All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Centre:- Jeff Faine ... the draft is light at this position and while we will then have a lot of money in the OL, giving that to Trent will hasten his development
LB:- Teddy Lehman ... was ok at start of his career, been a little injured but only 26 and former Buktus award winner
I don't want us going after the following positions
DT
CB
TE
WR
Because there is so much depth is the draft at these positions, that we could select one at each position with our first 4 picks and easily find 4 starters. What we need to do is make this like Marv's first draft as GM where we found starters all the way down to R7. We need to find people in the latter rounds who can at the very least come in and do a short term job.
Honestly i see us goin after either Bryant Johnson or Ernest Wilford at WR
maybe taking a run a t Corey Williams at DT, and i would luv to throw money at Jeff Faine for Center, but i think Fowler will play out his contract here, so really only those 2 postions, DT and WR, maybe a vet at CB too
Johnson at this point is no better than Royal or Gaines....
Bailey would be great, he'd fit our system nicely if he could stay healthy.
We'll have to out bid the Cowboys for Florence because they are targeting him.
I think Gage and Bailey would help this team immensely and are reasonable targets. Neither should command a great deal of money on the open market which makes them economically feasible to come here.
EJ while on the downside of his career, obivously, has more talent and ability than all our tight ends combined. He won't blaze by anyone but he'd be a good safety valve for a growing young QB. Basically, he's a stopgap one to two year player in my eyes til we can get the next KII, Gates, Shockey, TG type of player. That type of player is not in this year's draft nor is he available in FA. There was a reason last year why I was advocating taking Greg Olsen, athletic, difference maker at the position.
Cowboys have Newman and AHen...Florence would be a 3 there, he'd be a 2 here. I don't think they'd outbid us for a guy they're thinking nickleback about. Unless AHen is being moved to FS...seeing I know there was some talk about it.

Trust me, Jerry Jones and Wade are interested in Florence, there is talk that Henry may be a cut anyway. There has been no talk around here that I know of regarding Henry moving to FS. As of right now the Cowboys are in talks with Hamlin trying to sign him long term so that would make no sense.
boss bailey would be the ideal linebacker for the hole we need to fill, plus jauron was his DC in detroit for a couple years and i am sure knows his strengths as good as anyone.

a LB - we need to upgrade Ellison, and Stammer and Haggan may be out.
I would pick TEDDY LEHMAN over Boss Bailey. Jauron was DC at Lions in 2004-05 when both were there. In 2004, Lehman had an awesome rookie season while Bailey was on IR. Bailey only came on in 2005 after Lehman was injured. Lehman was drafted on DJs watch. He obvious had faith and ended up with a rookie who made over a 100 tackles
a C - this is a position of weakness in the draft but there is a standout FA candidate in JEFF FAINE. Can we afford to miss out here?
a WR - we need to have 5 decent WRs and we are two short at the mo. One will come in the draft and I think we should target someone like DJ Hackett as other names mentioned will be too pricey and will expect a No2 role at the least
