Then there’s Jermaine Johnson and David Ojabo, and you get the picture. Aidan Hutchinson isn’t seen to have the ceiling that the truly elite edge rushers do (although he wound up testing really well, and obviously was hyper-productive as a collegian), Kayvon Thibodeaux is smallish and has a different type of personality, and Travon Walker is more traits than track record, for now. Veera, it’s mostly because of what you’ve probably already heard-there’s no Myles Garrett in this year’s group. But for now, it’ll allow them to fill out the rest of their roster armed with the Deshaun Watson draft-pick bounty, be patient in looking for the long-term answer at quarterback, and if Mills becomes that, even better.įrom Veera AB - Why is there so much indecision among analysts and draft gurus on the ranking among edge rushers this year? (2) Is the national media narrative on the Texans softening after 2 years of criticism? Houston has Mills under contract for the next three years, so this isn’t an unending edge that they’ll have. If the Texans have a quarterback of the same level of, say, Kenny Pickett or Malik Willis, without having to make the same sort of commitment to him (you aren’t usually won’t invest in another QB for a while after taking one in the first round), then that’s a pretty massive win from a flexibility standpoint. Which only underscores the importance of the previous point. I’ll also say this, on Mills: There are teams that would take him right now over any quarterback in this year’s draft class. Seattle’s one team I could see making a play for him, if the money’s taken care of, with the idea being that he’d compete with Drew Lock for the job there. I don’t think the Lions will want him, and I don’t think Panthers will either. That makes, to me, the likely conclusion that the Browns eat some salary and move him for a third-day pick. His problem lies therein-some teams would be willing to bring him into compete for a job, but no one wants to take on his financials without knowing he’ll be their starter. Baker Mayfield’s seen as a bottom-half-of-the-league starter, and his price is such ($18.858 million) where you’d have to have a clear opening for him to consider giving him that. I guess for the same reasons you named Brown and Metcalf, you could throw Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin in there too, in case their contract situations go sideways between now and the season (and for right now, we don’t have any reason to think that’ll wind up happening.)įrom Richard Gonos Does Baker start week 1 in the NFL? I’m less sold on Metcalf staying in Seattle, but I’d guess the Seahawks try to get something done with him before a trade would even become a consideration.

Vrable and the Packers coaching staff will get another look the newest receivers when they take the field with veterans for the first time next week during OTAs.Ĭopyright 2022 WBAY. They’ve got a chip on their shoulder, they’re fired up, and I’m excited about them,” said Vrable. As opposed to guys who just show up and think they’ve already arrived. Those types of guys end up panning out in this league. They have this want-to to them and I can feel it right now. It’s funny because the other night I”m getting texts from Romeo at like 11 o’clock at night, my phone keeps vibrating, but he’s asking about plays. Coming out of rookie minicamp, Vrable seems to like what he sees in terms of the mentality of those three rookies. Surrounding Watkins this year will be a trio of young wide receivers Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Samori Toure. He’s in a good place right now, and I’m really excited about him.”” said Vrable. He’s like Vrabs it’s been fun hearing you coach the same stuff then as now. I’ve been in four systems in the last four years. He’s learning the playbook and he’s saying to me ‘man, it’s different. There’s a reason we drafted him that high, and he’s had I’d say successful years. He has hands that are like, you’ll hear the pluck and running through the catch, and his play strength. “One thing that you’ll see with him is that he plucks the ball different.
