Payton conference call today. (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

Lots of good insight. I’ll start with the two most intriguing to me:



Obviously addressed in the other thread, but a point of clarification

 

[Saint Spud]

Sounds like we will be prioritizing interior OL, LB, CBs and WRs in the draft (no surprises, but interesting to hear him say it).

 

[Saint Spud]

Again, not a surprise, but noteworthy to hear him say it.

The more I read about this, I just don’t think we’re interested in drafting Love. Holder pretty much said he asked around and there wasn’t much interest. Then we hear Payton wasn’t even on the call with him (and Payton usually gets very involved with QBs). Seems like more evaluation for if he plays for an opponent.

 

[Saint Spud]

Says they’re following all social distancing guidelines while at the brewery.

 

[Outbackjack]

Draft at Dixie Brewery.

This franchise could literally not be any cooler.

That is so bad arse right there.

Only thing better would be broadcasting from Port Orleans brewery.

Sounds like that means no Willie Gay Jr. and a no on guys who have serious injury concerns. Curious what that means vis-a-vis Tua.

It means little. He'll still be drafted 15-20 spots before we step up to make our selection.

Yet he sees Peat get $33 million garaunteed. Poor guy has to be so confused.

They probably will be drinking DRAFT beer.

I think it's not just about Warford, but about our depth. Nick Easton barely played last year--was barely even active--and yet counts around $5 million on the cap. If you can add a rookie you can trust, it would be easy to part with Easton.

I think you’re correct that Warford isn’t the only one.

But yeah, they’re definitely unhappy with Warford. I believe it was Nick who said on a podcast that he came into camp overweight last year and he never quite seemed himself.

The fact they paid Peat as much as they did tells you who they felt the problem was. $ talks.

The more I think about it, the more I feel we will go DB in the 1st.
