As it is, there are too many drive-changing calls by officials either out of position or tasked with watching a complicated play at high speed. And before we slide down the "well that will just mean DBs will tackle WRs once they are beat" slope...that basically never happens in college. We'll be fine. |

Defensive pass interference has changed too many games late. How many games have been won because of a ticky tacky call that changed the field? It's a good move. The offense has gotten an insane amount of advantages in the last few years, it's time for the defense to get a bone tossed their way, and this helps.

Yeah I’m a huge fan of that. I do wonder if you can’t let officials call a “major” that is spot of foul in obvious cases of deliberate interference, but given how bad the officiating has been over the last few years simpler might be better.

I am in favor of this change, but I think that it's a close call.
The level of skill in NFL DBs and WRs makes the college comparison of limited utility. You will have some NFL DBs who are good enough that they will be able to tailor their game and play more aggressively on deep balls than they currently do.

Lions tag Ezekiel Ansah.
Probably the right move. He's not consistently elite, but he can get you 10+ sacks when he's on. Pressure is so important in the NFL, that you can't just let that walk in exchange for a compensatory pick. |

Maybe you make DPI a 15 yd penalty and the offense gets an untimed down? I dunno. Trying to think outside the box.

I love Darnold to death, but I'm pretty sure if I'm the Browns and you told me I could get Barkley #1 and Rosen #4 I would do that in a heartbeat. Barkley is unreal.

Rosen is probably going to leave the combine in a much better opinion than people thought. The "bad teammate" rumors are funny because they've essentially turned into a "unnamed sources" who say he's a bad teammate, vs his actual teammates who love him.

Most mock drafts have the Colts taking Chubb at #3. Who knows what Chris Ballard is thinking though. I don't think we'll really know until we see where the Colts throw cash in free agency.

Last four runningbacks to be drafted anywhere in the top 3:
Trent Richardson - 2012 - 3rd Reggie Bush - 2006 - 2nd Ronnie Brown - 2005 - 2nd Ki-Jana Carter - 1995 - 1st |

Agreed. Richardson did 25 reps and was a 4.45 at 227 pounds. He had just as much hype as Barkley. Bush was the next Gayle Sayers. Taking a RB number 1 overall would be Cleveland thing to do. They didn't go 0-16 because they couldn't run the ball. Last edited by Atocep : 03-03-2018 at 08:39 PM. |

Bennett trade probably means Vinny Curry will be out the door... not sure how much of an upgrade that is.
Btw, as much as the increased salary cap and rollover rules help teams trade more, I also think the push towards yearly roster bonuses instead of initial signing bonuses helps much more Michael Bennett Contract Details, Salary Cap Breakdowns, Salaries, Bonuses | Spotrac |

Alec Ogletree to the Giants for a 4th + a 6/7 swap. Good deal for the Giants as they've seemingly needed LB's for a decade now. Moving good players (Robert Quinn to Miami too) because they don't fit a 3-4 never seems like great long term strategy, but Rams needed to clear some cap space anyways.

Unfortunately for the Giants, they're now moving to a 3-4. I've seen some really bad clips of Ogletree that make it seem like his reputation is well above his play (at least from a consistency POV).

I'm trying to figure out the Rams' gameplan here. I knew they weren't tagging Trumaine Johnson again, so the Peters deal was a great move to get them a top cover corner. They still have Nigel Robey-Coleman, who was surprisingly good. And Kayvon Webster (although he's really just a backup type abd I expect he will miss some of the next seaso with an Achilles injury). Then they sign injury-riddled Sam Shields and trade for Talib (is he still good?). And that is besides tagging Lamarcus Joyner at S. No idea what the plan is.

Talib was good when he played in Wade Phillips system before I thought.. So they might squeeze a year out of him.

Apparently Shields is being signed for the veteran minimum. He is a classic case of low risk, high reward if he works out. Joyner being tagged at S was due to his performance last year. I believe PFF had him rated as the #2 safety in the league last year and another spot had him ranked as the #51 player in the entire NFL last year. NRC is really a slot corner, everything I read about him does not rank him highly on the outside. I do not know the difference between a slot and outside corner (I figure if you can cover, you can cover so what is the difference), so I will take their word on it. So their starting secondary is: Talib and Peters at CB (top 5 in the league easily) and Joyner and Johnson at S (Johnson played very well as a rookie). That is a top 5 secondary right there, plus you have NRC at the slot, and Webster and Shields off the bench. That is a top group of starters with great backup core. They are competing with the Eagles and the Vikings for conference supremacy, along with the Niners who will be better with a full year of Garrapolo under center. All of them will have very good passing attacks. It makes sense to have a great secondary. My question is what are they doing at LB? I understand getting rid of Ogletree or Quinn, but both at the same time is questionable. Who are they getting to replace them? The only returning starter as of right now is Barron. |

So do the Browns still take a QB with their top picks? Or do they build around Tyrod Taylor? Perhaps they draft Barkley and trade the other pick.

The smart play would be to trade out of 1 to whoever wants a QB or Barkley the most and then see what falls to them at 4. If they could get Chubb and and either Fitzpatrick, James, or Ward (with the pick that get for #1) that would be a hell of job filling holes in that roster. |

The Browns could probably use a bridge QB and give at least one kid a year to develop without putting the entire organization on his shoulders. That said, they've TRIED to bring in bridge QBs before, and somehow the 6th string rookie development project is still starting games come mid-season.
