still like Biadasz over Ruiz? have heard Ruiz talked up more lately, and is bigger, which seems to be a factor for Solari. course you arent Solari, so that might be moot.
Yes

We have 70 mill to play with & your worried about someone being too steep.
what can I say, I'm an accountant. seriously, just want to add as many good pieces as possible. Another possible target: Connor McGovern, standout C/G from Denver, age 27. Could play G for one year in place of either the chronically hurt Iupati/Fluker, then upgrade Britt when he walks in FA (not worth another veteran contract). Not a huge priority given the depth of good Centers in the draft, but it frees up the pick to address another position. And solidifying the middle against the likes of Donald and Buckner 4 times a year - Russell wouldnt know what to do with himself!
Because we have room doesn't mean they should sign stupid ass deals that cripple us later. I am sure that JS and PC are just as concerned with the future cap implications as 57reasons is.

Draft is definitely the way to go for O line. This year is outstanding.. I want Biadasz . Been watching that dude past few years. He is a difference maker. The real deal. Becton is s pipe dream but I thought DK was going in the top ten last year too.

Paul Richardson is being released. s he the answer? or do the Hawks need more firepower? There's something going on with Stefon Diggs and Wilson and AJ Green is an UFA .

Diggs would cost pick(s) and $$ Green a boatload of $$$

so much depends on the head space of the players - who is in the better frame of mind to subvert their ego in Pete's run-heavy offense in favor of making a title run in the back end of their careers. Both great talents, Green in particular, and would be good fits with Russ' long ball proficiency, and neither has sniffed the SB, so that might be in our favor. with Green at age 32 having already made bank as a former #4 pick already, i'm sayin' there's at least a chance he doesnt just chase top dollar. If their heads are right, I'd rather sign one-year deals to Olsen at $5M and Green at $9-10M than Hooper who i would guess will command about the same figure combined.

Green and Diggs are going to cost you the 14 -15 million range. Hooper or Hunter is going to come under that. I don't see the need to sign a TE if you pick up Olsen. Part of me would rather see them pick up a stud TE. Eifert might become available too.

Irregardless you still need to draft one at this point. I'd go all in on Henry or Hooper. Why the obsession with Olsen. No on a WR. Why the obsession with a WR.

I agree Henry or Hooper would be idea. I am not obsessed with a wide receiver.nor Olsen . Alot of people think Hawks need another wideout which is perplexing since they have a perfect duo in Lockett and DK ( prototype) . I think Wilson is pushing for the Olsen signing.

Does he want a MASH unit at TE seriously. Been looking at prospects there are a few that stand out.

-Harrison Bryant ; FAU

-Cheyenne O'Grady ; Arkansas

-Adam Trautman ; Dayton

Seems the best bet is to wait till day 2 or even day 3. Kelce was day 2 & Kittle was day 3 so no telling we could find talent there at some point. Just don't trust what we have at the moment.
