Let's go ahead and get this free agency/draft party started.
Free Agency
In house
Resign
- Leon Hall 2yr deal - look to use him as a safety and #4 corner
- Vincent Rey 1yr deal - solid backup and special teams
- George Iloka 4yr deal - young and versatile
- Marvin Jones 4yr deal - good number 2, can't see him as a number 1 although some might throw that type of money at him
- Mohamed Sanu 3yr deal - solid number 3 and versatile, he can be replaced if he leaves via free agency
- Eric Winston 1yr deal - solid vet to have in place in case of an issue, can easily be cut or replaced
- Brandon Thompson 1yr deal - ok rotational player, coming off of injury so might not even make team
- TJ Johnson 1yr deal - pure depth player
Let walk
- Andre Smith - solid at times but we have his replacement
- Reggie Nelson - great vet, but going to be 33 coming off of injury and a career year as far as int's go, someone will overpay
- Adam-Pacman Jones - let him test the waters then see if we can get him to a friendly vet deal
- Emmanuel Lamur - looks lost too often, lb core needs major upgrade
- Wallace Gilberry - solid rotational guy, but we need more athleticism and youth
- Brandon Tate - dude = bum, need a legit returner and a player who offers more than this awful 1 trick pony
- Pat Sims - depth player who underwhelmed
Cut
- Domata Peko - yea he had 5 sacks, but let's be honest it has to do with the two guys next to him, he get's no push and is getting old.
- Margus Hunt - really hasn't gotten a chance to see the field, maybe bring back for pre-season or if injury to another player
- AJ Hawk - father time has caught up, he's had a solid career, but doesn't offer us much
Outside Free Agents to target - hopefully we look to at least bring in a linebacker and either a DT or a CB or WR - I'll bold my top picks
- Danny Trevathian - solid backer and would provide an upgrade
- Bruce Irvin - possibly that rush backer we've been lacking
- Mark Barron - could offer us some versatility as s/lb
- Nigel Bradham - solid linebacker
- Damon Harrison - solid DT who replaces Peko
- Terrance Knighton - see above
- Brandon Mebane - plays at a high level
- Alford Morris - could offer another solid rb, but what does he have left
- Christine Micheal - will he live up to his athleticism, could be a solid stable back
- Anquan Boldin - tough vet, does he have anything left
- Jermaine Kerse - solid backup receiver
- Alshon Jeffrey - do we make a splash to take our passing attack to the next level
- Rueben Randle - solid number 3 type receiver
- Stefen Wisniewski - do we actually make an effort to upgrade center, and if so through FA or the draft
- Morris Claiborne - disappointing so far, could just need a change of scenery
- Trumaine Johnson - youth and athleticism
- Jeremy Lane - see above
- any kicker that our coaches feel can make a 40yd when the game is on the line
Draft highlighted my favorites
1st round
depending on what we do in FA Ill pick a few players per the first few rounds
- Jaylon Smith - will he fall, he sure is good
- Derron Lee - fast and athletic
- Andrew Billings - stout DT
2nd round
- Adolphus Washington
- Will Fuller - legit deep threat who still has room to improve
- Ryan Kelly - top center in draft
3rd round
- Kyler Fackrell/Tyler Matevich - small school standout at lb or hard working lunch pail type of lb
- Su'a Cravens - is he a lb or a safety
- Jalen Mills - will need a safety depending on free agency
4th round
- Braxton Miller - dynamic athlete but how will it translate to the nfl
- Max Tuerk - a center to push Bodine
- Scooby Wright - athletic lb, but has injury concerns
