Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

I want to be clear. There is one player and one player only I have on my do everything you can to sign list. Any other players would be a cherry on the top and will require work to sign, this guy will not.

My Top "Big Ugly" Bang for the Buck in 2018
The misuse of his skill set makes him prime for a FA steal.

DaQuan Jones DT/DE Titians 6036 322 5.35 #90 Age 25 R4 2014 - $3/4 M

A massive proven run stuffing 34 DE. Does the dirty work on one of the best DL in the NFL. Ranked 16th among NFL interior linemen in run defense according to PFF in 2016.

He is big & athletic and can handle 4-3 one-technique and without question.

Watch this guy play as a 34 DE and this what you will see

Inside rush between the OTs is were he shines from his 34DE position. He is ALWAYS double teamed and is ALWAYS there to make a play against the run. He is almost unmovable and unstoppable. Double teaming him does not eliminate him from making a play. One on one blocking? He just pushes that blocker in the backfield blowing up plays and throwing that blocker to the side to make the play.

Outside pass rush is were you see the titian have him out of place. He is not the all round impact 34DE they need. Putting him outside is good for anchoring edge not sacking the QB. He can not turn the corner on an OT to save his own life.

Keep him inside and watch him shine.

The things the Saints are missing up front is what he bring to the table

He is a hand full for C and OG to handle. He eats up blockers and space all game long.

Benefits

Rankings and Jordan would surely benefit from Jones. taking up Dbls teams and stopping the run would free them up more to attack.

He could be answer to the lack of 3 man pass rush up the middle.

Most important benefit.

He would help to keep the LBers clean to make plays
He would also open up more lanes for the blitz

Hands down the biggest bang for the buck FA in 2018. His impact would be felt across the board for the front 7 as a unit. Blitzers will be loving him. I love the dirty work players.

Get ready I am starting to :deadhorse2: early this year

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

We need a true MIKE on D. Klein is a nice FA acquisition however we need a true sideline to sideline assassin.

Watching this 2017 Saints D, we could be one or two players away from becoming a dominant defensive ball club.

No punter is worth 4.5 million a year. Not ever the great Reggie roby.

Then would you make this move?

Round 4/5 JK Scott, P, Alabama 6045 202 4.76 #15 Sr

Thomas Morstead
Potential Out: 2018, 6 yr, $19,014,097; $700,000 dead cap
2018 Cap $4,850,000
Savings $4.1 mil in 2018

Would you do it?

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

A MLB in the draft?

I have not really been impressed with anyone one MLB in the draft to beat :deadhorse2: over .

Malik Jefferson OLB/ILB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr
Rashaan Evans OLB/ILB Alabama 6021 232 4.73 #32 Sr
Tremaine Edmunds OLB/ILB/SS Virginia Tech 6042 236 4.52 #49 Jr

Later?

any ideas?

FA?

Easiest way is to let Klien take over at MLB?

Garoppolo traded to the Niners.

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

Something must be up with him, rarely does the price go down in mid season for such a highly regarded player.

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

He is good but that shoulder is always the hush hush issue here in boston

2nd rounder pick #30 for a top 5 second rounder? score

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

Probably worth it for the Pats. They kept him,ensured Brady got through camp with little to do and uninjured then got pick 33-40 when he would walk a few months later.

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list
 

In a heart beat but not in rd 4/5. Maybe 6/7 or a ufa. Got to be one that can hold the fort for under 2 million.
