Did he factor a salry cap reduction for all teams down to $175 million? He may have as adding Thuney will be a lot cheaper for any team in 2021 than it cost in 2020. I would love Leonard Williams. Geno saves us 9 million in cap money if cut and 14 million if traded. Hart saves us 6 million if cut. Gio in my opinion at 4 million savings in cap either needs to be cut or salary reduction of 1.5 million due to lower cap in 2020. I hope we can keep Jackson, but at the right price. I also think Sims at a low price should be kept and developed. Josh Reynolds does not do a lot for me, I think there are 20 of him in rounds 4 through 6 who would be a lot cheaper and with more upside.

I love the Sewell pick and love Basham in round 2. No way AD comes back to Cincy in 2021 in my opinion, I would tell Cincy fans to KMA for teh lack of respect he was given.
