Offseason moves and draft.

Sign Lardarius Webb CB/KR/PR (2013 Draft Tender)

Draft

1 - Quinton Coples DE/DT

2 - Lavonte David OLB

4 - Casey Hayward CB

5 - Matt Reynolds OT

6 - Shawn Powell P

7 - D'Anton Lynn FS

I really like Ladarius Green (TE) but feel we have other positions of need to address.

As for the "scat back" I'm relatively clueless as to who we should pick up.

Not sold on Still, Brockers or Kirkpatrick.

1st pick subject to change if Blackmon, Kalil or Claiborne fall.

Trade down scenario with Benglas or Patriots for two first round picks my choice would be Janoris Jenkins and Courtney Upshaw.

I saw a mock draft on footballs future giving us 4 DTs...kinda ridiculous because they played well at the end of the year, but if the coaching staff thinks brockers is an impact player then we should take him. I'm hoping curry falls to our second round pick because I think improving the pass rush is a must

That's why I like Coples with our first pick. He has the ability to be very disruptive against the pass and run.

Apparently he's tearing it up at the senior bowl, if his heart is in it I'd take him

Coples does not love the game. He has trouble self-motivating. Vinny Curry on the other hand LOVES football, and you have to force him to stay away from it. That's the kind of player I want. Those are the players that become great..

That's why I said I want curry with our second pick, he's relentless and mayock was saying how he had unexpected power and held up better against the run than he thought. He did well against mike Adams in 1 on 1 pass rushing and shows that he can do it against good competition

I love the game... Can I be great? :frown:

My ideal draft, which I know 99% won't happen, would be to trade down with the Bengals for their two first rounders. Take Brockers and Jenkins in the first, then Dwight Jones in the second. Fourth through sixth round get some combination of OL, OLB, and Ron's coveted scat back (I really like Isaiah Pead and Ronnie Hillman; Chris Rainey would be nice too). In the seventh, I wouldn't mind getting Baker's replacement or just add more depth to the defense (maybe Asa Jackson or Dwight Bentley).

Edit: Actually I think it'd be better if we take either Lavonte David, Bruce Irvin, Bobby Wagner, or possibly Zach Brown in the second, then take a receiver later like Brian Quick, Tim Benford, Marvin McNutt.

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
