Got news for you guys… Marcus Williams is probably gone. Lots of smoke around us going for Tyrann Mathieu.

While the idea of having both him and G-J on the field at the same time terrorising the opposition sounds great- the sensible man in me wants to see them sign a cheap placeholder FS and try to draft the next long-term solution as FS.

Although, if they plan to replace Jenkins (SS) with him then this could work well if the money-side somehow makes sense.

Sure if they win the SB its worth it. If they don't its not in my book. I am extremely sceptic against trades like that.

Interesting "option" but is Tyrann a Free safety ?

I would have preferred him in New Orleans 4 years ago.

I get you, but it is very similar to the moves that the Rams made trading away multiple first round picks and players for Stafford, Jalen Ramsey, and Von Miller in an "all in" move. The NFL is a copycat league.

I'm concerned with what we're going to do at LT. We may need to re-think our draft strategy.

Same.

"If" we lose Armstead in Free Agency, I don't think moving Ramz over to LT is a given either. For me, Peat isn't an option at RT.

Scouts have been saying that this is a solid group for offensive lineman so maybe we draft one early to mid rounds perhaps.

At least now we have a proven O line coach (DougM) who can help provide a more in depth analysis of our needs in the trenches.

But to your point, drafting a LT is real possibility.

This is what happens when being over the cap hell year after year catches up to you. I've been told it's not really a problem though so we'll see.

Apparently around a quarter of his snaps were as him lining up as a FS this past season.
