Charles Tapper Getting Close?

Adding FA's, draft picks, Tapper and Smith to our defense next year sounds great.

Me, too.

I'm through the roof excited about THIS season, but I'm also always looking at what lies ahead with the roster and salary cap.

I drool like a bulldog when picturing Sean Lee and Jaylon Smith on the field together in base and Nickel next year.

29. David Irving (DT)

I'd like to re-sign Morris Claiborne and Barry Church or J.J. Wilcox before free agency opens. I'm not against re-signing Terrell McClain, but I'd prefer to draft and develop another DT. Getting a veteran RDE in free agency is simply a must right now, adding a second DE wouldn't hurt, either.

Then look for help in the draft wherever you can find it.

I'm never too crazy about trading up, but we'll be selecting late in every round and need to be prepared for anything.
 
We definitely could use another guy who won't generate a pass rush into the mix. Never can have too many.
 
I thought this guy wasn't going to be mentioned till next season. This would be a major bonus for us in my opinion. I think he could really help our ball club, even with no playing time up until this point. Hope we see him, even over Collins.
 
What a Tapper with Cowboys may look like:

The comfort of having La'el Collins on the bench is much more valuable than Tapper who couldn't even play 1 snap in preseason.
