The plan D.G is laying out for 2015

[Jmac]

I think this is what will happen. He will not sign a upper tier F.A. (to some Huddlers dismay). The signing of Oher(and now possibly Ginn), shows the path he is taking. He will build this team through the draft and fill the rest out with the best 'dollar wise investments' on the market. Don't think he will bring in older vets like last year. He will pick a few guys who still have tread left on the tires and want to play for a fair price. Get ready for the draft.....that's where this team will be build from, not free agency.

Yeah, we figured this out last year.

But what happens when our luck runs out and our rookies actually play like rookies and some even turn out to be busts? That's why we need to sign notable FAs

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm just fine with steering clear of the top flight FAs.  They almost always get overpaid.  Guys like Oher, Ginn, and potentially Derrick Morgan?  Those are guys who can help you fill out a roster and still leave you with the cash to make sure you can lock up your core players.  I still think that when the dust starts to settle we'll see a #2 WR signed.  I think that'll happen after the initial rush though.

Luck? Try telling Nippleshorts to his face that his draft picks have been luck and see what happens.

So many Huddlers proving why they aren't GMs

[TheMostInterestingMan]

Let's sign all the WRs and Oline!!!! Then we can let Cam and Luke and Star and Dwan and Kelvin and Bene and Norman walk cause we can sign EVERY PROVEN FA!!!!

Everyone calm down. We are on the fringe. We don't need to spend all our cap until after we lock up our core players. And if we can't possibly lock up all of our core players then we have a good problem and shouldn't need to sign a ton of FA. Calm down and breathe. The OP is right and that's honestly a good thing.

...thanks for reiterating his press conference...

You're like a miniature Buddha with hair. Prophet like, I would say.

I don't think Dave minds signing top FAs but the trend now is to give contracts fully guaranteed. Now that's just plan stupid and is why the same teams keep going to the super bowl.

don't forget he drafted Kugbila and Kenjon in a draft where we only had 5 picks.  Still, I'm glad he's picking for us.

I still say that was because he had only been here for 3 months before the draft happened. Kinda handicapped by a scouting dept. that didn't know what the new GM was interested in and was without the old GM who was fired 5 weeks into the season.

 

Hitting on 3 of the 5 picks is a good year for GMs that have been on the same team for 10 years.
