In the second round, I’d happily take Tuimoloau, Braswell or Sawyer.

I have a feeling one of Chop or Trice will fall into the second round, in which case I would use one of our thirds to trade up.

J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer are both headed back to Ohio State.

Half-a-dozen Buckeyes announced a couple weeks ago that they were returning to school in 2024.

The problem is that the linebacker position has been devalued over the years.

Not saying that I agree with it, but it appears that getting pressure on the quarterback and covering receivers are more important these days.

Maybe within our scheme recently, but teams like the Niners and Ravens still value their LBs. In addition to covering WRs, we need to cover TEs and RBs. Hoecht should not be running down field in man or in zone coverage, and when RBs catch a check down, we need guys that can get there quickly and not miss. We could have gotten the ball back against the Lions if Hoecht didn't whiff on Montgomery.

Trouble is that they’re going to ask for much more than that.

I don’t know if you noticed, but Josh Allen is upset with the Jags because he’s going into the final year of his rookie contract, and he has been trying to talk to them about an extension, but they have been unwilling to even talk to him. This for a man who led the league in sacks this year.

Yeah, the NFL changed to where TEs are the main weapons for many teams so cover LBs are critical and ones that can play pass and run are what can make a defense elite.

2023 was Allen’s fifth year option. He’s a UFA. Definitely will be tagged if new contract not agreed upon.

Question for everyone - would you trade for him knowing we would have to give up a lot of picks for him?
 
If the comp picks are maximum 4 and the Rams already have 4, then what happens to the extra comp pick we are getting for Morris leaving?
