does this make drafting a DT or DE a little easier to deal with since he has a good track record for making a defense exceptional?

or do we try and fix the most obvious weakness on the team and get the offense back on track?

i wonder if any part of his negotiations would involve him getting to draft his guy with the 1st pick (even if we get to trade down a few spots).

thoughts?

Jerry said it - they need to score more points and generate more excitement. I hope he wasn't thinking defensive scores. lol

True. somehow i get the feeling that JR will be looking over everyone's shoulder during this draft. i doubt anything crazy happens without his blessing this year.

that being said, i am still interested in who they may be able to trade down with and still get a good value in the first rd. the only guy i think they take at #1 would be Green or Fairley.

Instant success plan for Rivera.

Step 1. Hire Josh McDaniels as your Offensive Coordinator

Step 2. Sign Deangelo Williams, Thomas Davis, and Charles Johnson

Step 3. Sign Kyle Orton

Step 4. Sign best available free agent offensive guard

Step 4a. If guard is not the play, make an offer at Aso. He, Gamble, and Munnerlyn would be a great Defensive backfield. I think you will see Rivera get more out of Martin and Godfrey next year as well.

Step 5. Draft best available Defensive player (Fairley, Dareus, Prince, Peterson....I trust Rivera to get a player that he can be successful with)

Day 1 starter at QB: Kyle Orton

Day 1 starter at WR's: Smith, Lafell (Gettis, Edwards, and cheap vet)

Day 1 starter at RB: Deangelo Williams, Stewart backing him up

O-Line Starters: Otah, FA, Kalil, Wharton, Gross

D-Line Starters: C. Johnson, N. Fairley(Vet), Landri, Hardy

LB Starters: Davis, Beason, ???? (I don't think we will match what Anderson will want)

DB Starters: Gamble, Godfrey, Martin, Munnerlyn (possibly Aso)

Nickle Back: Munnerlyn or (Peterson, Prince)

      I agree, but I've already said that the players will definitely take more money up front because it's more security. But they want more guaranteed money and NFL FOs don't want to do that for several and various reasons, and that's what's at issue.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-second-round-rookies-finally-starting-to-sign-what-took-so-long-and-what-it-means-for-future-contracts/ It's a tug of war between teams and players, and, sure, paying a player a signing bonus may satisfy them, especially if--and sometimes "only if"--it ultimately leads to a guarantee of more of their contract, but the teams are on the hook for all of those guarantees when cap time comes, so if they guarantee more money, they're ultimately losing the contract game.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
