The Too Soon 2022 NFL Draft Thread

What can we get for Payne?


Less than we could have before he decided to throw a tantrum and get into an altercation with our All Pro team captain DL Jon Allen.

I wouldn't wholly disagree, but we have Allen, Matty I and Settle backing them up. I'd say if there's anywhere we have good depth, it's DT. We can't afford to pay them up when their contracts come up, so makes sense to consider draft capital while we can.

That’s my point .. we continue to let players go without getting nothing .. I’m with you .. get some compensation !!

Nice breakdown from Jordan Reid (scout) on QB prospects:

Nice, thanks for sharing!

What do you guys think of Sam Howell? I don't watch college games so I don't know much about Howell or any other players. Although Howell caught my attention when I watched Dyami Brown's highlights last year.

Howell is really good, gamer , tough , he's kinda like a Mayfield tho.. He will make some throws that you scratch your head on

At least the decision making process can be improved, I like what I see from Howell in his highlights so I wouldn't be upset if we draft him. There are a few QB options so it will be interesting to see who WFT draft.

Again, I'd like to point out this is a terrible draft class so trading good players for picks in this class would be a pretty stupid thing to do. Now if the idea is to trade him for another good veteran that is a different story.

It's a balance of benefit to the team retaining a player or getting some form of compensation instead of letting them walk in FA. If the benefit outweighs the comp, then they likely stay.

Payne's 5th year option is $8.5M, which is not insignificant. He's very good, but arguably when he's been absent, Matty I and Settle filled in fine. I wouldn't be actively shopping him around come the end of the season, but I'd certainly listen to offers.

We can sign Ioaniddis and Settle for less than Payne will cost by himself. And he only has 1 year left.

As long as the draft compensation is fair, I don't think trading him is a bad idea.

It's not necessary if say someone only offers like a 5th rounder. I'd rather have Payne for 1 more year because he is good.

But if someone offered a 2nd, I'd do that trade, then work on signing at least 1 of those other 2 guys, and ideally both.
