Lots will change from now and draft time but it's fun to start circling which players are playing good/looking good, liked by fans, etc. Edited November 17, 2021 by SimbaWho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I think this still leaves seriously thin at WR. Fuller has a worse injury history than Williams did this year and I wouldn't give him more than a 1 year 2 or 3M contract prove it deal. We would have to do more than that with WR to give Tua a chance. I dont mind the Tua deal but also don't love it. He is close enough to costing too much after next year vs what he has shown. Plus the injuries scare me. The D looks better and with hopefully improvement from young guys, would be a solid upgrade to an already improving group.

diehardlionfan Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I like the cuts. I like the draft. I like the Fuller, and Butler signings. I like the players you resigned for the most part. Im not a Tua fan but like the concept of replacing Goff. I would’ve liked to see another quality receiver taken in the draft. Kudos. When you do a mock it’s never a simple effort. Good job.

NFL_Fan Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I think wyatt gets a monster deal. and after browns game idk if id do that. (tho i did grab him in madden) Kayvon was trash vs Utah so idk rn how I feel about him. Love Lloyd. Almost wanna say he goes top 10. Dont want Fuller for a bag of chips No way I want Tua or Kevin King After this offseason I would say the team is about the same depeing on Kayvon. In madden I waited another year before trading trey and vatai. just hurt the cap so much with dead money unless there is a lucky time of year you can cut and have no dead money. and what did cornell do to you?? lol jk. Also hate TE in the 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hate TE in the 2nd. There is dead money but it's still a cap savings realeasing them vs keeping them. https://overthecap.com/player/trey-flowers/3949/ Sure Flowers still cost 12 million and change on the cap but he normally cost 23 million. That's a 10 million dollar savings. Releasing him and Viati I used there cap savings to go get Wyatt Teller. But if you feel like they're still solid players, and don't have quality use for the cap savings then I understand keeping him, playing out the deals and spending big money when you're ready to. It's not a bad strategy. Edited November 26, 2021 by SimbaWho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
