Okay, well that's ****ing not true, at all.

Many teams announce the signings of all their draft picks at once and most usually sign in clusters.

And that's just ****ing horseshit.

Most teams, not including the Chiefs, have plenty of cap space in which to sign their draft picks and do so as soon as possible, especially since slotting began in 2011.

I can’t wait to see how Veach manages his first draft.

The way he ended his press conference saying with a smirk that you may see them back in the first round was very interesting. Like he already has multiple options for doing so.

I’m excited to see how the board falls and what we do.

So? Just because they're announced at once doesn't mean they're signed at once. Do you think teams bring in the rookies and have everybody sign their contract on the count of three? And even if they did, you don't have to.

And that's just ****ing horseshit.

How is this even disagreeing with what I posted? I jumped into a discussion of salary cap rules, I'm not advocating that we spend up to the limit. I'm arguing what the limit is.

Good ****ing god, teams want to get their draftees under contract as soon as possible so that they can participate in OTA's and minicamps.

Well that's just dumb. Every team is assigned a Rookie Salary Cap each year and teams need to have salary cap space in order to sign their rookies, plain and simple.

Another advantage for the Pats.

So after both Williams the cap space stands at ~$5m? If they sign either Wright or Watson they have to be done for now?

I don't see how they get into the 1st round without either trading Justin Houston or trading next year's 1st plus several other picks.

I think this was discussed in here recently, although it might have been a different thread, but it's pretty easy to get into the low 1st - the 54 pick, plus the 2nd round 2019 from the Rams (valued at around the 80th pick as a year in the future picks are treated like being a round ish worse on average) and you're practically there.

Get rid of one coaching nightmare with Wilkerson, then try to mortgage the farm for Suh... lord have mercy

Yet another awful franchise with no direction or plan, no wonder the Patriots rule that division

A work buddy of mine is a Dolphins fan (from Columbus Ohio wtf?) and he sees it as well... nothing they do makes any damn sense, they have no real blueprint to work from

Gase/Grier are in over their heads just like Bowles/Macaggnan

We should all thank our lucky stars that we have Reid and Veach, there is at least a well thought out process at work

I think that's a best case scenario that wouldn't pan out in reality, but even if it would, I can't believe there'd be a player available at the very end of the 1st that would make it worth giving up 2 2nds plus at least another 4th. I guess we'll see what Veach thinks or at least what he's able to do.

You probably need what you said plus a 3rd round pick to get in the low 1st round. Then, it would be a draft just like Dorsey's first two drafts where he did not have a 2nd round pick.

I just can't wait to see what Veach will do because I was really hoping for more additions to the defense and he seems to be all about the offense in FA.

If the defense is anything below average it very might be held against Veach.

Exactly. He is also a douchebag miscreant; kinda like the one we off-loaded to the Rams.

Hell no.

I do agree it seems unlikely, I would rather the 2019 2nd was packaged to end up with two 2018 2nd round picks.
