I’d be interested to see what kind of market Paul Richardson has.

Won't we be nearing the $30M mark once they cut Hali?

Yep. I think they're going to primarily draft defense and they're going to bring in offensive help through FA.

Hill
A. Robinson
Conley
D. Robinson
Chesson

I think it has less to do with the amount of cap space that we have and more to do with how much other teams (with way more cap space) are going to overpay.

O.city · 03-08-2018, 10:36 AM

Maybe they trade for a big name WR?

Around $27.5M.

Probably another $6M if they cut Bailey and about 1 mil if they cut Zombo.

Yeah I agree. If I was a GM I would honestly never draft an offensive skill position in rd 1.

QB
Defense
OL

Outside of QB you need young, fast talent on defense in this era. Just gotta hit on the picks.

Trades seem to be coming pretty cheap ever since trade rules have loosened up. It's possible.

Depends.

If a guy like ODB or Gronk were there, yeah I'd do it.

Otherwise, I'd stick to stocking my defense with legit fast badasses.

So I'm guessing they overpay for one of those guys.

Unless they trade for a wildcard or something.

I just don't get that. There aren't really any pass rush options but if you're going to make a splash in free agency go get a corner or a d-lineman.

This is what I'm guessing.

Maybe a WR that another team doesn't wanna sign to a contract that's on a rookie deal or something.

Like I said I see Veach being aggressive

I agree the D needs to be fixed but I can see us signing a top WR out of the gate too.

If you read or listened to Veach he said they reviewed the second half of titans game and figured out the weaknesses.

I think one thing they saw was when kelcie went down the only other real receiving threat was hill. Why not get Pat one more weapon make this O elite.

Draft and get later young free agents for the D. Let the D grow and become better as the season goes on and by playoff push they will have experience. Let Houston and Berry be the leaders of the D teaching the young kids and pushing them. I love these ideas if they really come true.

Not really any splash players out there to get though.

Gotta think, even if a guy is a good player, theres a reason he's hitting free agency. Sometimes it's just money, but more likely theres some flaws or shit that is going on.

I'd love them to be able to sign a badass CB and DL. But that doesn't seem optimal right now.

So go cheaper and hit some mid tier guys on D and build a young fast cheap d.

ToxSocks · 03-08-2018, 10:42 AM

I'm curious to see how Jordan Mathews' market develops. I think i'd rather take a cheap flyer on him than overpay for Watkins.
