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.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
