OL is a huge need for us, but we don't have anyone on our OL that couldn't be replaced and this season, FA's will be getting offered a lot less than usual. Clear out the DL room of overpaid underperformers and sign at least 1 probowl caliber OL. I'd keep Williams even though he turned out to be pretty mediocre after much early season hype. Keep Feliciano as a backup as well as Ford, but I don't want to see either of them starting in 2021 unless injury forces them back into the lineup. Ford still has a chance to develop into a decent player, but he's still terrible at this point.

Here's mine. Hughes can still play. Oliver is OK, but still a disappointment considering where he was drafted. I mean, we should be talking about how Oliver is making the guys around him look better, not how he needs better players around him to reach his peak. The rest of the DL consists of backup caliber players. Addison, Jefferson and Butler are WAY overpaid and should all be released to make cap space. Murphy was overpaid as well and should be gone. Epinesa didn't impress. Beane needs to quit signing below average DL and paying them like solid starters. Move heaven and earth to get Von Miller in here and draft a 1-tech. Don't resign Lotulelei who is also overpaid.

He's still playing at a very high level, but I really doubt this would happen. He'll be in high demand and his exit from Buffalo surely left some bad blood. Still, he cleaned up his act, so I won't say it's impossible, but my money is on him signing elsewhere.

And?

Decent route runner for a slow guy. Great hands. Great awareness. Not a good blocker.

I think Shady is done, but I will remember him as a high character guy who suffered a horrible year with an awful OL on a rebuilding team, then got cut. Never a complaint.

We hardly knew ye? He spent many years with us and was an exceptional blocking TE. I knew him quite well. It amazes me how much some people hate on him.

I believe Fitz still wants to start. He played very well last year, but I doubt he'll get starter money. I'd very much like him at OBD as a QB coach. He certainly fits the culture and he's smarter than most NFL HC's.

Normally I'd prefer that Beane trade the high picks for a proven game changer since Allen is the only solid value he's gotten in the top 2 rounds, but this year our cap situation demands that we get solid day 1 starters in those rounds. Depending on other moves in FA or trade, I would expect us to stay put and take a CB or Edge Rusher or OT. I'll be disappointed if we go for a LB or RB or TE in the 1st round unless there is a generational talent available there, but we'd have to trade way up for that.

A 1st round pick for Darnold? Who the heck is going to do that?

No. He's half the football player he was with NE. We can do better and I doubt he'd come anyways. He wants to play with Brady.

No. He's a real person.

Too bad he's not very good. We'll need to seriously upgrade his position this offseason because Ford isn't very good either. At least Feliciano is average and he has a great attitude.

Now get the Madden raters to open their eyes.

Hard to say. That defense was firing on all cylinders. Brady got the MVP, but the entire defense of the Bucs really deserved it.

He is very versatile. I'd like to see him stay for the right price.

No RB in round 1 please. There are plenty available in FA and the 2 we have are decent if not great. A CB or edge rusher would be a far better pick if there's value there. If not, take the best OL available. Please no RB or LB in round 1. That said, it's time for Beane to start nailing these 1st round picks. Josh has been his only solid value in round 1 or 2 thus far.

I'll be surprised if the Dolphins give up on Tua so soon. The guy hasn't even played a full season. I also think the Colts are a likely contender since they're already a playoff caliber team. Washington, Chicago and San Francisco would be much improved with him on board too.

He's on ghe other side of 30 now, but his 2 major injuries were muscle tears. He's never had a serious knee, ankle, hip or foot injury as far as I know and has kept himself in top shape all along. I say he's got 3 good years left. Offer him say $30 million for 3 years. Put the bigger cap hits at the back end when the cap is likely to go back up. Schopp says he wants to see Curtis Samuel replace John Brown whom many expect to be gone. I'd also like that move. I can see us going CB, OL, OL in the top 3 rounds if JJ Watt is a Bill and I think signing for 3 years instead of 2 might sound pretty good to him. I really think he's got 3 very good years left given his injury history and exceptional work ethic.

My 5 cents (in no particular order): 1. Continue upgrading the OL. 2. Upgrade DT opposite Oliver. 3. Ramp up the pass rush (DE) so we don't have to blitz as much. 4. Upgrade the TE position. 5. Upgrade the CB2 position That doesn't seem impossible. Even if we nail just 3 of those 5 thing and maybe do very slight upgrades on the other 2, we can be as good as any team in the NFL. This assumes that we stay healthy and Josh takes his next step. I don't think he could possibly improve as much as he did from year 2 to year 3. That's just not possible, but he can still get better through work and experience.

So apparently winning in the trenches and defense still matter in the 21st century, despite what so many think. I never doubted it. I hope Beane was watching.

He was much improved in 2020. Lock him up.

He's a solid CB3. We need to upgrade at CB2.

He's not even a capable backup. We should add an OL on draft day 1 or 2. Our weakness at G is the primary reason our run game struggled at times. Both Singletary and Moss ranked high in yards after initial contact. Our OL is still a work in progress.

Milano is good, but hardly irreplaceable. This is not the year to get top dollar, but if we drop Milano, Lotulelei and Addison, I believe that gets us under the cap but probably not enough. Addison got overpaid, was 34 and was pretty much invisible. We'd have to eat some dead money for dropping Addison ($4 mill?), but would still save over $2 mill. Stop overpaying medioce players Beane! I wouldn't mind (if we lost Milano) to move Edmunds outside and draft a MLB on day 2. I'll be mildly surprised if we don't keep Brown though. We can't fill too many holes and neither Diggs nor Davhave top speed. Diggs can get deep, but he doesn't have T Hill speed. Then again. I really hope there's a great value at OT, DE or outside CB at #30. A day 2 TE would be nice too, but I'm not crazy about drafting a LB or TE in the 1st unless it's a 'once every few years' talent that inexplicably falls to us. If nothing else, make this team stronger in the trenches. We need a game changer on the DL.
