I know I have the lowest post count of almost anyone here, but I’m going to throw out my $0.02 anyway. If I was GM for a (very busy) day, this would be the plan:
OFFENSE
QB - Trade RFA McCown to the Packers for RFA Craig Nall. Nall has the strong arm DG likes, plus has better pocket presence than Josh. With Favre appearing to be coming back for at least one year, and possibly more, Nall is hungry to lead a team but it won’t be the Packers. DG likes "hungry"and Packer QB’s have higher success ratios than other programs. I would then sign the cheaper of Brad Johnson or Gus Ferrotte, since they have a working knowledge of Green’s system. I like Navarre and would like to see more him. I would then let these three battle it out for their ultimate position on the depth chart.
RB - I would trade Shelton to the Bills for Henry. While I would listen to Skkorp’s council on Shelton’s value, in my mind I would be happy to remove a potential problem in exchange for a potential solution to our RB woes. Shipp and Hambrick would remain and everyone else, bye-bye. Ayanbadejo stays as FB, but I’m on the fence with Hodgins, who might be a camp cut.
WR - If you were with me up to now, here’s where I’m probably going to lose you. I would trade Boldin, Starks and this years 2nd to Minnesota for Randy Moss. I would then trout slap myself, but here is my reasoning: Boldin and Fitz are just too darn similar to pay both of them the big bucks Q deserves. Q is ultimately going to be unhappy here, so why not trade him before it becomes a problem. A signing of Randy Moss makes the kind of splash that this Franchise needs right now. Cardinal management needs to market to the people who don’t post on this board. They need a circus act to attract the people who can only name five players, and Moss’s name is one of them. Q might be a fan favorite, but he is a fan favorite of the 20,000 who currently go to a game. For better or worse, Moss would sell an additional 20k in seats and almost guarantee us a spot on MNF. Oh and by the way, we would have Randy freakin’ Moss on our team. For the x’s & o’s guys, Moss fills a real need on this team, as he is the burner we need to make Fitz and Johnson more effective.
OL - I’m drafting help here in the later rounds and probably keeping Clement until his contract expires. There’s a spark in both Wells and Bridges I like, but Spikes is gone. Davis stays at LT and I’m crossing my fingers like mad that the Wakefield experiment works. With a better running game, coupled with a true deep threat, our line starts to look pretty darn good.
TE - Sorry it didn’t work out Fred, bye. I like Edwards and I’m bringing in someone’s camp casualty for a backup if Golliday doesn’t pan out.
If I’m not banned for heresy, I’ll post my crazy plan for defense.
