both FA and the draft are stupendously deep at every single position of great weakness on theis team and if we don't walk into august with all of those positions seeing significant investment then shame on us.

Really though. 

Combine our cap space with our draft position and there's no excuses this offseason. There is NO reason why this team can't be back in the conference championship next season. 

And that's coming from someone who 90% of the time is VERY pesimistic.

I'm surprised to see Cyprien graded out so well. I was a fan of him back during the draft process and has always been a player I like to watch.

However if you go over to the Jags board the entire board couldn't care less if they bring him back or not. He is truly a in box safety these days and struggles in coverage. 

He could be a nice get and not cost too much.

Sheard/JPP/Cyprien would be a nice trio without costing too much besides JPP obviously

3 great young fullbacks I'd love to have here. Really think we should snag one of them at whatever the market cost for a FB is rather than trying to draft one late or try out UDFAs like we've been doing. That to me should be a priority in FA, first day even. One of the few positions that getting a top player won't break the bank but will have a huge impact on the team. Tolbert needs to go.

Same.  I remember when he was drafted, how pissed I got that we couldn't get him coming out of FIU. I don't know what happened in JAX, but I'm guessing a change of scenery to a defensive mastermind like Carolina will resurrect him. 

I'm also happy with bringing in Jefferson, but I prefer Cyprien's style here and he's an inch taller...not that it really matters, but just sayin'.  Cyprien reminds me of Mike Mitchell and Chris Harris' style of play and then we brought them here and they thrived. 

Let's do it again and then we can go either Barnett/Fournette in R1 instead of safety. Or we could technically go Adams/Hooker in R1 and then come back with Chandler Jones or JPP at DE.

All positions but Tackle it seems :(

Sebastian Vollmer.

Sat out the entire year with a bad...hip? Anyway he missed the year and he could be a nice cheap get on a prove it type deal. 

He was solid when healthy before this past season. I'm guessing Dave and company are happy with Williams at RT though...

Thing is we need multiple DE's and really only one safety, preferably a SS.

Give me the young motors on cheaper deals at a more premium position combined with experience on the back end instead of the other way around.  Please.

In FA, give me:

DE Chandler Jones

SAF Jonathan Cyprien

one of Kenny Stills/Kendall Wright/Cordarelle Patterson 

FB James Develin.  

Franchise Short.  

Re-sign Remmers for backup, Johnson for nickel, CJ for cheap and see if you can get Addison back on a sweetheart deal... if not, let him go. 

Release Tolbert.  Try to restructure J.Stew to a 2 or 3 yr deal at a lower cap number....dude has already made his dough.

Draft Derek Barnett, D'Onta Foreman and trade 3rd rounder + 18 3rd rounder for Joe Thomas or Joe Staley, draft Jordan Leggett with our 3rd compensatory.

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
