Psychic Gibbon Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 After a few weeks we're getting a better gauge as to what their needs will be and maybe what Nolan really intends to do with the defense, presuming they do well enough to keep the current staff. Also, under this scenario they should have roughly $32 million in cap space to play with.Re-sign:Gabe Carimi, OTRobert McClain, CBMatt Byrant, KT.J. Yates, QBAntone Smith, RBJosh Wilson, CBExtensions:Matt Bosher, P [Already done]Josh Harris, LS [Already done]Julio Jones, WRJoe Hawley, CFree Agency:Tamba Hali, DE/OLB, ChiefsThe Chiefs will likely have to make a choice between Houston and Hali and due to that they'll likely cut Hali, being the older player. He's still highly productive and is an extremely good locker room leader, his presence in large part being the reason Houston became the player he is.Jordan Cameron, TE, BrownsLots of cap space will allow a couple big signings at least. Cameron is very talented and he finally made a name for himself with Norv Turner's TE intensive offense. He may want to reunite with Turner but the Vikings have Rudolph long term so they probably won't be looking to pay another TE and it's doubtful he'll want to stay with the Browns considering how poor Manziel has looked so far. However, he'd be very welcome here.George Wilson, S, TitansNot a flashy signing but veteran depth is needed at safety.Draft:Draft Needs: OLB, LG, RT, NT, RB depth, TE depth, O-line depthPresumed draft slot: 18-241st - Vic Beasley, DE/OLB, ClemsonQuick twitch speed rusher with great agility and bend. Underrated due to his size but he can put on some weight on his frame. Pairing him up with a veteran like Hali would instantly solve out edge rush problems.2nd - Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi StateThe weakness of the defense so far, besides a lack of an edge rush, has been the LB corps. Shembo has flashed both in the preseason and in the regular season as he replaces Bartu but Worrilow continues to be inconsistent. McKinney is raw but is highly athletic, sheds blocks well, and does well getting into the backfield.3rd - Cameron Erving, OT, Florida StateHe has struggled so far this year and due to that his stock has dropped quite a bit. However, his fantastic 2013 tape, size and athleticism, and upside makes him too good to pass up at this point. Give him some good coaching and he should plug up the RT spot. Tice has also shown he can get more out of players with far less natural talent which also makes this a more comfortable pick.4th - Jay Ajayi, RB, Boise StateSome pop to pair up with Freeman's flash.5th - John Miller, G, LouisvilleBlalock has done well enough to keep around but getting a player to groom behind him is needed.6th - Darius Kilgo, DT/NT, MarylandInterior D-line depth.7th (from Rams) - Jordon James, RB, UCLA7th - C.J.

datchrisb1 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Nice, yeah I'd be okay with that. don't see Ajayi lasting to the fourth, the kind of season he is having now he could very well play his way into first round consideration right now. I think the Browns retain Cameron. Edited September 27, 2014 by datchrisb1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would totally love that LB core. We would have a killer defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I would doubt that we would sign a catching specialist like Cameron for this offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt4415 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I think it'd be wiser to sign two pass rushers in free agency such as Johnson/ Hardy, whichever the Panthers let go. Then sign an OLB such as Jason Worilds, who is still relatively young. Other than that maybe another big DT such as Nick Fairly to play the run and MLB that can cover a TE but draft other needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychic Gibbon Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'd like these picks, I don't see the staff trying to replace Worrilow but I really like MckinneyAfter Week 1, 2, and today I see no reason why Worrilow shouldn't be replaced. He's better than Bartu but that isn't saying much.You think we will get Vic Beasley in that spot? I think he'll go in the top 10. Any other round 1 picks? If we can't get him?Players have fallen for less than being somewhat undersized. At this stage I'm confident he'll fall at some point in the range I think the Falcons will be in.

Smiler11 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Wow I'd be over the moon with those FA signings and the first three picks. Not sure McKinney and Erving are there in the 2nd and 3rd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, we will have to spend big on the Defense this offseason if we really want to be able to compete for a Super Bowl.

You simply do not have that kind of money, especially when there are other positions to address. You have to be smart with your spending. That isn't, plain and simple. You also can't expect a team to land that many of the top FAs. That never happens. There are 32 teams in the NFL. What you proposed is not even the slightest bit realistic.

He looked great in 2013 but he's been inconsistent this year and has looked terrible in some games. He'll need a good deal of polish but he has fantastic potential. What will hurt his stock though is his inconsistency this season will make some teams question whether or not he is a LT or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
