The one issue I can see happening in the draft is a team jumping ahead of the Rams to get Murphy knowing the Rams need to replace Donald.
If that happens, they should trade back and target Newton or a CB/OT.
Achilles injuries typically take a year to heal. That would put him out until October at the earliest.
Akers came back earlier and I think that was the wrong decision because he hasn’t been the same since.
You can’t rush these things.
And picking one early doesn’t necessarily mean starting...
They need to draft another CB.
White is only on a 1 year deal and still don’t know if he can be the same player he was after the ACL and Achilles injuries.
He is a big question mark at this point. They need a long term solution at the position, and this draft is pretty deep at that position.
DRuss’s problem has always been the playoffs, not the regular season.
And I knew the Lakers needed a player like Rui and was pissed when I heard they wanted to trade him.
Glad that didn’t pan out.
I don’t want Penix.
Too many injuries already.
If they take a QB early in the draft, take Nix.
Otherwise, draft Milton late or don’t draft a QB at all.

This needs to change soon.
That is not a viable product for long term success.

I think it sucks that teams are still stuck paying the guaranteed portion of a players contract when the player decides to retire early.
Donald should have to give up everything he is due once...
He doesn’t strike me as a player that will retire and then come back after a year or so.
He gives too much of himself in training, etc to stop and then start again.
