Wild Bill Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Good start. Nice balance - 2 on Offense 2 on Defense. I'm interested to see what kind of trades we make with D Hall and W Dunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Doktor Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 You have to go A all the way! Dimitroff brought in 4 pre selected F/A's and signed all 4. All you can say, plan was executed to a "T", full marks. Well done indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb4242 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Wild Bill (3/3/2008)Good start. Nice balance - 2 on Offense 2 on Defense. I'm interested to see what kind of trades we make with D Hall and W Dunn.And NOTHING to fix the OL, AGAIN. It's our deadly offseason cycle. We stick our head in the sand & ignore the real problem on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfanjason Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I expect the line to be addressed in the draft where we will get young players we can build around instead of overpaying for guys like Fancea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfried Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I give them a B+, but if they can get Maurice Williams -- they'll get an A.As far as trades go, if they get anything less than a 1st and 3rd for D-Hall, that drops them down at least 2 grades. If they can get a fortifying OL'man and a high draft pick, then that would be good as well.If they get anything for Dunn, they get plus a half grade.--- added ---If they can get Gravy Jackson on the cheap, that's another plus a half grade.

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Robb4242 (3/3/2008)Wild Bill (3/3/2008)Good start. Nice balance - 2 on Offense 2 on Defense.

We stick our head in the sand & ignore the real problem on this team.With a draft very deep at T wouldnt that be where our 10 draft picks could be headed? There arent a whole ton of options at G in FA (unless you want to make Faneca the highest paid OL in the league...something I'm not willing to do). I think we've addressed some of the many concerns of this team and we still have left ourselves with the 3rd pick in the draft, 2 second round picks and at least 1 third round pick. I think we'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demetrius Dew Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It is way to early to give a grade, because you would need to grade the off-season based on the production of the signees.I think we could have waited until the draft to get Mendenhall or Stewart for much less than what we give Turner. But this does accomplish the task of getting a franchise player or a player that gives the fans hope and something to be excited about.

Draftnut57 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Concidering the players we got for the money we paid , that makes it an A+ , I know we had to pay a little over for Turner but when you are the #1 RB in FAcy then you have to pay a little extra to get him.

Magic Man Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 A+ all the way...this FO has the teams needs in mind...and I am convinced we will take our OL guys in the draft, although the Maurice Williams thing looks like it may pan out. I'm still just happy we got Turner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert L Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I went with a B-solid, the signings were great that we had on paper. BUT...O-line, O-line...This team needs some bodies on the front period. And also I know Boley was tender a contract but he NEEDS a long term deal-he is the type of LB that can be a cornerstone. So if a few signings take place there, It would make a strong point for an A, IF a second rounder was sent to GB for Corey Williams this could easily be an A also-A+ if some lineman were added. I am not completely in the dark about salary cap etc...but, with some players that could be cut etc...I think it COULD have happened...
