Would absolutely love to add Fashanu or Alt to this OL room, but you're going to need probably a top 5-8 pick to do that. With this schedule, I see no way that Love progresses and we end up with a pick in that range. Be different if we had the Niners, Eagles, Bills coming up. From now until seasons end the Chiefs and Lions are really the only two games I could say, we could play really good ball and still lose. The rest are wins if we play well. To get a top pick, Love ain't the guy, and I'm certainly not rooting for that. So I'm going to keep hoping for progression and wins. There is also Alabama OT J.C. Latham as a pick, who some prefer to Alt. He might be a better run blocker, though he isn't 6'8", like Alt is, Latham is listed as 6'6", 326.

Bama has him at 360 right now, think he'll be red flagged on our board until the Combine, and if he's still 360, don't think he makes our board. They'll take a gamble on a UDFA like Jones that he can lose the weight, but not a 1st rounder. He needs to weigh in at 330-340 in Feb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst would be to to finish 8-9 or 9-8 and miss the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdpackfan22 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 How's the RB class this year? Wouldn't mind taking a dynamic one in the 2nd round if one is available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 WE need: 2 - O lineman minimum 2 - safeties 1 - run stuffing NT 1 - slot CB 2 - RBs 1 - deep threat. Thinking three of those can come via free agency. The RB's can come round 4-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old outdated thinking to just toss late picks at the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just for the sake of debate, do you plan on getting rid of both Jones and Dillon? Aaron Jones would have a $17M cap hit next year, $12M dead cap. If he plays next year, he'll have a $6.6M dead cap in 2025. You MIGHT be able to get his contract number down a few million to $13-14M. Dillon, on the other hand, has had a rough year. Let's say he signs a Jamal Williams type of deal in the offseason, $4M/year Honestly, I'm not sure I get rid of either. Cutting Jones to save a few million feels dumb. And I'm not sure how much I'm going to upgrade Dillon at that price range. I know i posed this question in a different thread, but i'm curious to hear peoples thoughts. RB seems to be a weird spot where you don't want to let both of your guys go, but you also don't want to spend a high draft pick replacing guys, especially if the goal is to fix the OLine first.

No, I'd like to work out something to keep Jones. Dillon is gone. You need three guys who can play. You are going to have injuries, so you need two besides Jones to keep things moving forward if somebody gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones has limited leverage at 30 years old, so maybe you can get his base salary down from $11M to $6-7M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmansmell Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) I actually see RB as a decent FA proposition. Draft a guy in rounds two-four, and then figure out what the FA pool looks like. Swift/ Pollard/Jones seem comparable, hell what if we sold out for Henry? Jones and Henry for Bahk and some change (18- 21 million) doesn't seem that unpalatable honestly.
