I'm surprised we haven't reached out to Wilcox and Wolffe yet.

We will

[carolina-chuck]

A safety will def be taken in the 4th. If not, we will move back up into the 2nd or especially 3rd for one of these guys. We have met we the lower tiers guys so far like Shamarko, Duke, etc. instead of the 2nd rounder guys like Reid, Phillip Thomas, etc.

Seems like we scout almost exclusively WR and Safeties.

This makes me think that Ginn, Mitchell, Moore, and maybe even Blackburn were special teams signings first and foremost. Not that they cannot compete for starting roles, but nobody is talking about how GOOD our special teams will be-if only we had a kicker and punter.

I keep waiting for Gettlemen to do something about RG--I am getting nervous about it!

I hope he is not satisfied at DT as well.

Every move he has made has suggested that he has identified our positions of need and he is doing something about it. Fear not...he is not finished making moves...looking for guys who can improve our roster on the cheap

[panther4life]

anyone have a list of everyone we have either visited with or have scheduled private workouts with?

I have SO MUCH FAITH in Gettlemen. We were $16 million above the cap, made a few cuts that really did not make us worse in relation to 2012, did not extend many deals. We still got better in free agency with our best free agency period --probably in team history (including Marty's $70 million shopping spree in 2010). I honestly believe that we will have no idea who we are drafting next month by the time April 25 rolls around. Not drafting for need is something unique to us.

I would not trade Gettlemen for any GM in the league right now.

yep. agreed 100%.

[LinvilleGorge]

I have to imagine we're going to make a move at RG. We tried to land Booth, it just didn't work out. I think we'll end up adding a cheap vet there. It's not like it would take much to be an upgrade.

there's still a few waves of FA still to come. i think it will be addressed prior to the draft, but even if not there's going to be a few cut loose, esp. if this draft class is as good as touted to be.

we might pick one up late in the draft...maybe a big fat OT that we convert to OG (like jahri evans and carl nicks were) and/or pick up one that gets cut loose for cap reasons and has to settle for a cheap one or two year deal (like will be going on quite a bit all through the offseason).

Your glowing endorsement of Gettleman made me pause and smile. I had to think about it, but once I did...I agree with you. I am liking Gettleman a lot.

What a freaking departure from Hurney this guy is. Where would we be if Marty were still at the helm?

It's all about the moving pawts and da qwataback.
