oldman9er Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Edge rusher depth to make up for the two they lost to FA. No problem with that, though of course, do hope the numbers are reasonable. Ryan Anderson? you now have competition, and if either step up well, it could make letting Smith walk more palatable. (the following year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(the following year) I think letting Smith go would be a big mistake. He’s young bright and I don’t think he’s came close to peaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsean21 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 But can we get the Hankins news too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I like it. A couple seasons ago, prior to the injury issues that really plagued him, he was one of the very highest rated edge defenders in football per PFF. To the point that his 5/$39M deal was considered a tremendous bargain after his first season or two in CHI. Can’t expext him to get back to that level, but he’s a nice pass-rusher and definitely not a liability against the run. Game is kinda reminiscent of Murphy, actually, if I’m remembering (both of them) right. And he’s another guy who was released by his previous team, so he won’t count in the comp pick formula. They’re playing that pretty well. The only thing that causes me a little ambivalence is the fact that he’s probably not the pure pass-rusher that Galette was/is. More well-rounded, by a lot, but probably no longer a true terror screaming off the edge on 3rd down and long. Final judgment on the move depends on money of course, but it’s tough not to like it if the price was reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that doesn’t count against the team when it comes to comp picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can try and offer him an extension soon, but Smith will likely be very enticed into jumping at FA money-battles next offseason between teams.

So that doesn’t count against the team when it comes to comp picks? That’s right. And the same with Scandrick, for that matter. We will qualify for picks for all our guys who left at the end of their contracts (Cousins, Breeland, Murphy, Long, Grant, Galette, Pryor) — and only Paul Richardson thus far would cancel any of them out. I think there’s a max of 4 or 5 picks you can get in any draft, but we look to be in line to hit that. It’s really pretty shrewd management by them. Finally. The “play the comp pick game” drum has been getting banged in this forum for better than a decade. Especially now that those picks are tradeable, as I was recently reminded.

Eric Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Mcphee isn't bad, good signing. Should help run d also and give Anderson more time to develop. Really will come in handy if Kerrigan or Murphy miss time due to injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Draper Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 He was ok in Bmore. Murphy is a better player who will thrive in Buffalo 4/3 with Their other D linemen we dont have anyone who puts fear into other offenses as a pass rusher and We don’t have a NT. Maybe we will draft one of these at 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
