Good crack on the 53, Critty👍

Moving Palmer and Pipkens seems within the realm of possibility.
Not sure they'll carry 4 RB's plus a fullback. And I just don't see any way that Woods makes a Jim Harbaugh coached football team, especially if we're fortunate enough to bring Simmons in.

And that TE room looks....meh.

Would be cool if Okoye has developed enough to make the 53 as well.

[Formula 21]

Thank you Dean Spanos. You have brought excitement and anticipation for a great future back to the team with your selection of professional management personnel. We fans feel it and I suspect you feel it too. Go Bolts.

Palmer wont have a trade market...Johnson safe on the PS...for the same reason...wrs are in abundance...but Johnson will probably be activated alot as our guys get knicked up.

Pipkens too valuable as a swing tackle...IF they dont play him at RG...Sarell out.

But who knows? Not the craziest first draft for a roster...

Yeah, how are they trading Palmer, after that draft.
I guess maybe to NYG?!?? But I can’t see it being for more than a 5th and I’d think if they just let him walk after this year, they’d get more in a comp pick.

If one of the OTs they brought in shows out, like Tyler McLellan. they’ll trade Pipkins. But that’s a long shot too right now.

5 or 6 is probably his comp value, that'll be a year later (2026 draft). he's not getting one of those $20M+ top receiver contracts.

I agree that Parham isn't a lock to make the roster but I would expect one more OL - you have 8 - need to have 9 - so thats Pipkins - maybe one less DL

I think both Palmer and Pikins will be on the roster.

I think at WR - Rice or Johnson make it.; the other they hope to get on the PS.

I like your idea about Justin Simmons too

Not bad! Pretty sure there'll be some changes but it's early.
I filled out a roster with all the names but haven't thinned them out much yet. I'd like to see a little more news from camp.

[Critty]

For me I think the offense will feature a lot of 2TE. So 1 less WR on field. Making the only money you can save on roster cuts/trade at WR depth chart Palmer. And I'm okay with 8 OL on 53 because that is 3 backups. And if one goes to IR you can add OL. For me I don't value Pipkins other than 7th Rd pick next year. I get people think but swing tackle. But from what I have seen ..there is very little difference between Pipkins as back up OT and any JAG. He already lost his job the moment they drafted Alt. And he was paid to start. I just hope Hortiz can get a draft pick for him. Palmer is just a number game and last year of contract thing and trying to find the money to give Simmons 1 Year/10mil. Defense wins championships. They can have sub package defenses where they take out an ILB and bring in Simmons. Cover and tackle better. And Simmons, IMV would impact winning games more than Palmer or Pipkins. I know Simmons would play more snaps than Pipkins and if Palmer lost out on top 3 WR and drop to WR4 behind QJ,DJ, Ladd. Then Simmons would play more snaps than him too. But I can't have Simmons unless I trade Pipkins and cut/trade Palmer. Besides they might have some of the old Chargering stink on them. Wash more of that out. Get a dog like Simmons added.

Well, if OL are "weapons" on this team, 8 OL may not be their number. Also keeping Sarrell over Pipkins isn't keeping your best players. It may save money but if we don't really need to, I'd say he isn't getting traded to keep Sarrell. Palmer either. However, I can maybe see Pip traded before Palmer. But Sarrell makes us weaker.

I don't see any of those things happening you listed but it's an early guess.

Simmons for 10 mil based on what they have signed others for? 🫤 Doubt it.
And some keep saying Chark is making 5 mil. He signed for 3.....with a chance to make up to 5. Doubt he reaches those goals if he gets hurt and we don't know what the incentives are. Could be if has to make a pro bowl, has to play 17 games, 1000 yards,...who knows.
