    With most of these 14 guys leaving after this coming season and CJ + WAJ both setting up to get mega extensions in 2027, Nick will need to draft a haul of good players in 2026 to avoid a hard landing.

    Would have been a nice get, especially with how we drafted, offense would have been loaded at the skill positions.

    With the timing of the waiver claim of OC Jake Andrews, this appears to be an indication they are at their 90 man roster limit. So this would be a part of that move.

    This could tie into the post draft interview Schefter had about teams calling in (Houston and others) trying to trade up but when Loveland got drafted, the phone calls stopped.

    We're right there! We know what teams we need to beat and now need to put the total package (coaching/game planning, players/execution, and culture/attitude (SWARM) together.

    Nick and Coach Meco just need to see what we've got this Spring and tweak as needed.
