Veteran FA's for the O line.

Young, athletic guys for the defense.

+1. Pro football.com had a report that stated the Pats of 2014 were the second youngest team to win a SB. The 2013 Seahawks were the youngest at 25.

Yep, youth matters.

If I may humbly add "young" Veteran FA's for the O line.

I'd like for us to bring Michael Sam for camp atleast. You don't become the SEC defensive player of the year without talent and both the Rams and Cowboys had more skill at the DE/OLB positions than us IMHO.

no way can we over looking the glaring hole at CB. no way. DL was an issue but CB was also an issue. CB is in far worse shape IMO. 1 cb and a bunch of FA projects and bums does not cover it

That's a great list Hagan!

What about Terrance Knighton?

i like knight a lot but i took him off the list because i think he will cost to much. on the list i am trying to keep cost in mind, players in the draft and prioritize by cost. cb will be the most expensive of course.

age is a guiding force also. knight was a top my list when he left jack and ended up in denver. we missed the big pay day on him, denver ended up with the bargin

so it looks like this really

NT
Terrance Knighton - price too high and i see him in oakland with jack
Dan Williams - next highest
Ahtyba Rubin - bargain upside pick ?
Damon Harrison - injury roulette deal.

if we ended up with a list like this from free agency i would be happy

ROT Joe Barksdale

ILB - Jamari Lattimore

OLB - Pernell McPhee

NT - Ahtyba Rubin

C - Stefen Wisniewski

CB - Buster Skrine

All solid upside youth picks yet most of them are not my number 1 choice. but each has shown the ability to contribute and appear to be ready to take that next step to stater stardom and price themselves out the door at the end of this contract at age 28 or so. just like knight did. we missed on that one.

serious infusion of youth and talent across the board.

mickey would go through a stack of pencils to get this one done.

i see some resigning so 3 of the 6 would be an excellent off season in my book

Mr.Riaton · 02-19-2015, 04:34 PM

Honestly,I would be happy if we can land a really good center and a really good CB in FA. Everything else can be filled through the draft. It would be nice to know how Devin Breaux is going to play for us so we could possibly use the money for a guard or DT instead of CB.

Training camp... I'll remain cautiously optimistic on Breaux. I would still prefer a seasoned FA vet at the #2 spot.
