It's public knowledge for most by now but just to be clear vets with 4 or more years of service that got "cut" are who can sign anywhere as of 10 p.m today. Those with less are subject to the waiver wire and the teams who they are awarded to will be announced at 4 tomorrow. of course automatically get whoever we want due to our record last year.

I've got a feeling that we won't be seeing much action tonight...

I think Marty will prefer to go after young guys on waivers first (with hopes of filling in spots, expecting they have potential, and we'll develop them like draftees), it kind of falls into line with our personnel philosophy.

Then he may go after the vets later if he's not happy with what we have. I can see Tommie Harris being an immediate option though because he's been released twice in one year, price is probably pretty low.

Good news is he knows exactly who he will be awarded via waivers already, unlike other GMs, so he can offer contracts to vets tonight to fill any other holes he wants.

I still don't think we will hear anything tonight, but this is an advantage.

We might not see much action tonight but I do think we will go after some of the guys that can be signed tonight. I think that Hurney will had some older guys, help get some experience on this team.

      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.
