Your Predictions for our Current RB, WR, S situation


Pantha-kun

Recommended Posts

With Stew released we dont have a power back on the roster. Coleman released we just have an elderly Mike Adams and who else at saftey? Then at WR we have Funchess and no one else who has proven they can stay healthy and contribute reliably for a full season. 

Im not panicing , the combine and free agency are just around the corner though so,  I'm just curious as to how you guys think we will fill the roster holes .

The pickings are fairly slim in free agency with RBs and safties. I think we use the draft for those 2 and we pick up a couple of WRs in free agency. No idea who though. 

One of the more interesting scenarios would be if we trade for a player. Id gladly throw 1 or both of our 3rds at Pittsburgh for Martavus Bryant.

whoops nevermind, Steelers apparently arent interested in trading away M.Bryant. 

Id take Sammy Watkins on a reasonable deal. 

Would not surprise me at all if we drafted either Derwin James or Ronnie Harrison with our R1 pick. And use one of our 3rds to trade up a bit in the 2nd to get our WR or RB of choice.

Draft  Chubb & WV Saftey .

I rather draft a TE like Fumgali or Goedert than take a chance on a bust WR class.

Early to tell with available players and the combine/pro days will transform the slots that prospects end up in. As of today, here's my plan:

  • WR - TRADE ......  Trade for Martavis Bryant
  • RB - DRAFT .......  Draft Chubb in R2 or Rashaad Penny in R3 or Freeman in R4
  • SAF - FA/DRAFT .....  SS Eric Reid in FA and Draft Allen/Bates/Blanding/Elliott

Here is what we will do; mark my words:

In free agency, we will

  • sign Richardson WR from Seattle.  (about $7m)
  • sign Julius Peppers DE (about $5m)
  • sign Shamar Stephen NT from Minnesota (about $3m)
  • sign Trey Burton TE from Philadelphia (about $6m)
  • Sign Terrence Brooks FS/SS NY Jets (about $4m)

DRAFT

  1.  Billy Price, OG/C  (Wild pick)
  2.  Kyzir White SS
  3. Nick Chubb RB and Brandon Parker LT
  4. NO PICK
  5.  Holton Hill CB
  6. Durham Smythe TE
  7. Chase Edmonds RB  and Jamil Demby G/T

I love how everyone's solution is "oh we'll just draft them". You really want to start a 7th round safety? Pretty sure we have a 6th round running back on the roster and unless he starts, ain't going to work. It's too early to see the plan. We fill holes in free agency with hopefully productive players. I don't think paying tre boston to come back is a good idea when we can get a safety in round 1 and 2. but WR and RB should be sought out in FA, same with defensive end and corner.

I expect us to bring in cheap veteran FA running backs to compete. Also draft one in the mid rounds and bring in an UDFA RB. It will be important to have RB competition in camp. Same goes with wide receiver and safety. Pretty much the same stuff we do every year. Doubt we make any huge FA splashes so I am hoping we have a great draft and our first few picks are big contributors. Need Byrd and Samuel to step up big next season. I would draft safety or oline in the first unless one of the top 2 WRs fall to us

No one knows who's going to be in free agency yet. Tags and cuts will change the landscape. Guys are already getting cut and jumping to the top of FA lists. 

This!

These cuts are going to be crucial. I think we can make some legit signings this year.

    • It should have only been two options to this whole situation 1) Take that Rams deal as soon as it was offered or 2) Pay the man Instead, we (yet again) chose the worst option and did neither, and we were left with trading him for scraps. The problem wasn't trading him, the problem was not taking that Rams deal. 
    • Coaches turn down shitty teams all the time. See ours. There’s a reason we had to hire a coach not a single other team even wanted to interview for a Rooney rule slot   evero also had an interview with the Steelers so he’s already had more interest than our current head coach did. Whether that was just Rooney rule remains to be seen. as I keep saying, and no one wants to address, he’s been stuck with one of the least talented units in the nfl while they throw everything they can at making bryce a top 24 qb. What scheme change or play call to help Leadership Council Member Rozeboom not vanish into the middle of the line on every blitz? Or are we asking fourth string DBs to man up Puca Nacua? To say nothing about it the offense on the other side of the ball he’s been stuck with. He wanted to leave (customary) and was forced to stay. and you all better pray he doesn’t leave because I cannot imagine how pathetic the coordinator search would become. “Come to a roster of JAGs with an offense that’ll ask you to hold every other team to less than 20 points and if the coach gets fired you’ll be forced to stay for the next one.” Did Canales masturbate with any evangelical DB coaches in Tampa that we know about?
