    6 year/$54 million is pretty good for what Graham brings to the table.

    If he's a TE who brings the additional ability of a WR, then probably yes, because creating mismatches while also supporting the run game is very valuable.

    As a WR in TE's clothing, no.

    he'd be worth every penny at that deal

    i think it would be a huge haul for us offensively if we could sign him and than draft marqise lee in the later part of round 1. if we can't get graham, then i think we can draft ASJ in the 2nd round

    I EXPECTED this team to be better than last year, I wasn't sure about the QB position, but the coaching has improved.

    I think we are forgetting about Goodson at RB. He will be a superb speed compliment to our two headed monster.
    The WR position is crucial, but so is safety and OLB. BAP at any of those positions for first 3 rounds is my vote.

    Nice win today, fellas. Your DL is fearsome. As a Chicago fan, I can say that I WISH we had a pass rush like ya'll.

    And how many of this group will contribute as rookies? Or bust? Gordon is one of the best receivers in the league and is young and well worth a second round pick. For example, what would you rather have, Gordon and a first round pick or Corederelle Paterson and a second round pick?

    I never felt this was a 0-16 team or a 3-13 team
    My expectation was that they would be an up and down team.
    My hope was that they play in such a way that they show realistic promise
    that can be developed in the upcoming seasons
    My expectations have been fulfilled and my hope has so far been realized. The arrow is pointing up.

    We're certainly getting a lot of fun and some great wins out of this team in what figured to be a dismal rebuilding year. I especially loved the "next man up" mentality that we saw from Sudfield, Salas, etc.

    We had a good draft -- maybe a great draft if Geno keeps developing and Millner starts to. Idzik has done a good job finding serviceable pieces without cap space and Rex and (espically) MM have done a really good job most of the time.

    I want Idzik to use next year's cap space to find some solid reinforcements at need positions (like WR) and then go BPA with every single draft pick. :)

    I thought we'd be 2-7 at the bye, and finish strong with a cupcake 2nd half sched (7-9 was my orig prediction). Looking good to exceed that now!

    You know it's not about Gordon's ability. Nobody met the Browns price because Gordon is very likely to be worth a lot less in 2 years and not for anything he did or didn't do on the field.

    I am so glad the Jets didn't go get a guy who has no self control.
