Carson Palmer was the MVP of the league. If he plays like he did in the regular season, the Cardinals iwn it all. They had going into week 17 the 2nd most efficient offense and 3rd most efficient defense.

They had something to play for yesterday and they got the doors blown off them. They aren't winning anything.

I think they still have a chance to make it, IF they get to play at home. To me they're clearly one of those teams who just won't have that extra gear if they have to play on the road against a really good team, especially in chilly weather. In the desert I think they can still be a force.

We have to go OT with the #1 pick. I hope Tunsil is the pick.

I'd be fine with Tunsil, Bosa, or trading down for more picks. Those are really the only plausible scenarios anyways. Unless the Chargers/Cowboys want to trade up to No. 1 for Bosa, then I think we'll end up taking Tunsil.
 
Falcons 100% have to take BPA. Unless it's a QB or RB of course. TE, WR, OL, DL, LB, S. Only position I probably owuldn't take is CB and I wouldn't care if we did, if it was clear BPA. We need to get better, and have lots of holes. I have my eye on Treadwell if he falls. He could compliment Julio extremely well.

Would be a stacked DL. Not sure if Tunsil is a dire need with MM in there but could likely help the running game though.

LB, TE, OL, S , Wr is how I got em. Hardy looked good at the end. Was very involved . I don't think he takes any heat off JJ, but he played well I thought .
 
I really think he should go to the Saints and back-up Brees for a year or two, then take over. They are similar sized players with similar skills sets at this point. And their career paths are actually somewhat similar through the same age as far as struggling to gain consistency and earning the trust of their coaches/front office. And playing for an offensive guru like Payton certainly couldn't hurt anything.

RG3 will be released, he's owed $17 million next year I think. Skins can get out of the contract, he's as good as gone. There is a reason he didn't play Sunday.

And there's no dead money with RG3 apparently. He'll be gone as likely will Pierre Garcon, That will free up a ton of cap space for the Skins. Without doing too much research and who knows where the cap will be next year, Assume it's 150, they are about 6M under that now. Cutting those 2 players would put them with about 30M in cap space. They could safely sign Cousins and 2-3 other good players or one other impact player.

I like Hardy a lot. But I don't think he compliments Julio super well and think in a lot of ways they're similar. Which has it's own value. IMO we're lacking that 10 yard and under threat receiver that Tony and Roddy had been for years. The guy you knew would get you a first down on 3rd and 10. That's where I see Treadwell's strength. He's a big and long receiver. I could see him setting up camp in the middle of the field and dominating it. Which would open up the slot and deep routes for Hardy and Julio.

I would really love like a Packers or Steelers level WR corps from when the Steelers had Wallace, Brown, and Sanders or the Packers had Nelson Jones and Cobb. A crew of receivers who play off each other and get results.

The Falcons have put so much effort in finding weapons for Ryan and it just hasn't worked. I think they need to worry about building the team around him and realize that they are better off with him as a game manager than someone you want trying to win games by himself.

I would not say Garcon is likely gone.

RG3 saves 16 mil from cap
Goldson saves 8 million
Riley saves 5 million
Lauvao saves 3 million
Roberts saves 3 million

Outside of Goldson, all of those guys have lost their jobs and are probably gone. The SKins can easily sign Cousins; rework Garcon/DJax, and sign other significant free agents. However, I think they will approach 2016 like 2015 and focus on draft with small deals to a select vet free agents.
