I think the fact they havent addressed the DL that Allen will be the pick. I think they draft a TE and Sims gets all his money the first year, so we could cut him in year 2 with only a 666 thousand cap hit. Also we needed a blocking TE, so this is not a wasted pickup. I think we still draft a FS. Demps is just a year or two guy,not a long range answer. the draft will net us a QB prospect TE prospect OT prospect WR prospect CB prospect FS prospect DL with the first pick, Allen

We will draft a guy also, so if healthy, this may be a decent group. The key will be White, if he stays healthy and shows improvement, could be very good.

If Robinson-Harris is ready to go,I would have to say Houston is probably gone. Royal is gone. I would have to say Sutton and Feguson are probably gone.

I would have to say Porter might be gone, he only has 600 thousand dead money if cut. You figure we will add at least one draftee, so the new guys are better than what we had last year. LeBlanc and Cahahan will man the slot corner spot. Cooper, Prince A, Hall,and Fuller. Fuller costs 3 mil in dead space and they may want to give him one more chance.

He led the Cardinals in ints and PDs. He at least adds a shot of more turnovers and being reunited with Fangio from when he was drafted, that may blend well for us.

At the combine, Arians remarked he would like to keep him, so that bodes for something. It is always about money.

I think it is clear Pace is commited to building through the draft and is bringing people in the get us through the next couple of years while our drafted players develop. His first year here , was not great, he still did not have his draft people in place, his crew was left over from the last regime. His second year was great in the draft. Besides Whitehair, Howard, Floyd, we still have some upside players still developing. Bullard, Bush, Hall,Kwaitoski ,Robinson-Harris,Houston-Carson. He brought in LeBlanc who appears to be able to play. Truth be told, several of those players still have the opportunity to be starters and some may be stars. Second year players that still have something to prove, White, Amos, Goldman needs to be healthy. This year we have high picks, so the legacy of Pace will be in the draft not in FAgency.

Today Darius Butler in today, would be a total upgrade He was playing safety his last 4 games and have stated that is where he wants to play. PPF has his coverage skills as the 4th best when playing the safety position. We are seeing older guys coming in which I believe is just a stop gap while our draftees develop.

If we look at last year, we signed one larger contract Trevathan and a bunch of middles type contracts. This year our one major sign was Glennon, and now back to improving the roster while being fiscally responsible.

Marcus Cooper isnt a household name but his stats last year was very good In 2016, Cooper appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals recorded 69 tackles, four interceptions with one being returned for a touchdown and 11 pass defenses. He wasnt a starter but had 4 int and 11 PDs. Clearly better than anyone we had on the field last year. Arz is known to have good DBs and guess who led the team in ints? Cooper He was a pro bowl alternate last year. He is 6'2" 192 Here is stats as a draftee At Rutgers' pro day, Cooper ran the 40-yard dash in 4.45 and 4.46 seconds. He had a 39 1/2-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-9 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.42 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.89 seconds. He performed 20 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. Tom Compton is being signed as a swing OT, he has played on both sides, clearly not being signed to start but to add depth.

Read where we're close to signing tom Compton/OT formally from Atlanta and Marcus Cooper/CB from Arizona

We're disagreeing about a woulda , coulda, he wasn't here so you might as well pretend he would have led the league in rushing.

Actually we have two new WRs, I forgot we signed Rueben Randle, I dont think we should not think he could be a #3 type WR on this team.

If we protect the pocket, he will do well, if he gets pressure all the time,not so much.

I am not sure he rates players according to what we think he should be doing. Last year we got Sitton that was a huge upgrade, it wasnt planned but turned out well for us. The problem is we dont know who their after, they may be making offers but that doesnt mean they want to come here. Lets face it, Chicago is not a destination place for Free agents wtihout huge money on top.

He didnt want to be here, it was his choice, not what we offered. I also read Minn offered a better long term deal that we did, but he choose the one year deal.

This is not realistic according to what I see in print but this is what I got. Draftcountdown (Scott Wright) just came out with his top 300 draft list. So I did a draft with no trades and took absolutely the BPA in each round according to the list. Your score is: 14568 (GRADE: A+) Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 3: Myles Garrett, DE/OLB, Texas A&M (A+) Round 2 Pick 4: David Njoku, TE, Miami (Fla.) (A) Round 3 Pick 3: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame (A+) Round 4 Pick 4: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Southern California (A+) Round 4 Pick 10: Eddie Jackson, SS, Alabama (A+) Round 5 Pick 3: Damontae Kazee, CB, San Diego State (A) Round 7 Pick 3: Zane Gonzalez, K, Arizona State (A) Garrett wont be there, and probably not Kizer but this was a fun draft and it scored very high.

We dont know what would have happened if Forte stayed but truth is, he tailed off big time, and 75% sure he would not have did that well by what happened to him in NY.

He will do well there, Rodgers has the room as a leader plus he will get a ton of passes.

They wont be taking a QB at 3, with Glennon, that gives them the chance of taking a plum player there. As of now, Allen is back in the picture, the other choices will be Adams-Thomas-Lattimore I can see things fall this way barring a trade down. 1 Allen/5T 2 Peterman/QB 3 Justin Evans/FS 4a Fabian Moreau/CB 4b Ryan Switzer/WR or looking at a QB nobody is talking about 1 Allen/5T 2 Budda Baker/FS 3 Kevin King/CB 4a Cris Goodwin/WR 4b Chad Kelly/QB I read where all of his off field red flags came from a bar fight, since its not domestic violence , draftable

Im starting to pay attention to some of there stuff. If things work out he will be our # 2 or 3 CB ,so we have nothing to lose with adding CB depth. He IS the best CB on the roster right now. Maybe in another year D. Hall blossoms into a starter.

Alshon was not wanting to stay. His contract in Philly is 9.5 mil with 4.5 in incentives. I would have took a 5 year 60 mil-24 guarantee before that but if you want to leave, you aint staying.

IF you were on the ledge you probably had a 12 pack, so you had plenty of time to come back.

We are now in Paces wheelhouse, day 2 signing between 6 to 10 mil. We did not have a chance at Gilmore, NE is superbowl champs and paid him big money. bouye played well last year but was his first year as a starter and will prove out, he got over paided with the money he got. Ryan was not a shut down corner, but would have improved our CBs drastically. We still have players to get. Poe would be someone we could fit into what were doing but truth be told , he did not have a good year last year. 27 Ts, 1 and 1/2 sacks and one FF. I see us bringing in someone like Sylvester Williams as a depth at NT with Goldman the lead guy at a low price.Last year he had 29 Ts and 1 sack and will come much cheaper than Poe.

The whole key to this season as far as WRs, White is the savior or the goat, period.
