Archer: LB search continues

[Bigrandrn]

Beat me to it. Does he have anything left?

Don’t know…I don’t think he’s THAT old? It helped playing to Warner, and Denver has two other LB that balled last year when Dre was out so he was expendable at his salary. If he checks out healthy, he’s a thumper, aggressive…would look good next to Overshown.

Seems like only one team was willing to do so. And it was the Raiders of all teams.

I think CP knows what he wants.

This also doesn't have to be a one-year process, although no one wants to hear that.

Exactly.

This defensive rebuild was always 2 years plus.

I think our fans vastly underestimate how big the lack of talent on that side of the ball is.

 

[Kwyn]

I expected prices to be high this year but I didn’t have Dean any higher than $10m per year

Raiders are gonna suck. Not sure why they did this

 

[BobSacamano]

The Raiders will still suck

Still building 30 years and still in the process… seen teams win.. blow it up and get back while we’re still tooling and “liking our guys”

At a certain point push all the damn chips in and take a swing at it for a 2-3 year window

 

[erod]

What round? Could trade back from 20 and get him a little later, 20 a little high for him.

If you like him, you take him.

I hate the "value" draft nonsense. Go back to any draft and do a hindsight re-draft. It'll look absolutely nothing like the actual draft that took place.

CP just got here. Let him build what he wants. That doesn't happen immediately, but they can be much better this year.

Guess he's dealt with some injuries, but I'm not seeing anything that indicates that he's hit a wall. No time to watch film right now, but if he's healthy, he likely steps in as the best LB on the team. I'd be calling his agent right now.

 

[erod]

I would love to know what CP thinks of linebackers that are here besides Overshown. He might have a better plan for some of them.

 

[JW82]

We are handling this flawlessly.

Its like QB pressures. The almost signings scare other players into signing!

 

[MikeT22]

Dean also signed with the Raiders. We'll probably end up with someone like Quincy Williams.

Williams is now a Brown

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Devin Lloyd or Okereke would be solid additions. Hopefully we get one of them.

Okereke is likely. Lloyd is out of our range

 

[John813]

I'm surprised at the lack of rumors for Leo to come here.

Would be cheaper. Has flashed talent. Young. Not super injury prone.
Is sort of like a LVE clone. Big old school LB but isn't a slow thumper.
Can blitz, run stop.

 

[BobSacamano]

Guess we’ll just have to settle for Trey Hendrickson *sigh*

 

[exciter]

You seem happy about it.

12m a year!
Yeah, I'm happy someone else signed Dean!

Isnt he an OLB? I think they're focused an interior guy

He isn’t great in coverage

Quincy Williams signed with the Browns.

Linebacker market is super thin now.

My point was maybe trade back and pick up a 3rd, and still able to get him with that second pick. I’ve seen him projected like late 2nd into 3rd round.
