choco Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 44 minutes ago, The Gipper said: Except, of course, it is a fair observation. Nevertheless...what Z says makes a lot of sense. Pick up proven guys at those spots of need: DT/DE. That then opens up the draft to take the best guy you can get, regardless of position. Which means don't be surprised if we go WR/OT/DB. Or if the Browns trade up for that killer LB we may still be looking for. DT was a position of strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 4 minutes ago, choco said: DT was a position of strength? Yes, I believe many said that the DT position was a strong one this year in the draft. There are at least 6 DTs or DT/DEs listed among the Top 25 draft prospects: Williams of Alabama Gary of Michigan Oliver of Houston Wilkins of Clemson Lawrence of Clemson Dremont Jones of Ohio State. In addition at least 4 other players are considered Top 25 edge rushers: Bosa OSU Sweat Mississippi St. Allen Kentucky Burns FSU So....theoretically 10 of the Top 25 draft picks could turn out to be players on the DL. Plus you have ILBs Devin White and Devin Bush So almost half of all the top picks could be Defensive front 7 players. Plus just behind the top 25 you have guys like Simmons of Miss. St. Tillery of ND, and Ferguson of La. Tech...... So, half of the entire first round could be front 7 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Former Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray intends to sign a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter Tuesday, spelling the end of the Mark Ingram era in The Big Easy. Before the Vikings drafted running back Dalvin Cook in 2017, Murray joined the team in free agency as the expected heir-apparent to Adrian Peterson. As noted, Mark Ingram apparently out as Kamara's running mate in N.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Texans add S Gipson after Mathieu exit The Houston Texans will be signing safety Tashaun Gipson, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini. Gipson, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on March 8 as part of the team's effort to create salary-cap space, started all 48 games since joining the team and had six interceptions and 16 pass breakups. Texans likely add another Gipson....to their fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 And, in other news: Patriots tender WR Gordon The New England Patriots have placed an original-round tender on suspended/restricted free-agent WR Josh Gordon ($2.025 million). This counts against the team's salary cap. So if Gordon is ever reinstated by the NFL, he would be looking at a one-year, $2.025 million contract. Technically, another team could sign him to an offer sheet, and if the Patriots didn't match it, the club would receive a second-round draft pick in return because that's the round in which Gordon entered the NFL. But draft-pick compensation, and financial terms of a contract, are naturally secondary to Gordon's health and well-being at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
