We're a couple impact players out of the draft this year from being a major contender. We don't need 7 picks this year.
I'm fine with the #23 if Tom Donahoe can get a guy he really wants there. I think we should move up with our 2nd round pick though.
Oakland would seem like the ideal place to start off with a trade. We could give them our 2nd and either a 3rd or 4th. If they bit on a 4th and 5th so we could keep our 3rd, then that would be even better.
I'd like to take a DE if the right one is there. If it's just another average one then we don't need him. We have enough average DL on our team right now.
The more I thought about it, I think Tom Donahoe is gonna try to get Faine or Steinbach with our 1st round pick. I'd be happy to get both of them.
If we are going to a power running game, then we better make sure we have the hogs up front to make it work. We have no depth besides Marcus Price on the OL.
I think TD is gonna take a C within the first 3 rounds of the draft. We midas well get the higest rated one in Faine. We didn't re-sign Conaty, and we haven't evened sniffed at any other offensive lineman in FA.
Trey Teague is not a Center. He is best suited for Guard. I'm not sure when the date is where we have to pay him a roster bonus, but I'm not sold TD will even keep him. His contract would pay him average Tackle money, and high Guard money, which he isn't really worth.
If we drafted Faine late in the first round, it would come dirt cheap. From what I hear about him, he should be an upgrade over Teague.
If we keep Teague's contract, he would be averaging around 2.5-3 million a year, which he really isn't worth. We could get Faine for about an average of 1.5 million a year.
Teague isn't good enough to take out defenders when we run up the gut. I don't care for him at Center at all.
I'd be happy taking Faine and Steinbach. Could you imagine our OL with them 2 also in the fold. Steinbach can play just about anywhere on the line. Also, Rueben isn't getting any younger or cheaper. He'll probably be replaced in a year or two after our younger guys gain more experince to be on their own.
Marques Sullivan is ok, but him and Jennings are both in the last year of their contract. I'm sure they are restricted FA's, but what kind of money would it take to re-sign them? I could handle Jennings long term if he quits getting hurt, but I don't know if I want Sullivan here long term.
Imagine this OL...
Jennings-Brown-Faine-Steinbach-Williams
That would give us Price and Sullivan as two key backups, and we'd have to draft another one, or pick one up after June 1st.
I don't see us getting Faine and Steinbach, but I can see us getting one of them.
1st Round- Jeff Faine
2nd Round- WR
3rd Round- LB
4th Round- CB/G
5th Round- G/CB
6th and 7th Round- ST's or best available player
I'd like to trade up and get two first round picks if it meant getting Washington, Jacobs, or Johnson along with Faine.
I think TD will pick up a backup RB after the June 1st cuts. I think he'll wanna go with an experienced vet.
