Joe Mixon has some baggage. Didn't he shoot a teenager recently?

Kevin Zietler, Calvin Ridley, and Kamren Curl are the top remaining for me. Would like to see at least 1 of these 3 signed.
I saw we are in on DJ Reader. I would rather pass on him, TBH.
Still bummed about Azeez and I don't love the Murray pick. Seems expensive for a roll of the dice. ILBs have been cheap lately. Gosh I hope he's not who our FO thinks is the answer.
Has Devon White been signed?
I would also happily "settle" with Jerome Baker. It would make me feel better after the Dolphins were gifted David Long.
Also, I would be fun to bring Dylan Cole's biceps back.
The only problem with all of that is he is supposedly a poor tackler. Something that does make him fit in here since we are notorious for poor tackeling.Ran and Dennard Wilson clearly have a plan for Murray which is why they targeted him day 1. Wilson said he wants an “attacking” defense which is why Azeez didn’t fit. Azeez had the 4th WORST pass rush grade (46.8) out of all 82 NFL ILB last year.
Murray however is an athletic freak with a 9.88 RAS score and has elite level “speed” and “explosion” numbers. Pass rushing as a blitzer will likely be his specialty. Think David Long on steroids. Could be a lot of fun to watch.
I hear you but his 22% pass rush pressure rate last year was elite. Hopefully we can coach him up on the other stuff. His rotating carousel of LB coaches on the Chargers were equivalent to our OL coaches the past few years. I’m sure that didn’t help lol.The only problem with all of that is he is supposedly a poor tackler. Something that does make him fit in here since we are notorious for poor tackeling.
Massive overpay IMO.Mooney to the Falcons, 3 years 39 million. That's a little over limit I would have felt comfortable signing him at. Really thought he would go for around 2/24 or 3/30 with only about 12 million in guaranteed money. 3/39 with 26 guaranteed is a bit rich for a guy that hasn't broke 500 yards the last 2 seasons.
and what are Murray's grades?Ran and Dennard Wilson clearly have a plan for Murray which is why they targeted him day 1. Wilson said he wants an “attacking” defense which is why Azeez didn’t fit. Azeez had the 4th WORST pass rush grade (46.8) out of all 82 NFL ILB last year.

Then cool, maybe we have an expensive project at DE/OLB, but we need TWO inside guys that can stop the run consistently, be decent at covering the middle, and relatively able to stick with TEs. Murray, as of now, hasn't been great at any of those 3.I hear you but his 22% pass rush pressure rate last year was elite. Hopefully we can coach him up on the other stuff.

Per TitansWire, the Titans are still actively "exploring" a trade with the Chiefs for La'Jarius Sneed.
Barf.
Sneed is very good. But we aren't a CB away from competing. Trading a 2nd rounder and then signing him to a 90-100 million dollar deal is not something we should be doing right now.
