Signing depth guys like Ford and Scharping also seems to indicate that they aren't planning on drafting depth there. Obviously, it depends on how their board falls, but looking at how FA has fallen, it looks like it would have to be a value pick.
Brown was not a planned signing. Per Pollack, at the last minute, Duke told him, "Hey, take a look at this guy.". Pollack said adding a big ticket T wasn't even on his radar. My guess is that they pounced because the FA T market is extremely soft and they had cap to burn after losing Bell.
Looking at the current roster, those draft picks start getting spoken for rather quickly when we need a TE1, plus a TE2 or 3, a S to compete with/supplant Scott, RB2, depth at outside CB, plus wiggle room for value drops.
I see you are preparing us for not drafting a RT early...
That is cool, IF Jackson Carman becomes a stud there which in my eyes is the ideal scenario. If Carman becomes a stud at RT bright days
are ahead. Plus if we draft a RT at 28 and he gets beaten out by Carman that would he another what if scenario in the future I wouldn't like
to play in. We will see, hope the cards just fell right for us, sure seems so with Orlando Brown who's agent just contacted us because he
wanted to play LT.
With Jonah wanting a trade instead of moving to RT it also could benefit us in a great way, who knows, he wasn't exactly great at LT and
has been injury prone his entire time here.
