If we dont sign Fleming/Waddle, what is the plan for OL?

[NorthwestDallas40]

I was on board with signing a young RT like Fleming/Waddle and moving Collins to LG if (big IF) that meant that it got our best 5 OL on the field. But seeing no movement on the Fleming/Waddle front, and Cooper signing with SF, I again am beyond frustrated with our approach to free agency. If the "plan" is to low ball them, and once they sign elsewhere, to draft Kolton Miller or Will Hernandez and think they are plug-and-play ready, that is foolish. I wont even consider the possibility that Chaz Green is the fallback option. Seriously, I thought last year's free agency debacle was bad (as it was happening in Feb and March). This one may turn out to be worse.

what the hell is the plan for LB?
what the hell is the plan for S?
what the hell is the plan for TE?

[HardHittin'Witten]

Torrin Tucker or maybe Char-ron Dorsey

Does Green ring a bell?

Until those players like Fleming sign somewhere else I would still be open to the possibility of a contract. If we do not sign anyone for LB, O line, S before the draft then I believe the picks we have (9 from my understanding) can very well be used for bringing in freshman to fight for a starting spot. I have beaten this into the ground already but we did lose a few starting players in our secondary especially CB with the bright spot of Anthony Brown showing flashes and look how that changed with just drafting a few players.

Draft a rookie guard in the 1st 3 rounds...I’m perfectly fine with that and it should work out just fine. The bigger issue to me swing OT. Need someone there and that’s not a position you can draft a middle round rookie and be fine, nor do we want to spend a high pick on a guy who isn’t a starter (this OT class is very weak anyway.)

Maybe Hernandez drops to us.

Plan?..............This FO is no better at "plans" than Dez is at running routes.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Hernandez or Wynn would be my guess for the plan.

 

[Stash]

Maybe Hernandez drops to us.

I love Hernandez, but I don't see him "dropping" to us but instead we would "reach" for him at #19.

For a Frederick type trade down into the late twenties or end of the first round? He'd be perfect.

Flemming and Waddle are still available, and one could be signed any time. I don't understand the rush to get worried or upset about something that we don't yet even know about.

LB - Lee, Smith, Wilson - depth Thomas, March-Lillard, Johnson - probably add one/two in the draft especially someone to replace Lee
S - Probably move Awuzie to S, then Awuzie, Frazier, Woods, Heath - maybe if one falls right in draft to take Heath spot
CB - Lewis, Brown, Jones, White, Thomas - could and will add one in draft
TE - Witten, Gathers, Jarwin, Swaim, Hanna - could add one in draft and remove Swaim and Hanna
WR - Bryant, Williams, Beasley, Switzer, Brown, Thompson - probably add one/two in draft, could trade Beasley during draft, also have Cannon and Lenoir who they like
OL - waiting game, if sign Fleming OT and Marcus Martin OG, then probably OL in 2nd round of draft, if not could be Miller at 19 to be RT and Collins to LG

Might not like it but it is what it is

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They are gonna pull someone from retirement or gonna draft someone. ITs going to be a JAG they sign.

Moving Awuzie would frustrate me to no end

I would be surprised if we do that. He may not be a speedster, but he seems to have very good instincts at CB. And he has the size to play with bigger receivers.
