Free Agency Strategy!

[Acheman08]

This is our free agency strategy:

 

[quickccc]

Replace D-law with Kinlaw!!!

Replace a DE with a DT ...?

 

[quickccc]

We have too many holes to be trading away picks. Don't be surprised if we trade back to get more picks.

i highly expect we'll trade back to regain that 4th rd pick ( WR Mingo)

Didn't we do the same last year in 2024 fourth round per regaining back the Trey Lance pick ?

 

[quickccc]

I don't see a WR in the 1st under any circumstances. Simply because it doesn't help fix either one of the two biggest problems with this team.

Wasn't that the thinking of draft fans in NFL draft class of 2021 when many were lobbying for a defensive linemen for a porous defense .
per ex LSU DE K'Lavon Chaisson
.
Yet McClay took the very best player available accord to value of their draft board in CeeDee Lamb, (even though we already had Amari Cooper/Mike Gallup)
Club saw a blue chip player and thought not to pass him up just for the sake of pure position need. Not for the sake of reaching, ..that seems the goal.

- With Overshown on career mend, and only Marist at LB, who else do we have at LB ?
Without Hendricks we only have one active legit LB, Damon Clark is JAG. i could see us drafting another off LB within round two and three, not out of question.

Hendricks return would depend upon DC Eberflus and his Tampa 2 scheme,..and cap boy Stephen,..
i reckon he would be cheap considering his age, durability and limitations. He's already age 33 and not fleet footed. Marist will be starting Mike but wheres' the
off ball OLBs ? be great to have some kinda help in FA for a vet off ball LB

The front seven is severely lacking in depth and enough talent to win in this league, and they also don’t have enough speed/playmakers on offense.

That couldn’t be fixed by a motivated and talented front office in one off season. By the time they could possibly fix it…IF everything goes right, where is the QB physically at that point?

Then you have to eat his dead money AND find his replacement. This team is dead for a while. I’m just looking forward to Jerry humiliating himself along the way. Ought to be good.

I truly hate to put it that way, but I ain’t the one who put this team in that spot, and there’s no hindsight involved.

RB1 in the 1st

WR2 - Mingo
Slot - Turp

CD, Mingo, Turp.

All fast.

 

[DuncanIso]

Big thing is that they have to change their fa strategy, not just sign bottom of the barrel type players.

Dak due to earn 400M+ in career earnings.

That’s where all the UFA $$$ went.

 

[Rayman70]

Btw guys, don't be shocked when it's another mass exodus of players from our team going elsewhere. I expect it. Much like last year. It hurt badly. Only because we never properly replaced them or made upgrades. As of right now, we have no number 2 wr, no true starter at dt or DE other than OSA. Zero healthy proven linebacker, no CB that can be close to as good as Diggs, when healthy. We might be without him half the year, not to mention overshown

 

[Rayman70]

I see a cooper Kupp signing or Lockett. Possibly even a linebacker or CB.

 

[Jipper]

We need that picture of the two guys in space balls combing the dessert with the hair pick

 

[Coogiguy03]

von miller??? yikes

Replace a DE with a DT ...?

I was just talking about the similarities in their names

 

[Cowboyny]

Plenty of money to upgrade the roster if they chose.

 

[Ring6]

we need starting caliber DT (Williams?), and a "green dot" LB (Greenlaw?) in free agency.

WR2 would be bonus before the draft as well, if not, yeah we're having to probably reach for one in the draft

If we want to upgrade the run defense, it starts with upgrading the MLB position. Cannot go into every offseason looking to patch LB and DT and expect better results. Sign a quality fa starter and use a day 2 pick to address the positions.

 

[Sheepherder]

Looks like DK Metcalf is signing with the Steelers, according to ESPN.

 

[morasp]

If they did draft a WR2 at 12 he would need to be a day one starter with at least 800 yards receiving and 8 TDs preferably more of each. Or I'm seriously wondering why didn't we invest the pick in the trenches or trade back to add a top 100 pick to help build the trenches and draft one of the other WRs.

With all things in this franchise there is an elite evaluation and discussion involved. Fact.

A receiver from Texas ... Golden.
