Besides dick filling a hole...
add yuor thoughts as to who and where we should fill our remaining holes on this team up to this point in FA.
Offense
Guard/Center-Simmons at guard(FA)?/Draft using a high pick on a guard/center (Mack/Unger/Luigs/Shipley/Caldwell/Wood)
Don't forget, we need a starting Guard and a back up guard/center. No more Preston or Whittle.
I say sign Simmons and draft a center that can play guard and swing positions for us. Draft one of those guys above in round three that is capable of playing quickly if Simmons goes down.
TE-No one good left in FA unless we trade for Scheffler. Draft Pettigrew/Nelson/Cook/Ingram in round two.
I say, if we can't trade Roscoe for Scheffler or trade a fourth round pick for Scheffler then draft the best of the TE's above in round two.
RB-Veteran experience only. Looks like Foster is the only one left unless James is released by the Cards. Foster will cost less and may only be needed for four games due to a suspension for Lynch.
I say, sign Foster even though James would help us more in the absence of Lynch.
Defense
OLB-We already have Bowen as a draft pick to rely on. Cato June and Freddy Keiaho are obvious players to sign. Peterson would work well if his injuries are behind him but age is not. He could swing between MLB and OLB.
I say sign June.
DT-Is McCargo able to show he has what it takes? Doubtful. We need at least a veteran presence to fill the rotation. The draft is wek at DT. OBD hasn't brought any FA DT's in but there are a few left.
I say, while we're signing risky players (TO) go sign Tank Johnson.
DE-Absolutely no FA DE's out there. Draft only!
I say, if Orakpo is there at #11...pull the trigger. Otherwise it's either Brown or Maybin in round one. If OBD is worried that Orakpo won't be there at #11, then trade Schobel to the Browns and draft him in their pick. While it gets Schobel off our payroll it evens out with a salary in a higher draft pick and we get our man Orakpo for at least 4 years. Schobel is running on empty anyway.
CB-Even though we have Florence, draft a later round CB like Reggie Corner for depth.
I say, draft a second day CB.
Safety-FA Resign Wilson to keep our rotation of safeties available. Otherwise draft a second day pick for depth.
I say, resign Wilson.
Let's hear your opinions.
