    Then you can add ~1.0 million for when the cap goes from 51 to 53.
    1.0+ million for the Practice Squad.
    3-5 million for IR during the season.
    I should say subtract.;)

    They pick Fowler for a priority. I would have thought it was Saffold then Fowler. I guess they like Fowler. I read they liked his work against the run and that he could play 3 downs.

    For now, the only long range offensive line we can count on is Havenstein and hope Noteboom and Allen can play.
    Whitworth one year
    Saffold big question mark
    Sullivan one year and shot?
    Blythe one year and ?

    I would much rather take a chance on DL JEFFERY SIMMONS at 31 or trade down.
    EDGE OSHANE XIMINES is fine, but he probably won’t be there at 94.
    I really know nothing about the other guys he has listed.

    I think all that is true. It is likely that they can find a fit for the defense in this draft.

    FMIA: The Combine Names to Know and How NFL Might Handle Kraft

    The Lead: Combine

    Now for a few takes on the 2019 crop of collegians:
    The Best Player in the Draft

    • Nick Bosa. Nick Bosa. Nick Bosa. “Injured his senior year in high school [torn ACL], injured this year [core muscle surgery], but he’s my highest-rated player,’’ Kiper said of the Ohio State defensive end. “Great bend, great motor.”

    • Said Jeremiah: “When I watch Nick, I see the exact same moves as his brother [Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa].”

    • Pluses: 17.5 sacks in 29 college games, great instinct. The minus: season-ending injuries in two of his past four football seasons.
    The Quality

    • “Really strong defensive draft,” Kiper said. “Deep at defensive line. Deep through three rounds. Good running back and receiver depth in rounds two through five.”
    .
    • Jeremiah: “If you’re in the hunt for difference-makers on the defensive line, and overall depth on the offensive line … you’re going to feel great about this draft. Offensive line-wise, there’s no Joe Thomas, no Jonathan Ogden, but there’s depth.”

    • For Jeremiah, 10 of his top 19 prospects in this draft are front-seven defensive players, including his top four: Bosa, Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, Kentucky pass rusher Josh Allen and Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins.

    The Passers

    Not the quality of 2018, when quarterbacks went 1-3-7-10-32 in round one. On his big board, Jeremiah has Kyler Murray 14th, Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins 18th, Missouri’s Drew Lock 26th and Duke’s Daniel Jones 32nd. Those are ratings, not a projection of where Jeremiah thinks they’ll go.

    • I’m hearing Haskins and Murray, in some order, are solid top 10 picks. “Haskins is a pure pocket passer,” Jeremiah said. “If he were to have come out 10 years ago, we’d be talking about him as a surefire top five pick … He just doesn’t move around very well. When he has to move off his spot he really struggles.”

    • Jeremiah loves Lock’s arm but not his overall mechanics. “His feel are kind of all over the place,” he said.

    • On Jones, Jeremiah thinks his grade will be mixed on different draft boards, with team that want a power arm downgrading him.
    The Injury Mysteries

    • Oklahoma receiver Marquise Brown (Lisfranc foot surgery) won’t run full-speed till August, but he might have been the fastest guy at the combine had he been fit enough to run. “I remember scouting DeSean Jackson at Cal, and this is a clone,” Jeremiah said. Brown will be a late-first-round gift to some team.

    • Mississippi State defensive Jeffery Simmons likely would have been a top 10 pick before tearing his ACL recently; how far he slides will be a big pre-draft story.

    • Kiper loves Bryce Love, the Stanford running back recovering from December ACL surgery; Love could be a fourth-round bargain in a draft full of middle-round backs.
    The Meat of the Draft
    .
    Rounds two and three. It’s a good year to have six picks between 32 and 101,
    which is where the rich-get-richer Patriots find themselves. Said Jeremiah: “You look at the Baltimore Ravens picking at 22. They have no second-round pick. To me, if the Ravens pick at 22 I will buy you dinner the next time we’re together. I know the new GM, Eric DeCosta, taking over there from Ozzie Newsome, is a very bright guy. The value in this draft is in that second-round range. I would be surprised a team like Baltimore doesn’t take pick 22 and look to get out of there and see if they can flex some more picks there in that second-round range.”
    The Skill Players

    • General consensus: One back (Josh Jacobs of Alabama) in the top 20. There’s a feel that, in a league when 2016 Offensive Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara was the 67th pick in a draft and 2016 NFL rushing champion Kareem Hunt was the 86th that you’re fine getting a good back—like Florida Atlantic’s Devin Singletary or Iowa State’s David Montgomery or Penn State’s Miles Sanders—somewhere between picks 40 and 100. “Running back value is in the second to the fifth round,” Kiper said.

    • As for wideouts, it’s another deep year in the second and third rounds. Oklahoma’s Brown and Mississippi’s D.K. Metcalf lead the way on Jeremiah’s board.
    T.J. Hockenson. (Getty Images)

    • Interesting that Jeremiah has three tight ends among his top 25 players: Iowa’s T.J. Hockenson (5), Iowa’s Noah Fant (23) and Alabama Irv Smith Jr. (25). Yes, that’s two tight ends from Iowa in the first-round conversation. Fant will likely be the fastest tight end at the combine; he has run 4.64, And Hockenson is athletic with a Mark Bavaro-blocking streak. Add to that the fact that NFL teams love players from Iowa because they value coach Kirk Ferentz NFL-preparedness training. No school has ever produced two first-round tight ends in the same year.
    Cautionary Tale

    There won’t be many players who make or break anything in the next week, so throw anything you hear like that out of your mental window. I’ll tell you why. Last year, Oklahoma tackle Orlando Brown was Mayock’s number-two-rated tackle in the draft entering the combine, and he had a disastrous performance. He ran an Eisen-like 5.85 40-yard dash, and did a feeble 14 reps of the 225-pound bench press. Brown was ridiculed. The Ravens picked him in the third round. He played 15 games at tackle for Baltimore. Pro Football Focus had a higher 2018 grade for Brown than for the following zillionaire tackles: Trent Williams, Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin, Nate Solder, Taylor Decker, Jason Peters and Cordy Glenn. So chill on conclusions drawn this week.

    NFL Network’s complete coverage at the combine kicks off Monday, and position group coverage begins Friday. ESPN will have a live show from 1-3 p.m. featuring Kiper and other network analysts Saturday on ABC during the quarterback drills.

    I don’t trust Suh. I don’t trust Peters. But, whatever.

    i wonder though how you replace a nose tackle, a cornerback, and a safety in one off-season.

    i hope whit and saffold come back.

    whattya think about fowler? i’d let him go somewhere else. rather sign a guy like anthony barr.

    Only one of those is a premium positition, CB.

    Here is a sample draft. You can play the game too. Here is the link: https://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/

    Sign fowler if the price is competitive .

    Let Suh walk and sign brockers and put them in those tackle.

    Sign Fowler or some other edge rusher .

    Keep peters this year and let him walk after.

    Extend talib with the intent he moves to safety when it becomes appropriate.

    Sign shields with the believe that his second and third your back will be even better than this first. Probably sign hill as the third or fourth quarter back depending on price.

    Right, don’t overpay for Fowler.
    Brockers is signed.
    Peters and Fowler are signed.
    Shields should be cheap.
    Lot of defensive players is this draft.

    I let Suh walk. I will take the comp draft choice and I like spending less Cap dollars.

    I suppose for them it depends on what they think they have at NT and/or can get in the draft or cheaper free agency.

    I don’t trust Suh. I don’t trust Peters. But, whatever.
