So with todays signings, How does 1-12 and beyond play out? Do these moves change how we draft after 1-2?

Best off season from all the gms goes to BDN! Wish they were 2 year deals but these guys are going to ball out. But I guess that's the enticing part for the other party. They know they will succeed.
To me, 1-12 will in all likelihood will be BPA on defense after these moves. Never a bad thing to draft RBs and TEs late(especially with the Shanahan system), never a bad thing to add depth to those positions
man at this point I think they are going to take Bryce from us but I’m making myself fine with either of the top two qb’s
Actually could pay off next season... (1) Texans should have a ton of cap next year (esp. when $20M in dead $ goes away) & (2) if those players leave Htown & sign bigger deals, we could be in line for compensatory picks. It's a game that IIRC the Pats were pretty good at (sign vets, increase their value, & let them walk in FA to bigger deals)
https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2023-free-agent-rankings-tight-ends 1. TE DALTON SCHULTZ Schultz had a very slow start to the year, in part due to the absence of quarterback Dak Prescott, but came on strong in the middle of the season. From Week 7 to Week 12, his 83.5 grade ranked third among tight ends, including a 76.8 receiving grade and an 82.5 run-blocking grade to go along with 2.11 yards per route run (fourth), 230 receiving yards (fifth), three contested catches (tied fourth) and three touchdowns (fifth). Schultz’s ceiling may not be the highest, but he’s a reliable pass catcher who can find soft spots in zone coverage and a plus run blocker in a league that has very few of them at the tight end position. He could turn into a good value as a second-tier signing a bit below the top of the market. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2022-tight-end-rankings 10. DALTON SCHULTZ, DALLAS COWBOYS Overall Grade: 68.3 Snap Count: 938 Schultz finished the year ranked 15th among tight ends with a 67.8 receiving grade while finishing fifth with a 65.9 run-blocking grade. He certainly produced as a pass catcher, with his 34 combined touchdowns and first downs ranking ninth and his average of 1.42 yards per route run coming in at 10th, but his 7.6% drop rate placed third highest at the position. Of the 23 tight ends to run block at least 300 times last season, Schultz ranked fourth best with an 8.7% positive run-block rate and fifth best with a 13.2% negative run-block rate. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2022-n...ing-running-backs-saquon-barkley-tony-pollard 6. DEVIN SINGLETARY, BUFFALO BILLS PFF pass-blocking grade: 69.4 Pass-blocking snaps: 82 Pressures allowed: 8 https://www.thephinsider.com/2023/3...michael-deiter-offensive-lineman-center-guard Background Position: Offensive line (Guard/Center) Age (at the start of the 2023 season): 27 College: Wisconsin NFL experience: 4 years Expiring contract: 4-years, $3.8 million 2022 Review Deiter was in the running to be the team’s starting center this year when training camp opened, especially with the team still trying to see if Connor Williams, a free agent addition who was making the move from left guard to center, would be able to man the spot. As Williams settled into the role, Deiter slid into the backup spot on the depth chart and stayed there all season. Deiter, Miami’s third-round pick in 2019, appeared in all 17 games in 2022, but he was limited to just special teams play throughout the year. 2022 stats: 17 games played (all special teams snaps) 2023 Outlook Deiter is coming off his rookie contract and is still young enough that he could catch on with another team as a starter, but he is most likely headed toward another year as a backup. He can play both guard and center, giving a team some flexibility with their offensive line depth. He will sign somewhere and be a solid option on the depth chart, but will it be with the Dolphins? Texans signed C Michael Deiter, formerly of the Dolphins. Deiter started 15 games for the Dolphins at left guard as a rookie in 2019 before being relegated to a bench role in 2020, moving to center at 2021, and playing in another depth role along the offensive line in 2022. He comes off his rookie contract looking to recapture his early career upside in a new setting, heading to the Texans on an undisclosed deal. Deiter should initially settle into a depth role for the rebuilding franchise on a roster lacking much in the way of experience along the offensive line outside of their presumed starters.
For me, no. If we don't take Will Anderson at #2, then I want an Edge/DE at #12. That could be Myles Murphy, Lukas Van Ness, Nolan Smith or Drew Sanders. I think Sanders is being underrated by the Draft Media heads, but has a chance to be a Top 15 pick. I wouldn't hate a TE here, but would rather see if one slips to 33 and if that doesn't happen or a center is there we like, then take one later.
