2007 Offseason:
Resign:
WR Andre Davis-Good ST player, will be the only reason he sticks around
DE Anthony Hargrove-Played inside and outside and made a visible difference
CB Jabari Greer-ST and depth player
CB Kiwaukee Thomas-Played well when given time
S Coy Wire-ST gunner, and showed surprisingly good depth
Cut:
QB Kelly Holcolmb-Do I need a reason?
Sign:
RB Musa Smith-Power runner, could be a good Brandon Jacobs
WR Mike Furrey-Came on strong at the end of the year could be an ideal Don Beebe type
TE Daniel Graham-Would be my #1 priority FA this offseason
TE Visanthe Shiancoe-Would only be picked up if we fail to get Graham
OG David Diehl-Ideal OG for our road grading O, shouldnt be overly expensive with most high cap teams concentrated on Steinbach
OL Cosey Coleman-Versatile player who could do for us what Gandy did but better
CB Ricky Manning Jr-Could be a starter for us oppositte Mcgee
LB Boss Bailey-Will push Spikes, or start if we move Crowell inside
LB EJ Henderson-Could be an impact MLB with his quick lateral movement
Draft:
1. DE Jamaal Anderson-Arkansas
Ultra Quick DE who has the size to be a dominant pass rusher in this league for years to come. Led SEC with 13.5 sacks and finished 2nd in the SEC with 19.5 tackles for loss. Would be a great compliment to Schoebel who is weak against the run.
2. LB Brandon Siler-Florida
Incredible quickness and has a nose for the football. Had 77 tackles for the national champs and was one of the leaders for the Gators this season.
3. CB Eric Wright-UNLV
Good speed CB who has the uncanny ability to be able to locate the ball already in air. He is younger and has little experience but yet has shown flashes in limited time. Also a returner
4. RB Lorenzo Booker-FSU
One word can potentially describe Booker-Gamebreaker. Anybody who has followed his career knows that this kid can take the ball to the house on any play. He is special and his career has been marred by injuries and a putrid FSU offense.
6. QB Chris Leak-Florida
Everybody saw what he can on the national stage against Ohio State but unless he comes up big at the combine and senior bowl he still may be sitting here and he would be a steal this late. Ideal 2-3 year backup and could challenge JP in a few years or be used as trade bait ala Matt Schaub.
7. WR Matt Trannon-Michigan State-Everybody is calling him this years Marques Colston, Im not going to annoint him anything, other than a versatile player with great size, good speed, and catches the ball at its highest point. He also goes over the middle.
Analysis:
I think our team is pretty solid overall, I think we need to increase the pass rush to make the Cover 2 more effective, while also beefing up our LB corp. Adding Bailey, Henderson, and Siler to our current crop we would be dominate and also be deep. We will need it also because our CB's are going to take a hit with losing Nate, so Ko and Donte have to step it up. I think our OL was solid near the end of the year and I dont want to mess with that too much other than Diehl for a new starting guard. Furrey could be an amazing under the radar pickup for us, should we get a shot.
So now it begs the question; Is this realistic?
I think so, none of the picks need to fall a ton or are big reaches and all the FA's are within our price range, will we sign that many? I doubt it, but who knows with Levy in year 2.
