Predictions for FA... then draft. By position

If we draft any position in the first two (maybe even three) rounds that are not QB, WR, LT, DE, or CB then this teams management is still not getting it. Those are the highest paid positions and the most impactful. Grabbing for them in free agency gets you overpriced, underperforming players. 

LB, TE, RB, S, OG, C, and DT are all able to be had in later rounds and free agency. Look how many damn guards are available right now. 

With how deep CB is this year we really should be focused on that in the draft. Hopefully we don't go retarded over QB and give up picks for a project either. LB and TEAM can be easily upgraded in FA and OG is looking pretty promising too.

I can agree with that. I just mean generally. Going cb in the first or second would be foolish. 3rd or 4th though could be good value.

Maybe... While we all want a QB in the first round if we can't have a great one. A great CB under a cheap 5 year deal doesn't hurt either. Especially considering our CBs were horrible last year and we play against Brady and Ryan.

That makes sense. Maybe im overplaying the scarcity issue for CB. First rounders will go first round because the position has such value. Not a lot slipping talent slipping, like if it were TE.

I did not see Andrew Norwell from Jacksonville.

Because Norwell wasn't a free agent. He was a potential cut.

As of this morning though, he's not anymore.

Norwell accepted a lowered salary to stay with the Jags.

Even if we keep Teddy we will still need to add a QB . Greer will be gone . We will possibly need to add two QBs .  We need to stay at #8 and draft a QB or trade down if one is not available .  Build through the draft and roll with Teddy this year .  With CMC back and a better O-line we might get into the playoffs . A vet QB will get cut so we could pick up one one the cheap   or make a smart trade .

Not the actually player, but that would be impressive, but direction......

I see their only splash being CB (not even being a that big of a contract). A solid DB opposite Ajax is needed. I would say who but as people get cut this could change. I could see a 30 year old for maybe a 2 year deal but he has a name and rep and still plays well. 

I see them signing low costs vets at Guard (2 as a lot are available) so they could draft OG high. TE, LB (Van Noy for the right price would be nice) and safety so they can draft what ever they want (but they do have Burris and Franklin).

Then drafting QB at 8, LT in 2nd. OG in 3rd. CB in 4th..... If all 4 QBs are gone by 8, I really see them taking LT Slater at 8. OG in the 2nd or possible 3rd too. That would make the O-Line set for the next 5 to 6 years. DL is solid with Matos, Burns Obada, Kerr & Brown. Still got Haynes at DE. Need 2 more but not a priority.

I don't see them trading up and losing picks. They want to build through the draft and we are not even a few players away. There is the possibility of running one more year with TB (just saying). 

So far I'm accurate. 2 low cost vets on the O-line
