I watched his pro day in its entirety, setter, and I was decidedly unimpressed. It sort of reminded me why I was never hot for the QB's, Winston or Mariota, in the first place. The further removed we get from the college season, and the closer we get to the draft, I was starting to soften my position because I recognize the need for a franchise QB, and even though I still believe Geno has a chance, its not something we can rely on, so I felt myself softening on Mariota, and yesterday brought me back to where I was at the beginning, which is where you are now, hoping someone takes him ahead of us and it pushes another elite prospect down to us, maybe Fowler or Cooper.
We're not getting 12 and 19 for 6, but I could see us taking their 1st and 2nd for #6 and a future pick. To your point, we may have to trade our 1 and something else to get their 1 & 2.
Yes, because the extra 70 VP's is not chopped liver, like I said above, thats the equivalent of a 4, so they might want those VP's back if they give us #12 and #43 , but I think we can take a hardline on this one and get them to overpay by those 70 VP's, and I would seriously tell them its NO DEAL if they don't, that it doesn't make sense for us to trade down from 6 where we can snatch one of the Tier 1 prospects, down to 12 for Tier 2, unless they are willing to swallow those 70 VP's ... and its not a tactic, I would mean it.
Whats up with Kendrick Ellis?
He's a really good backup NT and I'd love to have him back. Is he an unrestricted FA or restricted?
If we don't bring him back, then we need another NT, because you can't just have one, so its smart to keep him.

glad he's out of the division.
Kendrick Ellis is unrestricted and reportedly has an offer from the jets but wants to see whats out there.
Thanks Supe, I really hope we can keep him.
Wait a minute, I forgot about TJ Barnes, 360 Pounds, thats a big man!
Haven't paid much attention to him, but are we cool if Ellis leaves and he's our backup nose tackle?

Don't know if its been posted, but Culliver has signed with the Redskins.

I love TJ Barnes. I'm fine with it.
Thanks Supe, that makes me feel better, now I'm not as worried about losing Ellis. It would still be nice to keep him, but at least I know we have a second NT who can play.

Bush on the Patriots. . Meh
Free agent RB Reggie Bush is visiting the Patriots today, per @FieldYates.
I saw Pats were talking g to Bush and Spiller early in free agency and I was hoping they'd end up with Bush over Spiller. I can live with this, but he is an upgrade over Vereen, IMO.

drew brees must be wondering what he heck the saints are doing. they've gotten rid of graham, stills and jahari evans and seem to be going into full rebuilding mode.
Imaging the Jets take an elite edge rusher at 6, and IMO this is a potential #1 ranked defense:
DE Mo Wilkerson
NT Snacks
DE Sheldon Richardson
==
OLB Dante Fowler (Gregory, Ray, Beasley or Dupree)
ILB David Harris
ILB Demario Davis
OLB Quinton Coples
==
CB Darrelle Revis (Milliner/McDougle/Williams)
SS Calvin Pryor (Allen/Jarrett)
FS Marus Gilchrist (Allen/Jarrett)
CB Antonio Cromartie (Milliner/McDougle/Williams)
NB: Buster Skrine
That has "dominant defense" written all over it.
