I think Jones or Prince Tega could move into guard. 
 

I think someone trades up for Jones pretty quick 

I wouldn’t doubt tackles start coming off the board early, agreed.

The tide is Nigh

 

We will select Grant Delpit

Allocation of resources. He is on a different level, but I view our DT spot as a B+ or A-. Improving it to an A+ is nice, but it is not a priority when we have nothing at LB, S, or DE opposite Garrett.

I disagree with the bolded. The expectations for for our DTs was to be a B+ or A- group  I don’t think that’s how it played out. Richardson was good but he probably is gone after this season, Ogunjobi was disappointing and so was the guy who looked awesome in the preseason and ended being cut can’t think of his name right now. Long term a disruptive 3tech is as much of a need as the other slots listed.

The only question I have about resource allocation is can we pay him big money and still pay the guys already on the roster that will be looking for an extension

I really just don’t want JK Dobbins to end up in Pittsburgh or Baltimore today.

Having to watch Joe burrow in Cincinnati and Dobbins one of those other places would be brutal.

I feel like the only real hope is Miami to take him. They seem primed for a RB in RD2 to pair with Tua its just a matter if they take Swift or Dobbins

Houston or Chicago could be other possibilities I guess. I’m also not sold on Ronald Jones being the guy with TB. They could really solidify that offense.

I would suggest using picks to trade up if needed to get a game changer.

Agree.

Schefter said yesterday that a season with no fans in the stands could drop the 2021 cap by $70-80 million, which would put it in the $125 million range. I don’t know how that’s possible.

 

If God forbid that happens, we’d be 25 million over. As scary as that sounds, we’d actually be in the best cap shape out of the entire league. We’d have to get rid of Sheldon (10 mil) and probably OBJ or Landry (15 mil).

So what do those guys do? Just not play? because if we couldnt afford to keep them and we have the best space out of everybody--how would anybody else be able to afford them?

The players would have to agree to a percentage of their salary lowered.

No idea

 

But it wouldn’t shock me if we drafted a WR tonight.

1.) It's been noted that the "Drop in Revenue from Tickets or fan purchases in stadiums" is going to be thoroughly offset by increase Online and TV-share revenue such that the new ways of revenue may out-pace or replace the butts in the seats revenue.

2.) Apparently, the CBA has a provision for catastrophe which includes agreed upon player/executive salary reductions tied to reduction in revenue and cap; however, it defers loss in player salaries into a deferred payment structure that may be subject to litigation regarding the interest that may or may not accrue on deferred/loss salaries. This prevents the over-the-cap out of nowhere due to catastrophe example.

3.) The Owners and Ownership Groups money is protected 1st by all the other revenue sources/avenues publicized (citizen/tax-payer/government subsidy, advertising/business partnerships, brand tied revenue) and unpublicized (i.e., contract/construction deals, etc) such that when they cry "we're going broke" the loss in revenue is still a net increase in moneys that most people can't imagine in a lifetime.

4.) Even in the most unrealistic scenario in a world where the sport continued, but no one watched TV or Online or bought anythng and each NFL Team had Zero Dollars in profit. 1 Billion Dollars is 1,000 Million Dollars. NFL Owners and Ownership groups have multiple Thousands of Millions of dollars at their disposal. That is enough capital to pay for decades upon decades of player and executive salaries and still have Thousands of Millions of Dollars left over.
