I think we can put to rest whether or not we should have cut Evans considering even a team with an atrocious O-Line has let him go.

Yeah, Lelito was grading better so get rid of Lelito for Evans...

Well now we have a market price for Offensive Guard...

From Walter Football...

Sept. 3 Updates

Bears re-sign G Kyle Long (4 years, $40M; $30M guaranteed): B Grade

This may seem like a lot of money for Kyle Long, especially after a 2015 season in which he didn't play all that well. Long, however, was miscast as a tackle. He's been much better in the interior, however, and I can't exactly blame the Bears for giving him a long-term extension.

I'm not going to give the Bears an "A" or something else in that range, as they're not getting a great deal or anything. But this extension makes a lot of sense, as the Bears will have the cornerstone of their offensive line around until the end of the decade. I'm willing to give Chicago a solid "B" grade as a result, as this contract is what it should be.

Note: Saints never did get a grade outta Walter Cherepinsky on the Paul Kruger FA signing...

Speaking of guards, Remember OL Brandon Thomas, Clemson 6' 3", 310 lbs who had a stellar game against Jadveon Clowney and then tore his ACL in a workout for the Saints in that year's draft?

Well, the 49ers traded him to the Lions for WR Jeremy Kerley yesterday...

What a strange move
Either the 49ers know he has a knee ossue long term or they are nots. Kerley isnt a bad receiver but you wouldn't change a promising guard for him. Shame as they may have been interested in some WR we have here

Yeah, no way Ozzie Newsome would let that guy (Bronson) get away if he has star potential.

lee909 · 09-01-2016, 11:35 AM

He would well be worth stashing

lee909 · 09-01-2016, 11:36 AM

Newsone is the best gm in the league imo

meh...he's good, but there's some favoritism going on between the league and the Oz...

Oz and Ravens get a disproportionate number of compensatory picks vs other teams...

I agree with the picks
Its a scam i guve a 3rd comp,you select a LB so the next year you let a LB leave in FA getting you another pick

To be fair to Ozzy,he knows the game and plays it well. He and his team are good talent scouts though. Even his players that dont work out are normally serviceable. Im sure theres been a few byt not many straight out busts. Our front office has been living in tbe rep of one draft for a long time

Morons...

Wait a minute, you don't really need that offensive guard, do you?
