The only high paying player we will lose in free agency is Curtis Samuel so there is no reason to limit yourself to cut players only. It made sense last year when we had several high priced free agents sign. Not so much this when there are holes to fill and less players leaving. 

You’re very right about this. I’m still obviously traumatized with the events that took place last year.

Either way those are the only players I think we will be able to afford. Don’t think we’ll be in the market for high priced free agents. Maybe kick the tires on Shaquill Griffin (Fitts connection) and Jayon Brown.

My humble point of view--and there are hundreds of ways to go here---

  • Get 2 good Guards.
  • Sign a top-end CB.

Congratulate yourselves for having a good free agency.

Here is the reason I say this:

We have 4 safeties with experience (if you do not count Chinn) They are Burris, Franklin, Hartsfield, and Robinson.  Yes, we could add one here, but I am not sure we should yet.  We need a #1 CB and let Pride and Jackson cover lesser WRs.  That is our biggest need in the secondary--a #1 CB.  Personally, I want Chinn at S, QB of the defense.  I draft an OLB;SS hybrid to free him up some.

Offensively, we signed Scott, feel that Daley can play LT--and I think we address OT later--but you do NOT want a rookie LT in that was drafted in round 2-3.  They get torched.  Secondly, you could move Moton to LT and play Scott/Daley at RT--then draft a LT later for depth.  If we had 2 veteran guards and maybe a C in free agency, we could have a strong OL.

If we grabbed a CB and 2 G's in the draft, then my board looks like this:

1. QB

2. WR 3

3. C

4. OLB

5. OT

6. CB, TE, DL

I think, if Moton can switch to LT effectively, we could have a good OL with 2 free agent Guards.  What about TE?  Well, good point.  A TE in my opinion is needed, but some "experts" seem to think that Brady does not use them much.  The TE we signed in the offseason from Seattle was a converted WR at....LSU.  Meanwhile, Rhule called free agent Manhertz one of the best TEs in football, and we signed Stevens, the hybrid QB/TE from New Orleans.   I think we have a plan in  place for TE..

free agent targets 
 

(QB)well I like Ryan Fitzpatrick as a back up or bridge qb but only for back up money or less .. hopefully they bring in a vet to help the qb if we draft one 

 

(RB) there’s a handful rbs that we can get that can play spot downs or situational for the min 


(WR) samuels of course I’d like to resign but anything more then 12 mill (which that’s still kinda High) I’d pass on . Definitely need depth here even if we resign Samuels .. depth I would target would be players that can play both outside, slot and play some downs for special teams

 

(TE) Brady’s offense doesn’t warrant us too much cap or draft capital towards a TE ... Me I would trade future and later picks to get back in the mid 1st to get Kyle pitts ... I think the Tightend postion can create matchup problems... but I think untill Brady is gone this is one of the lowest priory’s just above FB 

 

(Oline) money money money!!! This is where I’d invest most our cap and or draft capital ... seems like there is a lot of talent in Free agency I hope we sign 1 or 2 starting worthy vets for the oline in free agency this important to help the next qb !!!

 

(dline) below market to min players I would be targeting in free agency  !!! We need depth !!

 

(linebackers) we need upgrades here not seeing us spending a lot of money in free agency but there is acouple linebackers I’d pay market value for 

 

(Corners and Safety's) I see a lot of value here for the panthers .. theres a lot of opportunities to scoop up a coupe solid 2ndary players in this free agency to market or below deals

Naturally you look for player connections.  Will Fitterer bang in the table for Shaq Griffen?  Maybe Dunbar?  Rhule has a past with intriguing FA pass rusher  Hasaan Redick, who on paper looks every bit of a 3-4 edge but could be an interesting LB option if they believe he has some “positional flexibility”.   I definitely see some CB and OL signings coming, and would enjoy a Norwell reunion.

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
