I like the way Pace attacks adding players. Harris and early Robertson . Not big signing but cheap additions that at least adds depth before FAgency . I think both make the roster that keeps costs down.

Spot on.

Greg is too risky to spend 7 mil on. Injuries limited him the 2 years and his production is sliding the wrong way. Do you really want our 1 2 TEs to be injury risks?

With limited resources in the cap and draft capital I can see us going cheap on filling defensive positions. Could they bring back Bush as a starter and still get a cheap vet for competition? I'f they CAN'T get Kwit on a reasonable deal or Trevathan on the cheap, go with KPL? Bring back RRH and Urbin in the DL and let Williams go if someone wants to pay him. If they let Prince leave go with Robinson or Tolliver at CB? I read an article on Bear Goggles on Floyd and his value. They gave several examples of players breaking out in their 5th year. Dee Ford, Bud Dupree and Barrett come to mind. If you try to sign a good pass rusher they will be anywhere from 10-16 million. So if you offer him a 9-10 million a year contract extension your in the ballpark for his position. If they have 3 new starters at CB, SS, and ILB they may want to stabilize the defense with resigning him. Then use their draft to add offense and an upgrade at TE, RG and QB. Also spend free agency money on filling the offense. As an example: Bring in Ebron at TE Bring in Mariota or Keenum at QB. Bring in a Peat or Blythe to compete with Bars at RG. Also get an inexpensive OLB like JPP or a Jorden Jenkins to add to the pass rush. Then in the draft go with the BPA at OL, QB, OLB, TE or WR.

After the new OL. Coach evaluates Bars we should know that answer by what they do in free agency . They could still bring in a vet and draft pick but at low cost and draft position. Save their money for a starting TE or backup QB with starter potential.

If Kwit gets to big of an offer you think they could bring back KPL as the starter or low ball Trevathan on a couple year deal? Maybe both.

I don't see them paying him anything more than a couple mil on a one year contract. Harris is a good blocking TE but isn't a difference maker so seems they have that in JP Holtz. If I remember they signed Ted Larson over resigning Kush last year. You figure with Bars and Coward they have depth so if they bring in a RG its going to be a upgrade not as a reserve. One that seems to be a better fit and started for the Rams is Austin Brythe that would be cheaper than the three top OG free agents.

A few flaws in your projections. As much as I agree Leno is not going anywhere. Other than maybe 3 OTs available in free agency that will cost more than 10 mil that would be better, they will view the rest as not worth it. Loss plus new salary will not be worth it to them. Floyd is not worth 13 mil but as a LB he could probably get 7-8 mil in free agency. I think they offer him a contract and bring in or draft a pass rusher without a big contract to add to the pass rush. I dont think they get rid of Burton either. If he looks fully healthy, they will think he can be the 2028 TE. They will draft a TE and maybe bring in a reasonable FA. It wont be Henry or Hopper. Shaheen and Braunnecker will be let go. I think Gabriel being cut and Robinson getting a nee deal with a cap savings this year. Cohen and Patterson will be back, there weapons not easy to replace. I think they could redo Princes contract for cap savings and cut him if he doesn't accept. I think they have his replacement on the roster but may want one more year of development first.

As a ILB he would be a great idea. I think we have a decision to make bring Kwit back on a reasonable contract or give Trevathan a 1 year 6 mil deal to avoid drop off at the position. KPL coming back is a no brainer but using draft capital to fill a few positions that doesn't have a valid answer for us right now seems more likely.

I really think this is a very realistic draft. I would say that Reagor would have the most impact of any player we could draft that early. A good TE would help a lot but the TE group is rated the lowest among all positional measures. History tells us that 2 or 3 will be good TEs but rarely does rookie TEs have a large impact in the first year. Getting 2 potential OL starters if not in the first year but at least in year 2 would be a awesome draft. McFarland and Brooks would be first year contributors.

Braun is 6-3 and 235lbs , isn't that to light for a rush linebacker in our system? I remember Floyd at the same weight and people complained he was to light? We definitely need to a pass rusher but I suspect we grab a little bigger prospect. I think if they decide to keep Floyd on a lower cap hit deal they may just grab a situational pass rusher which could be on the lighter side.

