I’d expect we resign D J on a 1 year deal. I’d expect we sign in FA a DT. I’d expect if we tag Tee ( expect) we posture towards a RT in the first round. In the second round they go with best player available that’s a TE or RB. After that all depth related.
Agree in the main, though I think Reader will be a multiple year deal with incentives. IDK on Chido.
Agree 100% on Tee & DJ coming back and DT (3T) being the #1 FA priority for a new face. And, accordingly, OT being the focus in Rd1.
Disagree on RB or TE being a priority in Rd2. I think WR (Boyd replacement), NT (even with Reader back), and CB/S all rate as higher priorities. Though I would not rule TE/RB out in Rd3, I think Rd2 is too high. Not a particularly strong draft for either. I could handle Stover or Braelin Allen in Rd3, though.
I expect Mixon & Brown to be RB1/RB2 next year. I also expect D. Sample & Hudson back at TE. Probably T. Williams as well. Wilcox likely though not sure he makes the roster if we only carry 3.
Dream Scenario:
1. FA: Get Higgins signed for around $20 mil per
2. FA: Sign Reader for reasonable.
3. FA: Land DT big fish (Jones, Wilkins, Madubuike).
4. FA: Keep at least 1 of Chido/Boyd
5. Draft: Rd1: RT (Mims, Fuaga)
6. Draft Rd 2: NT (Sweat), or WR if Boyd gone (Legette, Polk), or CB if Chido (Burke, Tampa), or S (Nubin).
If we whiff on a DT in FA, then maybe we make a run at Winfield or a corner or Schultz (though I doubt it). And maybe a DT is in play in Rd2 (Murphy).
Only a guy like Bowers, Newton, or DeJean might make me get off OT at #18.
