    I wonder if Kaepernick gets signed this year after getting ousted last year? think Kaepernick would be a better option as a backup than RG3 personally.

    i'd take kaepernick over rg3 too.

    funny you brought up kaep because my buddy did the same thing when i texted him and told him the ravens had signed rg3. i guess it makes sense because they're similar style QBs

    i don't think kaepernick will get signed but i sure hope he does....

    looks like you'd prefer for them to go defense in the 1st round.

    you don't think they should use their first pick to get jimmy i'ma G some help after all that $$$ they invested in him?

    They did, they paid big $ for a one of the better centers in the league and they got McKinnon. The type of players Shanahan needs for his system they can get later in the draft. I think the 1st round is where you go get skilled position players to stop the pass.
    Pass Rusher
    Corner

    I value position in football as follows.
    QB✓
    Pass Rusher- Need
    CB- need
    LT- weak LT draft class.
    interior line- got a Center, and only guard is Nelson but he should be gone by 9.

    The rest of the position can be had in later rounds or late 1st.

    @Heisenberg that's a great ranking as far as which positions are most important in football. personally, i think it'll be hard for the 9ers to pass on Saquon IF he's somehow still available at 9......but we'll see.

    the vikings need offensive lineman. i really like the kirk cousins addition, but i'm worried about our line. but slick rick spielman has done a good job of drafting lately.......so hopefully that continues. we need a guard and/or tackle!

    I see Barkley going to Denver at the earliest. Bucs make the most sense to me. They have their QB and a top WR, so I can see them adding Barkley to have their 3 corner stone offensive weapons.
    I don't believe Shanahan and Lynch would take any RB that high. Shanahans dad, Mike Shanahan realized you can constantly find successful RBs late in the draft with a Zone Blocking scheme. Terrell Davis a 6th rounder, Orlandis Gary a 4th, Mike Anderson 6th, Clinton Portis was the highest drafted RB by Mike Shanahan as a 2nd rounder.
    Kyle Shanahan had success with Steve Slaton a 3rd and Arian Foster undrafted in Houston, Alfred Morris 6th rounder in Washington. Devonta Freeman was a 4th, and Tevin Coleman was a 3rd in Atlanta.
    Finally in SF, 2nd rounder Hyde had his best season and Matt Breida played very well and was undrafted. But Shanahan didn't draft Hyde, and felt he could get better production from Mckinnon so he let Hyde walk.

    It's just not Shanahans history to grab a RB in the 1st. They will draft one in the later rounds for sure. I can see them taking 2 RBs. Someone like Kalen Ballage in the 3rd. I think Rashad Penny will be a great pickup but I think he goes in the 2nd round. But if he falls to the 3rd I hope SF takes him. And then a later pickup like Chase Edmonds between 5-7 rounds, or Jarvion Franklin 6th or undrafted.

    Holy s---, Dez cut by Dallas..I didn't see that one coming, @Enigma was there rumors or talk of this or was this a total shock to Cowboys fans? Maybe I haven't been paying attention.

    Nevermind just heard its apparently not the least bit surprising lol, I guess considering his contract and play not being the same I should have been less surprised than I was..

    Not a shock at all. Shocking that they didn’t ask him to take a pay cut tho, as many had predicted. Makes no sense to wait until mid April to cut him if you weren’t planning on some sort of pay cut. Stupid decision that is ONLY justified if they plan on using their savings (only 8 million, mind you) to pursue a big name *cough* Earl Thomas *cough*.

    Seattle doesn’t have a 2nd or 3rd round pick, and it’s unclear if they would be able to/want to extend Thomas after this season. So, the Cowboys offer their 2nd rounder for Earl and use the Dez savings to extend him. Cowboys will likely make that offer, depends on if the Seahawks will accept (they wanted at least a 1st rounder for Earl).

    If they aren’t planning on making a move with this new money, Dallas front office are idiots and have wasted Dez’, and their own, time.

    Edit: it was likely already, but Dallas will certainly add a WR in the draft within the first two rounds. If they draft Courtland Sutton, I’m ripping my hair out.

    @Riley they did ask him to take a pay cut, but he declined. i didn't think he'd get cut, but i'm certainly not shocked because there's been rumors about it for the last month or longer and his production has clearly declined

    Nahhh. I think We're solid at WR already with Alshon, Agholor, Wallace,and Hollins. We'll probably draft a young guy to round it out. It would be hilarious though.

    I dont think any team will sign him in the east tbh. I see him with the Packers for some reason