I need to do more investigating before I throw shit out there.

Having watched tape on him but since you made that comment I definitely need to . Being in Thailand for the winter I have been looking at a lot of drafts not yet dwelled in a lot of tape on players. By the draft I will have did enough research to have more honest opinions.

I like your projections but don't think their going to do that. Glasgow is going to make 8-9 mil and I really doubt we do that. He will bring in a cheap vet and also draft one. I also doubt they use one of the 2nd round picks is a TE. I think they draft a OL- OLB or speedy WR. It depends on who falls to our picks. Kmet is the only one rated as a value at those spots . I think they trade back with one of those picks and get a 3rd round pick. I think they draft WR Reagon, OG Solomon Kindley and Anthony Gordon/ QB . They bring in Keenum but need a high prospect to develop. Later than the 3rd round will not get you a good one. Possibly the 4th they draft a TE , Trautman or Harrison Bryant could still be there. Rookie TEs rarely make a big impact. I think they sign Floyd to a contract at a cheaper cap hit and bring in a J. Pierre-Paul on a cheaper deal for the pass rush. They bring in a CB and SS as starters in free agency. , both those names will work well. My biggest concern is what they do at QB. Keenum will not be expensive but think they have to answer the position with a rookie for the answer if MT fails. That's why I think they draft a QB high.

No way Rivers is coming here Howard is not coming back and somewhere you lost Roquin Smith along the way.

That's a good point but Rivera is supposed to get total control given to him.

Available now. Tony Jefferson is being let go by the Ravens. Had a knee injury in October and with 7 million due this year they go for the cap space. He's 28 and an idea box safety. Good tackler and decent in coverage. Maybe a 1 year prove it deal at 5 million? Maybe a 3 year deal for 18 with 7 guaranteed? 5 against the cap this year? What say you? Will be cheaper than Dix and a better balance with Jackson being the FS all the time.

First of all explain to me why Washington would take Mack over Chase Young being they are not ready to be a SB contender ? Draft is afer free agency and would not work out.

Thoughts about ILBer . With Smith being good with his health then we bring back Kwit on a 4 year- 30 mil deal with 12 being guaranteed. Also bring back Kevin Pieere Louis on a cheap deal. Josh woods seems to be liked but I think Joel Iggy doesn't seem to be getting better. We draft one in a later round for better depth. Cameron Brown from PSU may be a fit in n the 6th.

They will get cap money, teams always do and Pace seems to be good at that. I see the problem being for who you cut another spot you need to replace. I think they think they have a potential SB run so what can you realistically cut and replace and keep a high level of defense. I think they first go to Floyd with a long term contract attempt. 4 year- 35 million with with 18 guaranteed and a cap hut in 20 at 7 million. Then they bring in a situational pass rusher type. Example Jason Pierre Paul.

This year he was bottom 5 , I'm referring to a career of being average. I'm in, the fact of being right is payment enough. Dont get me wrong , I'm all in for an upgrade, we just don't have a replacement in place. The cap issue and lack of draft capital leads me to believe he is unfortunately going to be the starter.

I think your eyes don't lie , Rodgers is great with only one SB. BRADY is great because he has won so many championships. When you see a QB over a period of time, they will show consistency. Mahomes has been great 2 years in a row, we can see it. Great teams overcome mediocrity in a QB. We have neither.

I think things contributed to his off year. Getting paid was never a thought. He is the example of never give up. New coordinator, lack of aggressive defense. Being on the field so much may have wore on him. Off year? Only year in his career that was bad. I'll take 5 years of great play for judgment not one off year. He is in his prime. Generational players usually start fading at 31- 32 unless affected by injury. If they decide to get rid of him it will under a new GM not this year. 2 bad years? Then you start to think about it, not one.

No way , if we look at last year , it gives you pause but Hall of famers do not grow on trees. 2018 happened because he came here. This year will be different for many reasons. If he goes to Washington and has 18 sacks, lots of special plays then what will you think? We need to make it work.

I think we fit the bill as a contender that an older QB might be interested in but without fixing the OL , dont seem them making the move here.
