Free Agency and the Draft

Don;t worry, Bergs, I’ll bring that Watchtower video to this thread. Cool stuff. I hadn’t seen that before. Anyhow, speaking of free agency and the draft, the team’s needs are obvious. In no particular order, they are:

  • Wide Receiver
  • Cornerback
  • Guard
  • Pass Rusher
  • (Possibly) Inside Linebacker (if Reuben is cut)
  • (Possibly) Running Back (if Carlos isn’t re-signed)

Given that free agency starts on March 14th, we will start getting answers soon. There are a shit-ton of WRs out there, as well as some top flight CBs as well. I would like to see a mix of draft picks and free agents for these spots. By the time 9 rolls around, any number of the guys they want could be gone. So holding out hope for one guy is not really an option. The backup plans will be in full play.

Given that, I have no idea. Trumaine Johnson and Kyle Fuller are fully viable options at CB that would instantly improve the secondary. Denzel Ward is also a possibility in the draft. Get one FA and one Ward, and our CBs are pretty solid. WR? There are a boatload available in free agency. Two of the top guys, Jarvis Landry and Josh Gordon, are super head-cases. Landry isn’t the suspension machine that Gordon is, so I’d pass on these guys. Marquise Lee from the Jags could be an under-the-radar guy who shines in a more prolific offense, and Allen Robinson, another Jag, could be big here.

Shit, I don’t know. The options are endless, and even the pros get this shit all wrong.

I think our first pick is . . .

  • Tremaine Edwards – (if Reuben Foster goes down) –
  • Denzel Ward – (if not)

      Louis Nix was great in 2011. Would have been a 1st rd pick. In 2012 he had knee problems and dropped to the 3rd rd.

    Nobody noticed my 8:28 post ? I googled that draft and picked out all of the biggest names that came out of that draft. I didn’t even know who half of those people were at the time LOL.
