I think the problem is this regime is going to have to start showing results in wins this year and do not have a QB in place. To take a chance on a rookie high that will start is the opposite side of trying to win this year so this makes sense. We can still draft a prospect and trade for McCarrin and may be able to finish 8-8 this year and would save Foxys job.

Berry gone signed. Franchise tags: Ingram Cousins Short Jason P P Chandler Jones

He is not worth it but if we get a QB prospect you have to give him something to work with.

They have 100 mil on the books, no way they let him get away. The truth is we have to resign Jeffery. Losing a good player, even though by his last two years he is not worth it ,has to be paid. I think he gets 5 year 65 mil contract with 28 guaranteed. Two things that are encouraging, he stayed in Chicago this off season and since they made him a captain last year, he seems to be more interested in being a Bear.

I think if we dont address the LT position in the offseason and Grasu comes back that may be an option but probably wont happen.

I think it is to be considered to move Long if we do not upgrade the position at LT. He may be less of a player at LT than an all pro guard but if Grasu is a competent center, it puts our best 5 on the field which would be a good thing.

We will sign one FA CB this offseason. Who do you want? I think we should target Gilmore/Buf He has been in the NFL for 5 years, has 14 int-62 PDs-4 FF At 6-1 he has the size we look for and has good speed, 4.4

Here is a review of the top LTs in this years draft. I would say bolles would be a top choice if we could get him in the second. http://www.fanragsports.com/nfl/concern-ou...le-draft-class/

Not with the first round pick. Picking at 3 you need an instant starter and potential all pro type of player, none of these QBs are even close to that. If any fall to the second, then maybe grab one but reaching for a player doesnt make him a better prospect just makes you dumb. If you have to develop one, there are several that have potential that you can get in 3 or 4.

Im thinking a slutty girlfriend this time.

Im just the messenger

As of today , Russel Okung is available for hire. the top available LTs available in Free agency is Street Address : Andrew Whitworth, , Kelvin Beachum, Riley Reiff, Ryan Clady, Russel is 29, I personally like Beachum better at 27 but we have a chance to upgrade in FAgency not with a star but better than what we got.

Clady has not played well since his injury or people wouldnt be getting rid of him. He is not worth including in a trade.

I read one scout say he was the best prospect in this draft as far as ability.

It all depends on what they think of Laske, and his development, I think Kyle would help a lot in many areas but they have so many areas of need, doubt if they think getting the best FB as a priority.

He is just giving his assessment of what might happen. He put a very complex view of it, I dont agree with all of it, but he did a good job. He may have taken a TE in FAgency and then drafted Butt, because potentially Butt may not play this year due to an injury, so he covered both bases. There is very few good OTs in free agency and if you do not take a OT in your first two picks, all you are drafting is a prospect at that position. This year is a weak OT class.

Woulda , coulda, shoulda, cant change that now. They thought this year they would be going maybe 9-7, didnt know they would suck this bad, so they took there best option at QB.

He did draft Kizer at 3, did you not draft Kizer?

I know he was hurt last year, but the his previous season sucked. Reiff has a higher upside but he will not be gotten for 4 mil a year. Bush is still never going to happen. we will always go on the younger scale until were almost ready and then maybe a few older vet throw ins.

He is pretty invested in his opinions. What do you guys think?

The only position not really addressed is OT position.

I like the draft but they are not going to bring in Kalil, he was worse than Leno has played. Reiff was rated lower than Massie last year according to the stats from PFF. Bush is a never going to happen. We are going to go after younger players not older ones. Robert Woods instead of Jackson for an example. I would have no problem paying Cousins.

Most definitely need to be ungraded, unless we prioritize it in the draft, at 1 or 2 drafted spots, probably wont be drafting a starter for this year. I seen where Kelvin Beschum was released by Jack, or possible to take a chance on Luke Joeckel ? Neither are top of the food chain but may be better than Leno.

If healthy I would be ok with that, but Houston and McPhee havent been the last few years, we need one more stud in the mix and then pay them two less money and may be able to stay healthy with less snaps.

I think if we spent the money on Ingram, that he would start ahead of McPhee and if McPhee takes a pay cut, we should keep him as a rotational player. Ingram is the real deal, and has stayed healthy, so because of McPhees injury history, easily take Ingram over McPhee. Also I seen where Jared Olick was cut by Jack. , would be a rotational player. Your thoughts.

I was listening to the SCORE this morning and they made a good point. The third player in the draft needs to be a blue chip start right away, future all pro type of player. None of the Qbs in this draft are day one starters, unless they have a desperate situation. So one caller made a suggestion that made sense. KC is up against the cap and want to resign Berry and Poe. Nick Foles is set to make 6.7 mil just year so he will be cut. Sign Foles and then draft a QB prospect in the 4th like a Davis Webb or Peterman, or Kaaya, who ever they like and might be there. Foles had a very good year in 2013 with a good supporting cast. 2013 PHI 13 10 203 317 2,891 9.1 27 2 28 173 119.2 57 221 3.9 3 4 2 He may not be a top 10 QB at the tender age of 28 but if he ends up somewhere around 15 to 20, he could be a good bridge to develop a QB prospect out of the draft. Another thing we should keep in mind, we still have Connor Shaw 2010 South Carolina 23 33 69.7% 223 6.8 1 2 124.3 32 165 5.2 0 2011 South Carolina 123 188 65.4% 1,448 7.7 14 6 148.3 135 525 3.9 8 2012 South Carolina 154 228 67.5% 1,956 8.6 17 7 158.1 131 435 3.3 3 2013 South Carolina 180 284 63.4% 2,447 8.6 24 1 162.9 154 567 3.7 6 Career 480 733 65.5% 6,074 8.3 56 16 155.9 452 1,683 3.7 17 He was a decent prospect coming out of college. He may be our developmental QB of the future already on our roster. So to answer our QB problem. Sign Foles draft a QB, lets say Peterman have Connor Shaw be our backup.
