses mouth its definitely getting picked up. He said it so enthusiastically too. Makes you think he may also be thinking of a longer term deal for him.

I like how when EDC spoke on the rb situation he seemed to forget about Hill like most of us.

Hill has some value on special teams but I can easily see a late round or UDFA RB taking Hill's spot. Hill seems to have no vision. He uses that incredible speed to just run into blockers or straight into the defender.

He's really not worth mentioning. Can save close to $1M against the cap by moving on. He's 3rd or 4th on the depth chart at RB, his only real value is on ST (where we were fine in 2021 without him) and he's coming off a major injury.

Fairly easy cut in my eyes.

Well one major difference is most large companies are own by Stockholders, who if pissed off, will certainly fire executives at will. Most large companies have reasonable amounts of turnover in the C Suite. The only difference is those executives usually get lucrative payoffs to leave, in the form of stock options, bonuses, etc.

NFL owners really have nobody to answer to. Congress steps in every now and then when they have nothing better to do (which should never happen), like they are now with the Redskins, but NFL owners don't really report to anybody.

I think Florio posted an article this week on PFT questioning if its time that NFL teams became "publicly owned", via becoming publicly traded companies. It's pretty clear he doesn't quite understand how much Corporate greed is involved in publicly traded companies.

Its a total circular reference. All of these public morons calling for higher wages and various changes to corporate structure from large, publicly traded companies, are the same people reaping rewards from existing policies, mostly in the name of higher 401K balances, pensions, dividends, etc.

Total circular reference.

Anyone who denies Hollywood being a major key contributor is kidding themselves and letting personal bias get in the way because they’re mad about a play or two here or there.

ravens fans are ridiculous tbh. Clamor for us to draft a successful receiver for the first time in franchise history, and once we get one, he’s gotta go because he’s not aNqUaN bOlDiN. The guy is one of our cornerstone players straight up.

Similarly to Rossi I had him as WR1 that year and was losing my shit when we drafted him. I think we've honestly not done a lot to help him out or really maximize his output and despite that he's improved each year to the 1000 yard 90 catch level.

He's doing well for himself despite the type of offense we run. Imagine what he'll do if we get a line that can pass protect

I think he’s pretty firmly one of the best route runners in the league, he might not have the recognition as that, but he definitely is.
 
Imagine if we schemed Hollywood open like KC does with Hill.

Hollywood caught over 90 balls for over 1,000 yards with 3 QBs in a boring ass offense. He’s not going anywhere.

"...his only value is helping our new starting safety, Dax Hill, feel at home when we draft him. Let him crash on the couch for a few weeks and eventually take over the lease."

Fixed it for you.

Never understood the hollywood hate when there have been real inconsistency from other players on our team

Alright here's an idea. We all split up into groups, decide who is going to own what team, and bring the forum mock to the NFL and show these teams how it's done. Or we can just all put our money to together and just buy the Denver Broncos and fire John Elway.

As much as I love having Andrews on the team I swear he has disappeared in big games more often than Hollywood, but he doesn't get half the complaints.

He’s definitely one of the best separators - consistently creates more space than basically every other receiver in the league outside of tyreek hill, Stefon diggs and davante adams
