Linebacker in the first?


Recommended Posts

This was probably posted somewhere but I didn't find it when I searched Kendricks.

We seem to be quite interested in him and could be a perfect replacement for TD in a few years.

I think with the free agents that we have added it will give us the opportunity to pick BPA and LB could be that pick.

I like the part where he knows everything going on the field. Down, location, everything.

We are doing a good job of due diligence and looking at a bunch of guys we like and hope are going to be there at our picks. I think with Davis's not yet signed to a contract that anything is in play. I just wouldn't do it. But then again I am no expert.

I wouldn't care for it on the surface, but there's always going to be that lingering feeling that something can happen to TD, so I could understand it.

I pray TD career ends with him walking off the field and not carried off. He is going to slow down in the next couple of years and a replacement should be on the roster.

Gettleman is stacking this roster with viable talent and BPA may always be our pick in future drafts.

Most thought that Kueckly was a bad pick when we still had Beason.  Gettleman knows his stuff.  He will look ahead a couple years and decide what we need ready to start by then and who will be gone.  Maybe Kalil, Johnson, Stewart, TD and someone else may retire or move on.  The trick is to be ready.  The Pats know this and always are in the hunt.  Gettleman knows this and will have us ready.

I can see one scenario--Draft Shaq Thompson. 

 

He could play some SS and WLB until Davis starts to slow, when he becomes the SLB and Davis moves to WLB to stretch his career. 

 

Gettlemen said he was looking to 2016, so Shaq, Luke, and Davis is a pretty solid LB corps.

Shaq would be a good get. I just don't like the switching of positions. I think it hampered Davis's growth early in his career.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
