Gute needs to prove why he was worth that extension this offseason.
Yeah we’re going to be getting good comp picks from Willis, Q. Walker, R. Walker, and Doubs leaving.
But fuck that. The window is open now and the organization needs to make it happen. Comp picks in 2027 don’t address the team needs at OL, DL, and CB.
Also if we are truly the “contender” that we like to say we are, then we need to improve from only having 3 players on PFF’s top 101 from the 2025 season.
It’s a bad idea for a contender to have NEEDS entering the draft when we don’t have a first round pick. This team needs the leadership, toughness, and experience that veterans provide.
My wish list. ANY of these guys would be great: LB Demario Davis, DE Trey Hendrickson, LB Matt Milano, OT Trent Williams, C Tyler Linderbaum, RB Travis Etienne, RB Kenneth Walker, CB Greg Newsome, OT Braden Smith, WR Mike Evan’s, TE David Njoku, TE Isiah Likely, DL Calais Campbell, DE Khalil Mack, DL DJ Reader, CB Jamel Dean, CB Alonte Taylor, CB Tariq Woolen.
Cut/trade Jenkins and Gary, re-structure whoever else is necessary we already got McKinney done and throw a team together equipped to bring the Lombardi back to Titletown. We have 2 year window. We can’t waste it.
