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.

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
