Spend that money we have unused to get a stellar guard, fix our CB situation, get a speed merchant at WR, AND bring in a guy who can lead an offense and make all of the throws.  

The only reason we aren't in the thick of the playoff hunt this year is bc of extra possessions given to the opposition.

I would love to upgrade the aforementioned positions & see what we look like with a "Carson Palmer" next year, and for the next few years. The core of this team is built to win right now, and my fear is a Mariota without an Arians is asking for another multi-year project...and let's face it, this franchises fan base doesn't give that kind of time.

That said, I think we are going to be fighting Tampa for Mariota, as OAK has Carr & JAX has Bortles. if he is there, we have to take him. But I would go the FA too, and go into the draft picking from a position of strength.  

Iupati OG 9ers?

Wow!!! nice thought. I don't know about you, but I haven't missed Winters a bit with Aboushi's play, if you can retain Colon as depth by filling his spot with Iupati, that would be an unbelievably deep line.

Aboushi received nice reviews for his play yesterday. Maybe we found a starting guard? Silver lining to a dreadful season.

I've seen enough of Winters. Colon is a great run blocker with a short fuse and a propensity for false starts. We might need to look at a high priced guard and cornerback in FA this offseason. Focus the draft on finding a franchise QB. Hell, I'd trade a bunch of picks to move up for Mariota. And I usually don't advocate that kind of approach.

Mariota is for real. Get him.

Rex gets fined $100K. Babin and Vick both get fined.

NOTHING for Mitchell for his dive on the kneel.

At some point, someone has to call out Roger Goodell for being nothing more than Vince McMahon.

I don't think it was for the F-bomb walking off the field, I think it was the multiple F-bombs he threw towards the officials on the sidelines ?

Go Jets...Cyborg

I didn't know about those. I thought that kind of thing was pretty routine, but who knows what he actually said to them!
