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.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
