That's kinda what I was eluding to...

Question on Coples; wouldn't his type be more typical of the side he would play? Imo-he and Peppers are clones with Peppers being out of position for size and skillset you are referring to... Btw-like Martin to.

Is the 7.5 including rookie pool? If so, we are looking at 2.5. If not, that is great.

Thanks for carrying the torch Jason. Great job.

Definitely get what you are saying, but just do not agree. I simply don't like signing a guy to a FA contract that is not a position player. There are tons of undrafted players that would kill to have those positions and would be cheaper than dirt.

Yea, if they don't go OL in the 1st or 2nd, something is wrong. We just need more pedigree. I think your plan is solid...

Definately love the "Marshall Plan". Just hope he puts his past in the rearview mirror.

I keep hearing about him trying LT again. Personally, I think he has the tools to succeed, but hasn't had too much of a shot. Play pro's and con's, coming into his fourth year, he hasn't stayed too healthy. On the plus side, he's smart, has quick feet and pedigree. I want the Carimi to the left talk to stop. He is a prototypical right tackle. Plus, he makes a nasty companion to our nasty RG Louis. Just sayin', give the kid a shot. Make Webb the swing tackle and draft a nasty G and C. One to start, one to groom.

Dr. Mongo is in the house to help you once again with your obsession with height. The play you are referring to had nothing to do with height. Knox fell down, plain and simple. I had a great view of it from the endzone.

Hester? Draft? Most don't think Knox will play this year, let alone ever be the same. I just think, like another poster said, that ST should come through the draft, with your youngsters making a name for themselves and working their way up. Signing guys to plat ST's knowing they will never start on O or D just seems to be more of a luxury than anything.

I have a feeling they are trying to get Forte done to figure out what is left to spend. I agree with Terra, don't get the Weems signing.(maybe the plan will reveal itself)

geez...

Don't forget Vernon Davis...

Thing is, a healthy balance is best. One or two big recievers is all anyone would to create mismatches. There are advantages to having smurfs as well. They can sit in holes, cut and accellerate faster. I'm thrilled we got Marshall and am in the minority of wanting Roy back.(incentive driven contract only) But, Bennett has his niche and Hester/Knox have their field streching ability. Lastly, big receivers that are skilled are NOT a dime a dozen. Sometimes the value is in the smaller guy.

Your obsession with height is bizarre at times.

Like it all, except cutting Williams.

As it stands now, I'd wager 4 of the 7 picks will be D.

Agreed...

Exactly! I haven't posted since FA started, but I've been thinking the same regarding freeing up cap space. To add to your comments; they can restructure contracts from the likes of Url and Peppers. They can also backload the deal and offer greater guaranteed money. Williams reluctance to sign with the Bills tells me he is considering "other options". It could still be us. There is a way if the Bears see it as THE piece that gets them over... Do I agree with a team gambling the future for instant gratification - generally no. In this case, you're damn straight I do!!!

Anybody want Dallas Clark, Joe Addai, Gary Bracket or Melvin Bullit? Geez, they put Freeney on the block...

Yes. Thats's why we re-sign Roy.(Only if it's in his contract to hit camp in shape) Cut his ass the first time he misses practice time for being tired. He's a big target, good blocker, knows the O and was best on team at getting separation at the LOS. Now, if he can cut the drops by a few. Knox is a longshot to even play IMO.

Couldn't vote from my phone, but I'll take NYJ.

He looked good against the Bears last year too. Got a chance to watch that one in person. Dude is a beast.

Agreed. Our offense will not thrive until we have a difference maker as a playmaker. None of our skill positions are currently that. Forte is a blue collar running back and all of our recievers are complimentary at best. Jackson is a threat on any down to make plays and move the chains. He can fight for bailout throws and will command double teams in the red zone creating favorable matchups for personnel and gameplan. Gotta have him!

Would love to get Jackson and Wimbley. I'm almost willing to bet Manning will not be a Redskin. I think it's Miami or the Jets. Keep in mind Jim Caldwell and Tom Moore are now with the Jets.
