Is he a starting Guard opening day? Many were comfortable with shipping Peters and using him with Walker as starting tackles. How would people feel with Peters - Chambers - Harry - Buts - Lang ? Or is Simmons too good to pass up?
How about Bo Scaife. I think this is a logical FA target for this franchise. Depending on how FA plays out-most assume DE in rd 1. Would Scaife or a Coffman/Casey option work better?
I totally agree-C and LB have the most available Free Agents (Birk,Saturday,Brown/Vilma,Scott,Crowell,Boley). The draft looks like the best bet for DE and TE (Orakpo,Brown,Maybin,Johnson/Pettigow,Coffman,Cook). Seems like the logical path.
Evans is a good #2. Nothing more. Just another strategic "core-player" signing by the FO. His deal is the only thing he has comparble to Fitzgerald-regarding football. In 1-2 years his money will look more like a contract given to Schobel, Kelsay,ky,buttlicker, etc...
I thought we are striving to live in a colorless world. But now that you mention it, why don't they give out more white WR roster spots to reflect true population consistencies?
