Ironically out of 25 we could use 17 of the 25. 

#2 LeVeon Bell - RB - Not a chance in hell we sign him.  Too much $$$$

#3 DeMarcus Lawrence - DE - He won't leave Dallas

#5 Andrew Norwell-  G - Well deserved ranking.   Hope we resign him.

#6 Allen Robinson - WR - I know many on here value this guy.  Says he's the only true #1 Wideout available.

#7 Malcolm Butler - CB - Personally I think he is overrated I am sure there would be some debate.

#8 Jarvis Landry - WR - Another player that has polarized this forum.   Personally not interested.

#10 Shelton Richardson - DT - Losing Star could bring some interest but he'll probably command more than we can afford.

#11 Ezekiel Ansah - DE - We need edge rushers.  His 2016 performance might make him affordable.

 #12 Rashaan Melvin - CB - I have no opinion one way or the other.  

#13 Lamarcus Joyner - S- Veteran Safety could help our defense.

#15 Kyle Fuller - CB - I like our young CBs and think they'll do better with Washington but Veteran CB are a hot commodity.

#16 Patrick Robinson - CB - 30 Can handle outside or slot.  Won't command high dollar due to his age.

#17 Nate Solder - OT - LT but according to the article he is slowing down.  Probably a better LT than what we currently have.

#20 Nickell Robey-Coleman - CB - Slot CB - No opinion one way or the other.

#22 Ryan Jensen - C - 1 year starter.   Rather keep Norwell and get Kalil to restructure somehow.

# 23 Justin Pugh - G - Once again Rather keep Norwell.  Pugh won't command $$$ that Norwell will get.

#24 Jerick McKinnon - RB - Not our style RB that we need

#25 Alex Okafor - DE Coming off an injury.  Not really interested.  Same injury that ruined Jon Beason's career.

 

THOUGHTS?

From this list if we can keep Norwell and get Ansah I'd be thrilled. Only other name on the list I'd try to shell out some money for is Allen Robinson but I'm 99% sure the Jags will keep him one way or another (tag or long term deal). I really like Sammy Watkins here too but same thing Rams aren't letting him walk after trading for him. 

So keep Norwell, sign Ansah and then maybe add a WR or two like a Mike Wallace, Marquise Lee, Paul Richardson, etc.

If Kyle Fuller isn't crazy expensive i'd love him here. Still young but a proven outside corner. Ansah worries me. He has had numerous injuries the past two seasons and there have been questions about his actual age since he was drafted. I've seen reports out there that say he is already 30.

It really sucks that the WR market this year is so poor when it is our biggest need.

Ansah we might be able to get at a decent price tag utilizing his 2016 performance as leverage.

Safety is a bit thin in the top 25 as well.

Norwell would put us in top free agent signing of the year, if we can just resign him.

Lol....this whole age thing with some of these athletes is crazy.

@DaveThePanther2008. Agree with all of your commentary.

I want Robsinson. He isn't coming here.

I want Norwell back. Please.

Ansah and Joyner are the only other ones I'm looking at.

Not on the list but probably worth a consideration depending on contract and demand are Morgan Burnett and Kenny Vacaro.

 

Between FAs and the Draft, a decent GM will land us at least one new safety - maybe two, a new TE, a new DE and a new RB. I feel like those are must haves.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
