QB: I like Matt Moore. Think he is a legit #2 and should be priced right.

RB: Lamar Miller if you can get him in under 15m guaranteed and under 6 per year. something like 5 years 27 with 10m SB and 1m yr 1, 4m in year 2 guaranteed. --but I don't think the team is even that generous at RB.
Other older vet guys like Forte if they will take a DMC contract.
Turpin/Dunbar is always an easy, very cheap combo and they know the offense.
I think the RB is a round 3-5 proposition. --much like I did last year.

WR: not much out there. I'd like to draft someone. We pay the big money to Dez.

FB: I'd like someone who is an upgrade. Stop telling me how important running is and how we need a top flight back if you are going to ignore FB. If we wanna be run first a FB is a need.
If we don't we don't need a RB upgrade at all.

TE: Coby Fleener interests me. He could be the Escobar type in this offense. We could also use a blocker... maybe Marty B wants ot come back... ok that was a joke, sorry but it did crack me up.

OL: I'd love to get Leary back but I do not take any chances on screwing over a guy then asking him to protect my 20m QB. Not saying he'd throw a lay down block just saying if he has zero motivation to study or workout bad things coudl happen.
Bern at about 2.5m a year would work again.

Pass Rusher: If we spend big I think it is here. Older short-term guy makes sense. Allow Gregory and any draft picks to grow up. But I suspect it has to be a guy known as a super professional effort guy. I'd love it to be a resigned Demarcus Ware.

CB: I'd be looking at Mo. Grass isn't always greener and two CBs have been franchised that have been considered top flight for months not years...I'd seriously consider Jalen Ramsay. Can play him much like Arizona does Honey Badger. Hybrid DB.

S: If a guy has started NFL games he's probbaly an upgrade. But Byron Jones may well be a special Safety as soon as this year.

DT: Round 2 and 3 look chock full of awesome DT fits in most mocks. I migh be tempted to go 3T at 34 and 1T in round 3. But I suspect Dallas resigns Hayden. Rod loves him.

Moore is ok. He should pick up the offense quickly.

RB is just not a priority for me. They'll be on the lookout for someone who falls otherwise think last day pick if at all. JMO.

FB is ok where it is unless it's a noticeable upgrade which probably isn't happening. I'd dump Clutts for Tolbert for 1 year.

WR I just don't know the field well.

TE ditto. I'd look young and fast. Still miffed they turned Escobar into a 'traditional' TE. They will look here with Hanna likely gone

OL needs lookout for a swing tackle

Pass rusher, pass rusher, pass rusher is the key to the draft followed by cover LBer and DB. We need guys who can tackle.

I agree with most everything. Nice post.

Looks like Doug Martin is going to hit Free Agency, I would make him a priority.

Interested in seeing who you people think could help at receiver. Who are the 'unknowns' that might be of interest?

Chris Givens, Rishard Matthews, Rueben Randle, Jermaine Kearse, Marvin Jones. Not all speedy but I think they have something.

I like Randle but I've seen him. And Kearse. Don't know the others well although I've seen Givens and Jones. What do you like about them?

I think those 2 can give some big play potential, Jones more likely than Givens. Givens is local and on his last NFL legs so it's a longshot but should be a cheap option to check out. Jones missed 2014 completely but was pretty solid last year and in 2013 looked like he was emerging. He's probably looking for a team with a good QB and short deal so he can get a bigger deal in a year or two.

I don't know where I'm getting special teams snaps out of any of the WRs or RBs I like so they may not really be feasible in the real world.

Ivory will probably command more money than he's worth. He's pretty good, but also disappears at times. My understanding is D. Martin is staying in TB. L. Miller would be pricey but a serious acquisition/answer for starting rb. Forte is worth it- if nothing else- with the understanding that he'll only be viable for 1, maybe 2 seasons. Same for Alfred Morris. None of the other backs are worth discussing.

I was just about to post this. Getting him and not attempting to draft another TE would really dip my wick. No more jumping back into the 7th for little to no return.

Also look at that head

That's the face of a winner.

Lardarius Green is a bigger playmaker in passing game than Fleener IMO.
