Phillips in 8 games last year had 4 interceptions, he needs to be starting somewhere on the defense next year. That is more than William Jackson has had his whole career, that is as many as Dre has had in the last 5 years, and that is more than Dennard has had his whole career. It's even more impressive than that... He had 4 INTs and 7 PDs in 109 snaps. He got 22 snaps against Buffalo, 27 against Miami, and 53 against Cleveland. The only other games he got defensive snaps were 49ers (2), Jets (4), and Patriots (1). So he only really played 2 full games less really....

If Dre was due 7-8 mil over the next two years (3-4 mil per) then maybe a team would take a flyer by sending us a late round pick for him. Maybe.
But he's not. He's due about 20 mil (10 mil per). I think you can make the argument that, as of right now, he's the most overpaid CB in the league. No one is trading anything for him. No one. Not a 6th round pick. Not a 7th round pick. Not a few kicking tees. Not a used Ipod Nano. Nothing. I have no idea who these "many" are who think he's "great trade bait". I've seen a few people, and only on here, say "I think we could get at least something for him". That's not many, and that's not great either. Guys, I'm not sure some here have actually followed the league or trades close enough to understand this market. I don't say this to be mean, but it's the truth. The idea that he has trade value is both ridiculous and incredibly misinformed. That's not this league works. You want to keep him, and pay your 3rd or 4th best corner double what he's worth. Fine. But you're not trading him for jack shat. HE HAS NO TRADE VALUE. STOP.

I’m telling you , the same Homer’s that predicted 11-5 last year think Dre is great. You can’t convince them otherwise

Dre making bank riding bench coming in rarely or a rookie coming in rarely on a rookie deal freeing up cash the fill other holes on the team. I would go with the rookie and if we get a good trade and another 3rd or 2nd round pick then the rookie might be a higher pick then the 4th round that is just as low as I would consider for a rookie CB.

Dre is just plain bad,on top of being a penalty machine.Cut him.Phillips is ready to fill that role.

We saw Bouye go for a mid round 4th, if Detroit will take pick 65 for Slay sign me up. The Lions have that much cap wrapped up in Slay huh? I guess it is a possibility then, wow. Would love any of Chris Harris or Bradley Roby, then re-sign Dennard. If we cannot get one of these two Ryan would be an alright option. Like you said until Phillips is ready to go as I think he is the future. Some are talking him down on here a bit which surprises me, dude is a gamechanger, always has been. If he can grow into a good tackler the sky is the limit. (03-04-2020, 09:23 AM)Au165 Wrote: The turnover thing is something we need to look at across the defense.

Phillips has a knack for the ball. (03-04-2020, 09:30 AM)Au165 Wrote: Ryan I think is a last resort but he can get turnovers, I'd like to see them look maybe a tier higher. I'm not a fan of Apple because he doesn't get turnovers and that is something I think we desperately need in order to turn the defense around. Bradly Roby is a lower tier CB I'd be interest in. All good ideas, Byron Jones is a bit spendy though. (03-04-2020, 10:20 AM)Schmitbuck Wrote: Listened to Paul Dehner Jr's podcast (Hear that podcast growlin) on the way into work this morning. Nothing earth shattering, but they touched on Dalton, Glenn, and free agency. They seem to think the Bengals' free agency priority will be: Interesting, I can see CB and LB but haven't thought of DL much at all this Offseason besides Derek Wolfe. What are some of the other D-lineman out there in FA I wonder? Personally I think we ought to go OL over DL in FA and that would open up the Draft more and we could go for a guy like Blacklock at 33 if we wanted.

The issue is the Lions don't want to pay him like a top corner. In Slay's case or Byron's case you'd be paying the top of the corner market but in both cases I would be happy to do it because it would essentially let William Jackson kick down to cover #2 receivers and I like those odds.

What are some of I think their thinking re: defensive line is to possibly let Billings walk. I'm with your on OL over DL in FA (though I'm greedy and want both). I'm really interested to see who is targeted. Sounds like Scherff will be franchised. Thuney/Conklin are probably too expensive. I know Glasglow is sort of a board favorite but who is after that if they can't sign him? I'm sure there will be plenty of competition for him. I think it's a pretty big drop unless they're good with a 1-2 year guy.

Byron Jones and Darius Slay are looking to reset the Corner market. We are talking 17 to 18m per year...

With the new CBA Slay will be less able to hold out on this last year of his deal and you wait to see what Jones gets and work from there. In reality I’d give Slay 17 for three with it front loaded. In reality the Bengals wouldn’t most likely reset the market for an outsider but who knows, weird things happen.

The way this class breaks down, in my opinion, there should be solid CBs available in the 3rd round. Just as this draft is loaded with WR talent, it's also got plenty of DBs who have been covering these same receivers. Edit: What's most shocking about the PFF numbers posted, is that Dre is a former 1st round selection that was playing in his 8th season. He should be rocking a score in the 80s, with that pedigree. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

In comparison Webb put up a 56 last year, so you are essentially swooning over a guy who was worse the BW Webb. I dont care about his pff score. Denver was on a lot where I live and I saw him play. There is zero comparison to Webb. |
