We are all wrapped up in winning/ losing and draft position. However, free agency is the next big thing and helps shape what the organization might be targeting.
I’m going to be the first to tell you I very limited on how the cap works. All I really know is you can only spend so much on players salary but it certainly seems many teams spend more one way or another. So with that disclaimer here’s my thoughts.
First, I do not want to see us turn this rebuild into a 3 or 4 year plan. I feel with some shrewd free agents signings and a good draft we may not be quite ready to compete for a Super Bowl but we could make the playoffs and have a say who does.
I think we need to build a devastating offense now. Only two of Kyler’s completions yesterday went to a WR. Think about that. I think that’s where we need to start.
Whatever money we would have to spend on Brown should go elsewhere to a big Wr. I know, I know, MAYBE we can draft MHJ. Even if we do, that’s not enough. Wilson MAY blossom but his availability has been and will continue to be a concern. So:
1. Go after Michael Pittman. Suprisingly he is not ranked as the top Wr in free agency. He’s 26, big and a great downfield blocker. Yes he will cost some money. But adding him AND drafting MHJ would create HUGE problems for our opponents. Pittman, MHJ, McBride could dominate. Sprinkle in Dortch and Moore and we’re good.
2. C/G Connor Williams. He would solidify either the guard or center position while moving a current player to our depth.
3. I think RB Michael Carter is a F/A. I see a guy that has a spark and a great fit and rounds out this offense. He needs to stay.
If we lose out on the MHJ derby we could trade down and still get a damn good wr like Nabers or Odunze.
I know there’s many of you out there who understand the cap. Is this such an outlandish plan? Is is feasible consider our remaining unrestricted F/A on our roster and the rookie pool.
I don’t know what would be left to add to the defense except the draft.
