I don't want to part with any more draft picks. I'd be kind of surprised if they go that route again.
For Hendrickson it would depend on the price. He has a pretty big contract and we'd probably have to take that and then likely negotiate a new one with him. Given that, we might be able to get him for a 2nd round pick or 2nd plus a bit more. If that's the price, then I'm all for it. An All-Pro pass rushing DE is far more likely to make a huge impact on our team than whatever guy we pick in the 2nd round.

And as far as the cap...screw it. We have JD on a rookie deal for 3 more years. Why not spend some of the money we have now on guys who will be able to help instantly before we have to pay JD the biggest contract in the NFL?

I would not be opposed to it, the window is open and the clock is ticking. But to me this roster is not deep enough to make any more splash moves. They just need more good football players across the roster so I"d like to see the resources spread out a bit more. Fill out a more complete roster and then next year make your move.

I'm expecting to hear a few more signings of our own players today and over the next few days.
Come tamper day it sure would be sweet to hear they signed an OL and CB.
If they don''t pull off the Hendrickson trade then definitely at least one DL

Early vibe is maybe just a 2nd rounder gets a deal done for Henderickson.

If so am intrigued. Take the first rounder and trade down maybe even multiple times and recoup some draft capital assuming you can find a trading partner.

He doesn't want a few million more than maxx got.

He wants a real shot at a championship.

I agree with Kyle this a.m. on GMFB, it's a bad move for the owner to brush off a meeting. I get the reason, but it's not the best move in this case.

Seems to me without looking at the data most of the rushing yardage come against the right of the defense. I'm sure they are aware of this as well.

Allen was just cut, since they had no one willing to trade for him. So, he’s a free agent now. His salary cap space, covers most of Deebo’s salary.

I don't really see why we can't make a couple of big moves while also getting a few quality role players to fill out the roster. We got to the NFCCG with what we had last year, so a couple of big signings in key areas (pass catching and pass rush in this case) could potentially make a major difference.

Realistically, we have 2 years left before having to sign JD to a mega-contract (his contract is through 2027, but successful rookie QBs are almost always signed after their 3rd year). So why not load up on some talent for a couple years before having to devote a fair amount of our cap space to JD in the hope that we can win a SB during this window?
