Keep Dorsey and McDermott.
Dump Frazier.
Add a young innovative DC for McDermott to work with and Greg Roman as run game coordinator.
And replace Washington as D-Line coach
Von Miller wouldn't have made a difference against Cincinnati, the ball came out too fast. We needed to play tighter coverage and not loose. Sure, we didn't give up chunk plays, but Burrows nickle and dimed is to death
We'lll still have Frazier and his defense is very good 95% of the time.
The problem is that when we absolutely need someone to make a play, they often fail. Perfect example: 13 seconds
Yeah, but once we got past Hamlin, the rest of our depth safeties are horrible.
I think we draft 2 OL, WR, S, LB with our top 5 picks. Pick six ... give me BPA
I would love to double dip at WR, but we only have 6 picks currently (barring trades) and we NEED to double up at OL.
That leaves 3 more picks and I would like a S & LB ... leaving one more pick for Best Player Available
We have 6 picks (barring trades).
I would like to see us walk away with:
WR/OL the first two picks.
After that, in Rounds 3-5:
Another OL
LB
Safety
Best Player Available in the 6th.
For the O-Line, I'd like to see one inside and one tackle
Good to know our 5th rounder is Arizona's, so it's 3rd in the 5th round.
Maybe I wasn't clear here, but I know he is guaranteed and would need to be traded. There should be teams interested in trading for him.
I like what you've got. The only change is I would keep Beasley or Crowder on a one year deal to whoever will take the lowest amount on a 1-year contract
Over the last few years, we have invested heavily on the D-Line and it's not paying off, meanwhile the lack for talent on O-Line and WR has continued to suffer. They need to change their approach to D and in that change, I say get rid of Oliver and use the cap room elsewhere
Another thing I would be in full alignment with the coaching staff on personnel. We brought in players to play the slot and did not use them.
We invested heavily in pass catching RBs and didn't use them.
After all the resources we've invested on D-line the continued failure of that position has to be considered a failure of coaching and/or playcalling
Trade Oliver for cap space.
Cut Siran Neal to save 2.8 mil.
Top 2 picks at WR and OT. Another WR and 2 safeties later in the draft.
Resign Crowder or Beasley for 1 year vet minimum
Resign Phillips and Lawson.
Try to resign Edmunds if the money is right.
Replace Frasier.
Add Frank Reich as passing coordinator/ asst HC.
Add Greg Roman as run game coordinator
