Releasing Forsett might be another example of a team not wanting a veteran on the opening day roster who's contract is then guaranteed. They may look to bring him back later.

So Terrance West is our starting RB. Never would have guessed that!

I don't have any problem with our first 3 picks. My only problem is we still have EIGHT more picks and there is no way all those guys are making the team. I know Ozzie said he tried to trade back into the 2nd and 3rd rounds and I really wish he was able to because I see us having to cut multiple draft picks come August. Hopefully Ozzie can trade one or two of them and get picks in next years draft.

Oh man Tunsil and Bosa both available. I'm so torn on who I would rather have if that happened. With Tunsil I see another Ogden situation where he plays LG for his first year before taking over at LT but he has some durability concerns and off the field issues. But as much as I like Bosa I think there will be some nice options in the 2nd or 3rd round for pass rushers whereas the drop off on tackles seems a bit extreme especially if we want a guy who can make Monroe work to keep his job.

The Ravens trading down does make some sense. We have 3 key positions we need to address early in this draft. They are pass rusher, corner, and LT. A trade down and picking up the 33rd pick, which is top of the 2nd round and pretty much a first rounder anyway, would allow us to do that. In Mayocks draft the Dolphins took Lawson a couple picks before us but if we could trade back and actually get a guy like Lawson or Conklin at LT there should be good options at the other 2 positions sitting there for us in the 2nd. I'd prefer we not take the risk by trading back and getting stuck in limbo a bit like what happened in Mayock's mock but the reward is there if everything falls into place (sort of like when Jimmy fell to us in the 1st and Torrey in the 2nd).

I was thinking that too but then I realized that their loss keeps the Patriots from the #1 seed so it's not all bad.

At this point all I want from this season is to get Perriman on the field and he plays very well to give our receiving corp some hope heading into next year. It would also be nice if Maxx Williams played better than a 5th round pick from a small school.

It's a real shame that he didn't have 1 more year on his rookie contract. He would have been huge this year to offset the loss of Suggs and I think there's a good chance we would then sign him long term especially with Suggs coming off another major injury and not getting any younger.

I saw that too. That's weird. I know I saw that they released him but I guess they changed their minds once the Vikings came calling.

I don't want to see anyone on this board complaining about Tucker's cap hit when we sign him to a much deserved extension this offseason. Whatever we pay him will be well worth it.

True but the compensation was minimal to begin with. Maybe we can put him on the practice squad now. We need all the insurance we can get on the interior of the o-line with both KO and Yanda pending free agents.

Niners released Easton the undrafted center we traded to them after training camp.

Yeah but that was mid season once teams knew where they were. The Titans knew they weren't going anywhere and I believe Ayers was a pending free agent so it made sense to trade him and get something for the future. It's week 1. No team is going to trade away anyone of value this early.

I think we will run a lot more 4-3 now with Suggs gone but a lot will depend on if Z Smith is ready or not. I have a feeling he still needs a bit more time so more 4-3 gets our best players on the field.

So the Giants cut Asa Jackson already. That was fast.
