...that I agree with.
"DE Brad Scioli Ind. 4 Some people feel he's nondescript but, watch him on tape, and he's better than you think. Good two-way player, will get you 5-6 sacks and play the run well."
He's gotten better each year and is just hitting his prime! These are the kind of value/bargain picks that I'd like to see TD go after! Guys who won't command what they're worth and ones who should only improve over the next years of their careers who've played well in one capacity or another. Not pickups like Teague, undersized Ts, who we then move to another OL spot b/c he sucked at his own spot and is getting $1M more than he should for the position.
If TD does that this year, then I'll say he's a great GM.
"WR Derrius Thompson Was. 4 Teams will have to determine if he is the guy who caught 52 passes in 2002 or the one who had a mere three catches in the three previous seasons."
Didn't get many chances in Washington over the past couple of years. Would be a great 3rd/4th pickup!
"DE Lance Johnstone Min. 7 Has never been an effective anchor versus the run, but he does one thing well: Rush the quarterback. Good for 6-8 sacks."
Not a good DE against the run, but assuming we get a DT, that wouldn't be as important in our scheme as having someone to disrupt the passer/offense. He's a real sleeper.
I'd be ecstatic with:
Peterson, Scioli, Thornton, and Johnstone. Thompson as our 4th WR would be gravy. Signing those 4 is highly possible if we ditch Price soon. They're all affordable, especially collectively.
A bargain DT if we really need one would be Darrell Russell.
