    If the value is right ok, but otherwise stay the course and use the draft and FAs to build the team.

    Sweat from the Redskins. He's a FA and draft Sweat from Texas. That's a Sweaty DL.

    Draft this WR. Nabers in the 1st, UT's Mitchell in the 2nd are exactly the kinds of WR's you're wanting. Mitchell is a Collins clone.

    Depending on the cost I would be all for bringing Hunter home.

    BTW, Aaron Jones is the closest thing available to McCaffrrey. If Caserio could get him for a 3rd he should be all over that. Runs hard/ Runs good routes/Has good hands/Good pass blocker.

    It's fair value but I think that's not a move for now for us...

    A 1st or 2nd is a starter for 5 years for us, possibly more, if NC doesn't mess up.

    A 3rd is probably a starter but the hit rate lower...

    I'm not as concerned about elite all-pro guys. I'm looking for good to borderline pro bowlers... guys who help make others on the team better.

    You want to wait 3 years for production?

    I expect Burns to be franchised if needed.

    Brooks would be interesting. I liked him out of tech.... depends on scheme fit...

    The others are in the division or contending so I doubt available...

    Why wouldn't you want to add star level players when you've got the cap room to add them?

    I dont think you will have to wait 3 years, Collins injury history is what has held him back.

    Anybody they want they can have, offense or defense in F/a. They're so hot right now.

    If he isn't, he should be a priority.

    Because a 1st or 2nd should be cheap star level players and giving one of them up and cap space is turning 2 good players into 1.

    I'm not wanting them to go all in for a franchise player, just a good one who will help other guys develop.

    Sounds good but teams don't draft busts on purpose and there are more of those than guys who pan out in the draft.

    He's going to have multiple suitors... big money...

    I wouldn't be opposed but it would depend on how the cap figures play out. Front loading cap hit while on Stroud's rookie deal makes sense.

    I dont think the Dolphins have the cap space available to keep him.
    This receiver group has a low bust rate. IMHO

    Chase Claypool is being shopped and will likely be released if no takers. Seems to have been a career underachiever. Should we be interested?
