Louis Vasquez has been released in Denver and have seen tweets that we are hot after him. He is 28 and from what I can tell has been a starter every year in the league.

That would be a nice change of pace back for us.

This is great news, finally snagged a play maker for the D. Now get S and DL and we will be smiling.

You put a lot of thought into this and have great names, but you gave away our 2nd pick to acquire Marshall, . there is no way we go after both Denver lbers

The one thing we learned last year was Pace is tight lipped. We have no idea what he is doing or want to do. I think when tomorrow comes, he will have one recruit we go after. The first contracts are usually fat ones, the kind he said he will avoid.

Would you give up a 2nd round pick for Brandon Marshall/LB ? I read a tweet that says we are interested in him, and he has a tendered offer from Broncos , so if we signed him, we would have to give up a 2nd.

We will be lucky if we get a 5th rounder, probably be a 6th

Seen a tweet that we are going to talk to J R Sweezy/OG from seahawks

In that draft, Ragland was the next pick. I would have choose him than Hunter at that spot. I dont like Nkemdiche that high just for the simple fact he wasnt productive for being such a physical specimen. That tells you alot about his work ethic and attitude.

I like all your names but do not honestly think we add a WR in free agency. I think we will probably draft one.

Goldman will be in his second year and would suspect to see steady improvement. Ferguson has potential but not playing all year hurt him. If we bring back Unrein and Jenkins (not signed yet) they are just limited snaps rotational types. We absolutely need to add a couple of more bodies to the mix. Washington hasn't panned out yet and he has been around 3 years now? You cant count him in the mix.

I agree, I have better names to draft instead of the ones he picked, but just liked the effort he put into it to get all those trades straight.

I seen this mock on FANSIDED with trades. before draft- trade AJ to Atlanta for 17th pick and 1st round next year #1-11-Myles Jack/OLB-ILB #1-17- trade pick to Jets for 20th pick-4th round-and Dee Milliner/CB #1-20-draft Hunter Henry/TE #2-trade pick 41 to Ar for pick 61 and 3rd round pick #2-61-draft Kyler Fackrell/OLB 6'5" 250 with 82 t 15 tfl 4 sacks #3-trade 72th pick and 6th round pick to 49ers for 68th pick and Bennett-draft Cris Jones/DT #3-81- Vonn Bell/FS starts from day 1 #3-93- Connor McGovern/OG 9th rated OG #4-103-Kenny Lawler/WR 52 rec and 13 TDs- 6'3" #4-115-Antonio Morrison/OLB 103 ts 12 tfl 2.5 sacks #5-trade pick 138 and 6th round pick for pick 131 #5-131-Jaylon Smith/ILB #6-167-Aaron Wallace/WR #6-186-Ronald Blair/DE 6'4"- 270 had 71 tackles-19 tfl and 7.5 sacks #6-187-Brandon Allen/QB 3400 yards-30 tds-8 int #6-189- Malcolm Mitchel/WR 58 rec and 5 TDs #7-198-Jake McGee/TE Remember we added a 1st rounder in 2017 with trade to Atl we give up AJ and Bennett who was gone anyway we get the #1 and #9 rated TEs we add Jack-Fackrell-Smith and Morrison to our LB corp we add Cris Jones and Ronald Blair to our DL we add Dee Milliner and Vonn Bell to defensive backfield a QB prospect Brandon Allen we add WRs Lawler-Wallace-Mitchel I love this kind of shit sounds good to me conclusion: starters Myles Jack-Dee Milliner-Cris Jones-Vonn Bell-Henry Hunter-Connor McGovern future stud Jaylon Smith http://nflmocks.com/2016/03/04/austin-john...couting-report/

If Jack, Buckner,or Ramsey is there, there my choices, but dont think they will be so all in on Ragland. Another name I am starting to warm up to is Shaq Lawson.

I would rate Howard and Williams both ahead of him, but he would be a good addition too.

I am not going to list every good FA and think we are going to actually sign them, so I am trying to be realistic. Ryan Pace is candlestick in his information he releases, so it could be out of the box with this. I think we target one expensive FA. Those that will receive a large payday that we might get: The one I think we will get Trevathan/ILB other possibilities: Jaye Howard/DT ( I think he will get around the same money as Trev, so dont think we sign both0 Ian Williams/DT (undersized productive player that should get 4 to 5 mil) a small chance he could be here to Damon Harrison/DT ( he will get a big payday) this could be the out of box pick we didnt expect Kelechi Osemele/OG( there are some cheaper good options) this could be the surprize we may get, probably 8-9 mil. probably one of these Jeff Allen/Alex Boone/Michael Harris of which I am ok with George Iloka/ Tashaun Gipson/I would like it to be one of these guys but probably one of these Rahim Moore/Rodney Mcleod/David Burton of which I would be ok with I think we get Trevathan, but other options: Junior Galette James Laurinaitis Sam Acho back Nick Perry Donald Butler Zak Brown I think we get one CB from this list: Prince Amukamara Josh Robinson Patrick Robinson Craig Heyward Sterling Moore In conclusion: we get Trevathan Boone Craig Heyward Donald Buter Junior Galette on a prove it deal Ian Williams Rahim Moore

I looked at Jason's list and there is a few names that stand out. Most good QBs were drafted in the first round but , every once in a while one shines. It is a shot in the dark. There is a ton of busts in the early rounds to and they cost a lot of wasted high picks. Truth be told, very few make it to the top of the heap so you should take as many shots at the position as possible.

If Foster can still be an effective back, he will be a problem if not the lead back. He will cost more than a vet deal.

That is the key to bringing any FA in here, getting them for a bargain valve. Giving he 2 to 3 mil wont happen.

I would need to research that, but more reason to throw darts at the board on the most important position in football.

I think every year we should be drafting a QB prospect, RB prospect and WR prospect. This year we will be going after a TE prospect. I think one of three 6th rounds will grab all of those prospects, 4th or 5th for the TE. Our first 3 should be a LB, DL and OL. Maybe in the 4th or 5th a S prospect. I think we bring in a TE, FS, and ILB in free agency, among other positions.

For everybody that was glad to see Lovie leave, we now get him back as the new Illini football coach. your thoughts

That would be a good call, I do not see them grabbing an older vet, over 30, they have a youth movement going, so will start with younger guys.

Royal is the right guy for that slot, but being injured all year doesnt look good on your resume. the year before we got him: 2014 SD 16 11 62 778 12.5 47T 7 3 14 4.7 15 0 1 1 62 catches and 7 TDs , a healthy Royal is EXACTLY what we need.

We tended an offer to Bellamy/WR so that will be our 5th WR slot Jeffery White Royal ? Bellamy so if we only keep 5, does that mean Wilson fills that spot? or do we bring in a rookie that can play STs? I think we keep Wilson and draft a player that we stash on our practice squad in case of injury
