I love Nick and have for a long time. I'm a well-known Mizzou honk on here.

BUT... I still see a guy who is at best a "eh, he's OK" option as a pass defender. His instincts are next level and I think they play him up until he starts to decline physically.

But if he's fooled, or pulled out of position by his assignment, he just doesn't have the raw speed/range to recover quickly. And he's still pretty limited as a pass defender.

I just don't see how you can pay him big money on a long-term deal when that's the case.

Depends on what he's asking, but I assume it's going to be more than I'm comfortable with.

Daquan Jones - been injured i think there's a discount there.
Maurice Hurst - Same, would look to pay minimum. He might only give you 300 snaps but it's at a near elite level. If he's rotational I'd swing.
Michael Pierce - Has had a great year, I think you can get him around $6-7m a year and he'd be well worth it.
Chris Wormley - Has he retired? I guess the theme is taking a risk on guys who've been injured. Probably I'd want someone like Pierce and then one of those riskier, cheaper options.

Egbuka I really like. But...I'd also really like a guy whose played more on the outside. Might not matter with Holywood and I'm not saying he CAN'T do it. But if he can he might go before our pick anyway.

I like those DT names just fine. And Egbuka is a 6-1/200 guy and comes from a program that has done a good job developing guys who can win inside and out.

But I do see the concerns there in that he's not really an all-fields player. He's mostly a seam stretcher/deep guy. A younger and IMO, better, MVS. And frankly, a slightly better version of the 2022 MVS would be a god-sent for this offense. If that's ALL he is, it's still a hell of an add to the WR room.

Depends on the price, but I'm not super interested. He's a one-trick pony, and I want more versatility than that.
