Malcom Butler signed

[Cheesebeef]

Honestly, aside from TE, is there any position we are weaker at than we were when the season ended?

RB. And I still think that OLB spot opposite CJ. And still CB. As mediocre to below average as Kirkpatrick was, there’s still no one to replace him yet. But that can and likely will happen.

Are you Surtain about that?

Is this Fair-ley?

 

[PDXChris]

RB, but that is easy to fill in the draft or via a cheap veteran.

Drake was so average and missed somes games that I don't think we're worse without him. I think w can only hey better there. We just don't have any TEs on the roster.

Can a brother get a PFF rating?

Great signing.

PFF had him at a 71.6 (for those who care), so still a good starter last year.

Chris Collinsworth loves your commitments to his product

 

[Dback Jon]

Are you Surtain about that?

IF Surtain is there, you take him even if you have signed another corner.

Since we are getting CJ, we are stronger than when he season ended! You're right about #2CB! RB to me is still the same.

Upgrade over Kirkpatrick that much is certain at least. Still gotta add one more in FA and draft one early in the draft but as I said on an earlier thread the CB group will likely be no worse than last year (and since they’ll likely have a 1st or 2nd round rookie more upside too) when it’s all said and done.

 

[Mainstreet]

It makes me feel better. It's better than needing two starting cornerbacks. Or at least I'm hoping Butler can start.

Titans d was not good last year. Bottom half of league from what I remember

Not sure but I think the Titans were not good sacking the QB or QB pressures last year which didn’t help out the secondary

PFF comparison:

Malcolm Butler #15 grade: 74.5


Patrick Peterson #83 grade: 55.2
Dre Kirkpatrick #104 grade: 49.0


this is an upgrade

 

[eastcoastSUN]

He’s a YEAR older then Pat Peterson. I can’t believe we past on the younger option of Nelson for him.

Does Butler whiff on tackles? Takes plays off? Calls out his teammates if there is a missed assignment? Throws a temper tantrum if he doesn't get his way?

If no, to any of those questions, I will take a 40 yr old Butler (ok, maybe not that old) over Pat Pete any day

 

[SeattleCard]

I'm pumped!

They still need to sign a Dre Kirkpatrick level veteran, if Alford was reliable it wouldn't be as much a concern but there needs to be another veteran for depth and spot starts (at the very least). It would also be nice if the team could truly go BPA in round 1 and not be forced to pick another CB.

 

[Totally_Red]

Now Russell will REALLY want a trade.

 

[juza76]

Now let's sign Nelson and Fournette and we can have a draft without being forced to take a positional player but best player available(OL, cb, WR, OLB)

 

[Zeem_Freeze]

pass rush had to be a big reason he wanted to sign here

 

[Totally_Red]

Now let's sign Nelson and Fournette and we can have a draft without being forced to take a positional player but best player available(OL, cb, WR, OLB)

No on Fournette.

Ehhh no more 30+ year old CBs please

No thanks on Fournette

 

[Praxis]

Good deal. Upgrade from PP21.

Do we even have the $ to sign Nelson? Like other posters on here, HELL NO to Fournette lol (terrible attitude and instant locker room cancer)

 

[DVontel]

Also why do you guys keep saying “hopefully we go BPA & not forced to go CB” like CB couldn’t possibly be BPA(& no I’m not talking about Horn & Surtain)? lol


This is reminiscent of the Wirfs vs Simmons talk

 

[Chopper0080]

One of several good CBs still available.

Nelson, Hayward, and Bouye still out there as well. Kirkpatrick and Joseph as well.
