What do we need? Trade deadline talk.....

Recommended Posts

   With the trade deadline less than 3 weeks away, what(if any) position(s) do you feel need addressed? Or certain players that might be available you would like to see us make a play for. 

   I would like to see a solid CB option added. And/or a Safety with range to play single high FS. An injury at CB could be a disaster. And that’s with Cap playing subpar as it is. Don’t need an All-Pro just a backup plan and depth. Someone like the player who was signed for that role in Cockrell. 

    And neither Reid nor Adams is effective in space. And I don’t see Gaulden as that guy yet. 

   I’d mention OT, but if there were any available at a reasonable price, we probably would have made a move before. And they are playing very well.

Would love a spark at DE...but not sure what would be out there thats worth trading for right now.  Someone that can disrupt the QB to help out our Defense which right now is struggling. 

In a madden-like world id suggest Clowney as he’s in the last year of his deal and the Texans aren’t going to be competing this season anyways but that’s a dream.

Also a corner to start opposite of Bradberry to move Jackson into the slot would be nice.

  Agreed. But any true upgrade would be expensive I’m sure. But I would love to hear some options. Also hoping JPep is just rounding into shape. 

  This is where the “idea” of a pass-rushing EDGE option was solid. 10-15 snaps in passing situations with no responsibility but get the QB. Just draft a full-grown one instead of an undersized LB. 

  Obada progressing would be a helpful “answer on the roster” moment. Just don’t know yet.

Going to throw out a name. It's not likely but it's possible and especially given our trade history. 

Shaq Lawson. Beane didn't draft him and he hasn't lived up to his status. Wouldn't give up anything more than a 4th though.

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
