Clayborn or Dontari Poe? We really need a good-to-honest NT that draws double teams consistently...

And Clayborn will be 30yo in July, wrong side of the hill to be bringing in pass rushers...

I just think having 6' 3" of 343 lbs of goodness pulling some heat off of Cam would due the pass rush more good...

Then get Taven Bryan as the 3T or DE (he can play both) on the other side and start ruining opposing passers game days...

Clayborn graded 85.5 last year. He could provide valuable rotational depth especially if we resign Okafor - who may still need a few weeks to be ready.

And there’s no guarantee we get a chance to draft any particular player.

I really don't think our receiving situation is that bad that we'd need to spend a lot on a receiver...

We won a Superbowl with Colston-Henderson-Moore-Shockey; we currently have Thomas-Ginn-Snead (RFA)-Fleener...

Snead had, without a doubt, a season to forget, but two great seasons before then, so hold off on the write-off...

And if Snead connects with Kamara on the WR option pass, everyone is wanting to keep him right now...

Where we need help is Tight End where Fleener really hasn't fit in on this team and where Graham would've been ideal...

We need that TE threat for 3rd downs and redzone, but not a bad TE deal like Shockey for two draft picks or dead money on a broken-down FA TE...

JP our current receiving situation is Michael Thomas. We need a true #2 or an NFL ready TE for Drew to convert more third downs to.

Two of the guys I want are still out there...

DT DaQuan Jones (Hagan turned me on to him)
CB TJ Carrie (nickel CB)

ChrisXVI · 03-13-2018, 08:29 PM

Ian Rapoport
@RapSheet
The #Jets are expected to sign #Titans FA LB Avery Williamson, source said. A perfect fit for a 3-4 ILB.

This makes sense with Amendola departing for Miami...

Don't want Nelson
About to turn 32,last years numbers tumbled (though QB a factor). I think that he will fall off a cliff quickly,might not be this year but its coming
