What I don't get is folks acting like we need to save cap space for some reason. We have around $70 mil at present. Top 5-6 in the league.
Mixon had a decent year. Over 70 at PFF. 1,000 yards. Decent receiving numbers.
We are not gonna cut Mixon to create cap space we don't really need. He was much better than Jonah or Boyd, and better than Chido, and makes less than any of those guys did last year. We are not gonna cut Cappa or BJ Hill or Karras either. Those guys were productive players.
WR2, WR3, RT, NT, and TE should be the priorities. We have large gaping hopes in the starting lineup in those spots.
In terms of upgrades, I'd start at punter. CB & safety play could be better, but I think we stay with Dax Hill & Turner at first and priortize a DT (3T) big fish in FA. Along with bringing Tee & Reader back.
After we either hit or miss there, the Tier 2 decisions get made on Jonah (no) and Boyd/Chido (if we have $$ and it is reasonable/discounted) and if we pursue another new face instead (TE, S, CB).
But this draft is deep at OT. I think Fuaga or Mims is gettable at #18. And guys like Paul, Guyton, Morgan, and the kid from BYU later. Hell, Latham could drop.
My dream FA is:
1. Tee & Reader back
2. One big fish FA (DT 1st, secondary 2nd)
3. 1 of Chido/Boyd or a new FA at sim $$$
4. Hudson & ADG back.
5. Browning, D. Sample back.
6. Tupou for NT insurance..
---that is probably 1 too many significant FAs with Chase'sxextension.
Draft from there.
Rd 1: Fuaga
Then it depends on what happened in FA..
