When Pace spoke after the season, he pretty well stated no big contracts but will go after more medium priced players. I think that rules out Wilkeson.

FWIW Cravens is 225 lbs. As a ILB he will be to small to play there in the NFL. Arizona has got a lot of mileage out of Buchanan but he wont stay there for very long, you can get production out of smaller players but if you look at history they dont hold up over long career. He could play a SS and in sub packages line up at ILB, he is a good football player but fitting in a system that uses his talent wisely will get him a starter job but at SS. He is great in coverage, but does get blocked easily, as AZ brought up.

I agree with you, i dont think he us a trouble maker, just quirky and selfish (wants more money)with everybody hurt, he was double teamed all the time with everyone hurt. He is a good blocker and cTchs the ball well. He has a contract if he goes along with the team concept, it would be dumb to get rid of him . Thjs is the first year miller has been relatively healthy, you cant trust his health issues

I dont get all the rave for Nkemdiche, all the talent in the world and didnt play that way in college.

I have several conflicting reports on Smith, one said he may not play in 2016. As far as I am concerned, you dont draft a player you may not see for a year. Hmm, Whites name comes to mind. That will not happen again. Nothing is for sure but drafting a pre injured player is not in cards. Jack is another story, he will be ready to play and would love him. Another name would be Scooby Wright, made it back from injury to play a few games. Will be a stud at the next level.

no freaking way, just because they might be good prospects doesnt mean we draft a QB at 11. We have a QB that can take us to a good place, we should draft a prospect in the 5th or 6th round that we can groom for 3 or 4 years from now. Someone like Brandon Doughty or Kevin Hogan.

Marshall is one of the top 5 WRs over the last 5 years, but he has lots of baggage. He wears his welcome out everywhere he goes. Teams rarely let great players go, but he is on his 4 th team. That in itself suggests many problems. If you have ever been around his personality type, he talks big but it is always about himself. It just doesnt fit well with team chemistry. You will see this new season, there will start to be problems because that is his history. We have moved forward and life is much better going forward without him. How long was he here? We didnt win anything, point made.

It is all good for being quick, now it gives up more time to reel in a new guy.

I think Forte still has valve, and would add to the mix if kept. Foxy always goes with RB by committee and would keep Matt fresher when he is in there. You offer him a team friendly deal, and if he takes it great, if not, just move on. Maybe a 2 year deal worth 7 mil, with 4 guaranteed.

I personally think we should go DL with lots of prospects there at 11 and get Scooby Wright in the second. I think he will be a stud at ILB

I think we offer Forte 2 year 8 million. If he doesnt take it, I can be happy with Carey and Langford going forward.

We have to tag him until we see what we have in White

we should make top 10 , its a moot point unless we are top 5 so, 6 through 15 are close in talent

I agree, fill the spots we need help in , instead of trying to make players fit somewhere else.

Time will tell, those are all 18 lbs, 12 lbs and 20 lbs more that Cravens. Could he be a stud,maybe, but likely not in the same class as those three. Odds are against him and would rather have A Ragland type than take a high pick on someone small. We need closer to sure things than risky picks.

Cravens is a good player but at 222 lbs will never play LB in the NFL, SS will be his position at the next level.

I would love the first choices, I see Scooby Wright end up being the best LB drafted this year. His injury caused him to slide to the second round or he would be a top 15 pick.The slots fit right on your picks on everything I have read so far. Ragland is Alabama's defensive leader so we need someone to add leadership to our defense. We have so many needs, we could go many different directions. OL needs help, I think we need to get a starter at RG which we may be able to find with our 4th or 5th round picks. I think Grasu puts on some weight and adds strength where he will be ok at center going forward because he hasnt played well so far. I think we need to move Long to LT and just leave him there and Fabuluje ends up being our RT going forward. We still have a problem at S and hopefully grab a SS in Free Agency. If we end up getting one of the stud ILBers in Free Agency then my first round pick would fall to DeForest Buckner or Emmanuel Ogbah.

I agree with Jeffery and grabbing Berry, do not think they will go after a top flight LT. I think they go after someone to shore up the middle of the defense. Hopefully Danny Trevathan or Rolando McClain- maybe Michel Wilhoite. An offensive guard like a Alex Boone or Kelechi Osemele for the line. I think we spend some money on key spots beside Jeffery, like a top flight safety or ILB. So my desire acquisitions would be : resign Jeffrey Danny Trevathan Alex Boone because of the money Trevathan will cost we go after SS David Burton also from Denver who has played well on the best defense in the league. In the draft we address best player available probably a 5T DE or another inside LB. I also think we grab a LT and another OLB or CB early in the draft. I think we move on from Bennett and grab a TE in the middle rounds or maybe a free agent like DWayne Allen or even Coby Fleener.

I think a key thing we are missing here is Fox hires great coaches. When in Denver he had Del Rio and McCoy then Gase. I think if we lose them the possibility exists he adds good coaches . McCoy's head coaching job is in jeopardy in SD, so maybe we get him if Gase leaves. I think Fangio may be able to stay around, but I think Gase is gone for no other reason that there is so many jobs available no way someone doesn't steal him. As far as defense the main great find is Porter at 29 years old. He has a history that he can play good and if he stays healthy, can be a stud. Fuller has looked better probably because he is getting good play around him and it helps him moving forward. Callahan has played well be we need to see more tape for a consistency factor. Amos has the potential to be a future pro bowl type but we need to see more games going forward. Goldman could be a 10 starter, Jenkins can be a future rotational guy and possibly Gaston. LBers is where we will need the most help in the draft. If we can draft a stud LB and get another potential starter, our defense could have a bright future. So as far as the draft goes for the defense we need another DE, a couple of LBers, and another safety we will be on the way to a good defense. Offensively we need to resign Jeffery, add a couple of OLineman. Anybody know much about Paxton Lynch? He could be a 3rd addition to our future Qb position. I have heard some good things about him.

I think we need to lock up Gase, give him a assistant head coaching title and lots of money. Promise him their the job.

I think we have our RB of the future, resign jeffery and load up on offense lineman and we will have something

I know this roster is short on talent, but those coaches sure get the max out of marginal players.

This is one of the top Ds in the league, and Gase it tearing them up
