Offseason transactions:
Cut: Waynes, Hopkins
Trade: Tyler Boyd to Miami for 2nd Round Pick
Resign: Bates (14.5), (Hill, 7.8), Flowers (2.6), Morgan (965k), Harris (1.1)
Acquire: Rasul Douglas, CB (7), Trent Brown, RT (10), Austin Corbett, OG (9M), Ryan Jensen, C (12M)
Draft:
1st Wyatt, DT, UGA
2nd Trey McBride, TE, CSU (from Miami)
2nd Wan’dale Robinson, Slot, UK
3rd Kellen Diesch, OT, ASU
4th Cole Strange, OG, UCT
5th Cordale Flott, CB, LSU
6th ZaQuandre White, RB USC
7th Matt Araiza, P, SDSU (may not be available in the 7th, but was in the simulators)
7th Jack Coan, QB, ND
DT is solid with Hill and Wyatt
TE: McBride > CJ
Slot: Boyd > Robinson today, but Wan’Dale is explosive and $9M cheaper per year.
Oline is solid with starters: Williams, Carmen/Strange, Jensen, Corbett, Brown
Diesch, Smith, Prince, Adeniji as backups
CB is secure with Douglas (5 INTS for GB), Awuzie, Flott, Flowers, Hilton.
RB2 - White is very underrated and replaces Perine.
QB2 - Coan battle for spot
P - not sure Araiza is available at 7 despite simulators but if so he is has a cannon for a leg.
I like some of this but don't see how Prince or Adenji are back on this team next year. I don't care if they play for free.
Adenji had is opportunity and he failed. Prince was not wanted in Tampa and he failed his chance in Cincy. They are probably great people but not the guys we need to protect Burrow. We went from last to first last year and this year the theme should be going from the most sacked QB to the least sacked QB.
I do like drafting the punter but we need to do that earlier. I bet we get him in the 4th.
