JJSS looks like I thought he would - smart but fungible. Hardman is getting dinged again. Nnadi is...fine. Watson looks interesting - I'd still see if I could get him signed to a 2-3 year deal right now.

If I bring back Brown, I probably hit the draft to replace Wylie. If I don't bring back Brown, I probably keep Wylie as reliable throughput. I'm not ready to make a call on Brown yet though.

Agree with you for the most part.

Juju is hard to say bc of price. I can’t justify paying him $24 million for what I’ve seen. Brown is hard to bc of the structure of the contract. I do think Hardman is very replaceable.

I’d try to get another 2nd rd WR again regardless, but different than Skyy Moore. Maybe a guy like George Pickens this time.

Also would go for DJ Chark. I think he could be cheap and very good here

The Lions gave him $10 million coming off a lost season. If he's cheap it's because he sucked.

I mean I like the tools a lot - but he's gonna get a pretty nice deal if he performs this year, IMO.
