Tai Felton

Well, the cap concern is definitely legit if KAM drafting doesnt improve...

[Canthony]

Never too early to start hand wringing over the cap. Maybe QB on a rookie deal is not the panacea we thought it was? We still have Brian O'Neill due in 2027, Jordan Addison due in 2027. And I don't know how the hell we're going to pay Donovan Jackson AND Justin Jefferson AND JJ McCarthy when the time comes. Oh and don't forget Dallas Turner. We're fucked.

Kinda been the way I have been thinking. The first domino will be O'Neill. Maybe Jackson can play RT lol

If you can get past the fantasy angle and the fact that these guys are annoying as fuck, this has some good insight on Tai Felton.

As a team you are always looking to add more weapons for the QB. Nailor will be a free agent, and was picked in the 6th. We also only have Addison for a couple more years most likely. I said during the draft we seem to always hit on receivers lately. Felton has elite athleticism, good production with a not great QB, he ran all routes moving all over the field. If they were confident on him, and effectively stated they didn’t want to miss on picks, it means they are pretty high on him. I think we will end up really liking this pick. Whether just a KR or becoming our #3 or #4 wide receiver.

Lol.

Maybe Olson could install a sarcasm font for those slow on the uptake. 

(This is an example of passive aggressive)

I’d say we’re in pretty good shape for the next 4 years.

We really do need a sarcasm emoji....

Weve already lost 1 year of jjms cheap contract,  next year is most likely a throw away as he will be learing the pro game,  so that wondow is down to 3 years,   we arent going to want to trust the draft so we will need to be adding quality free agents along the way to keep the talent level high... is having cap space a guarantee with KAMs drafting track record?  There will be a lot of unforseen needs over the next few years... but fuck it,  lets throw away a chance at a higher quality player next year because we need a 3rd string RB in a season that isnt likely to produce a real high chance at a lombardi run.

I prefer 1st and 2nd rounders next year over lower tier guys,  we dont know,  we may need to package those picks next year to fill a real hole in the roster.  I just didnt like not having the ammo to move around this year and didnt want to fuck up next years draft.

Agreed. This fascination to some over the RB spot and needing to take one this year is head scratching to me. Why? And the team didn't address it via the Draft, so again its obviously not important to them. It was addressed by resigning Jones and trading for Mason. Easiest thing in the world is to find another RB in final cutdowns in late August to fill out the RB room. RB of the future? Take one high next year, excellent ones come every single Draft year.

Here's our RB for next year, CJ Baxter....or Jeremiyah Love....Justice Haynes....Makhi Hughes....Amarion Peterson

With all the teams that drafted RBs over the weekend, there will surely be RBs released in the final cutdown that will be an upgrade to Chandler.

37 page pinned thread on RBs leads me to believe many were interested in going RB in the draft. I’d say “some” were pretty concerned if not excited about the prospect of having a replacement in hand for Aaron Jones, injury insurance for Mason, and god help us if Chandler has to take significant snaps, especially because he’s proven to be hot garbage in pass protection. But, yeah let’s be a couple bad breaks away from a street FA leading our rushing game. Seems prudent.
