It was not long ago our own players wanted out. That culture changed and now we showed those like Rankins and Cappa the door for underperforming.

No doubt, we have work to do in FA yet, but the real work is on teh coaches to improve the roster. We need them to take good NFL players and make 2 or 3 great.

The FO took the #1 FA in 2025 Tee off the market and then did what many of us said may be a mistake signed him long term. They paid him. Maybe time to give the FO props for a job well done.

True, still need a Guard or two, but so far they have done a good job of making sure this team didn't regress which could of happened 
if we lost some of these solid to great players. Need the new coaches to coach the young guys up, namely in the trenches as we did 
invest into some good ones last year in the Draft in Amarius Mims, Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson.

Spot on. If those 3 take huge strides, we are a much better team.

Sometimes it as much guys on the roster as adding more talent.

Golden and his staff also need to get the most out of all the young DBs. They have used quite a bit of draft capital on them over the past few years and injuries derailed them last season. They need to get CTB back to his 2023 level of play and continue to help Turner and Hall get better as well as continued improvement from Newton.

They have put a lot of $ into the offense but they have used most of their high round draft picks on the defensive side so it’s time to get something out of those investments.

Yep, that is what great teams do. Draft and coach up the youth. There are a lot of young, talented players for the new coaches to work with
and I am sure this upcoming Draft we can see what type of scheme Golden is going to implement by the type of players drafted. For example
I could see us drafting a pass rushing LB to be Golden's Viper in his Defense.

Should be interesting to say the least.

The DB's I think could be very good as you say, they have a lot of talent they drafted lately to get the most out of. CTB was very disappointing 
to me last year, but Turner and Dax looked pretty damn good. Fig also made some nice plays as a rookie. Have liked Jordan Battle since we 
drafted him and didn't like Lou benching him for Vonn early last season. Was a bad move.

I could see us drafting another DB early this year in Emmanwori to be that playmaking FS that we need. I don't care if Stone got some picks 
late last year, he cannot tackle and lucks into his picks. About all he has for him is good hands, I would move on from him and add a Guard.

Good post.

I did not watch much college ball, but I thought Emmanwori was a SS. He is like 230, yes? Do I have that wrong?

Would Will Hernandez be an option at G?

Yep. Coming off an ACL tear, though.

He is big, but he is fast and can cover with a lot of range. I think he could play FS for us.

As we know, Jordan Battle is strictly a SS.

Thanks for this, didn't know Hernandez was coming off an ACL tear. Makes sense why we haven't signed him then.
