I am not sure this is the buggest loss but it does show why maybe you dont blow all your future draft picks on trading up, long term projects, and backup qb when you need to win now. Most teams could deal with this loss better but most teams have more cap money and draft picks to make something happen.

If the love of the games gone why hang on in there for more punishment than necessary. Yeah another 20ml in the banks nice but if your brains to muddled to remember your kids names what's the point

Easton slides into Unger's spot problem solved. We need a couple of quality backups in the draft

I think he is. I think the Saints knew about Unger. Why else would they pay 24 million for this guy.

The NFCCG loss is unraveling this team. We lose Ingram (not that it's a big loss but he was a good decoy) and now we lose an integral piece of the offensive line that was in much need after the 2014 season.

So we lost everything for that trade. Stephone Anthony was the first round pick we got as pick 31 in2015 and he's gone. Jimmy Graham is long gone, but what if he leaves green bay and Breeze makes him look better than ever? Definitely disappointing but easy to recover from.

Erik McCoy*, C/G, Texas A&M
Height: 6-3. Weight: 310. Arm: 32.63. Hand: 9.25.
Projected 40 Time: 5.10.
Projected Round (2019): 1-2.
3/16/19: At the NFL Scouting Combine, McCoy was phenomenal with a great workout, a freaky 40 time, and a good round of interviews. McCoy could sneak into the first round, and if slips to Round 2, he should be selected quickly.

McCoy played well for Texas A&M and decided to skip his senior year to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. He could be a plug-and-play starter at guard or center. It would be ideal for him get more powerful, but McCoy has a lot of good tape, including his performances against Clemson and Alabama last year.

McCoy has strong hands and is able to control defenders when he latches on them. He has decent feel and awareness, plus is athletic. McCoy shows a nice ability to hit blocks on the perimeter, at the second level, and in the open field. In the ground game, McCoy is not a powerful pile mover and does not generate a lot of movement in the run game. Hence, he should add more functional strength for the NFL.

8/28/18: McCoy started at guard and center for the Aggies during the 2017 season after being the starter at center during his freshman year. McCoy has good size to him, and his run blocking is ahead of his pass protection. For the NFL, he could fit as a guard or a center.
