I like the idea of spending some money on mid-level FA's to round out our top level and build depth while freeing up the draft to get guys who are going to make a difference.
A good FA period to me would look something like this:
Vernon Butler, DT
AJ Klein, LB
Vic Beasley, DE (one year prove it deal, or heavy incentives)
Depth at OL
Secondary Depth
A playmaker (lower level, probably)
Then we can go into the draft with freedom to build. I don't think we're likely to see any big splashes (maybe one at DE if Shaq walks) but rather, solid contributors who fit the scheme and the culture.
Agreed!
It's been a great primer to get the brain thinking. I for one am excited to see what happens. I think realistically, our FO improved our team by at least 50% just by added overall talent and depth on the roster during last years FA. I expect a similar offseason and similar rewards.
