Which Free Agent Addition Will Prove To Be The Best?

my ranking

1.Mike Tolbert-FB from San Diego

2.Mike Pollack-Guard from Indy

3.Reggie Smith S-from San Fransico

4.Haruki Nakumara S- from Baltimore

5.Kenny Onatolu LB- from Minnesota

6.Chris Manno-WR from AFL??

Heres my take

Tolbert is the most recognizable name and best producer of the bunch, but don't know how much he'll see the field, but i'm sure Chud will come up with some good ideas.

Pollack adds good depth at guard and insurance if Silatolu can't start right away. Was probably signed with the intention of being a starter if we did not draft a guard.

Reggie Smith may be able to challenge Martin for the starting spot, at least take away Pugh's playing time.

Nakumara is hard to judge, he was stuck behind Ed Reed on the Ravens depth chart, but Rivera's latest remarks on him make him seem like more of a special teams addition.

Kenny Onatolu was signed for his special teams prowess. Only problem is we are stacked at LB, with Beason,Davis,Anderson,Kuechly,Senn,and Jason williams who was our top tackler on special teams last year. Do we go with lb's this year?

Manno-I just can't see him making the team at this point, but he will get his chance to shine in preseason and training camp.

1. Smith: Will take Martin's spot

2. Tolbert: Plays multiple positions and will start

3. Nakumara: Will rotate with the starters and improve ST

4. Onatolu: Will improve ST

5. Pollack: Will be good depth

Hoping Medlock gets added to this.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
