Tramon Williams is almost a must. we have too many other holes to address in the draft, and not much spending $

i'd also bring back Golden, good STer and fill in WR

 

[DevonCardsFan]

T Williams

Branch

Jaron Brown

Rucker

Up here for sure

Bottom half proved to be good depth

Gabbert

Boone

Watford

Kerwynm

When I looked at that long list of FA, the one thing that made for some hesitation . . . I don't know enough about our new coaching staff and their playbook to know which guys will translate from the BA roster to the new one.

BA didn't hesitate using smaller, quick guys on both sides of the ball . . . Smoke, HB, Baker, JJ, KW. Will SW want to go bigger to get his 'physicality' goal?

BA preferred vets to rookies. Even DJ sat until CJ went down. Is SW going to go a similar route or is he going to be more willing to go with younger players and let some of the UFA vets walk?

Our long snapper came in and helped with the kicking game---does he stay along with Dawson? Will a rookie kicker give the same level of performance that Dawson put up? Some cap savings there over Dawson's salary.

How SW puts together his team with the selections off the UFA list is going to go a long way in telling us how the team is going to look . . . and if it is a retool or a rebuild.

Tramon Williams
Josh Bynes
Kareem Martin

Like it.

Add: T Branch if 100% recovered, Frostee, Jaron, Watford,

 

[GuernseyCard]

The first three I consider key and would add Branch, if healthy.

If upgrades can't be found, I'd turn attention to Frostee, Jaron and Watford late in free agency.

Williams (2)
Branch
Martin
Bynes
Boone
Niklas 800K
Brewer
Rucker 800K

Branch has some serious issue staying healty, the man can play at good level if he is healthy but how many games can he guarantee? 6/7?

It's a 'crash sport'...

Can't guarantee one play .

Stanton. Everyone keeps talking about getting a bridge QB so a rookie can sit and learn. Why not bring back a guy that has chemistry with the skill position players and has actually won some games for AZ?

I'm with you Mitch, good choices.

One big reason Stanton stuck with the Cards was his knowledge of BA's offense.

New coaching staff and that advantage for him is no longer there.

In fact, I think more of the Card's UFA sign elsewhere---guys on D will end up in New York with their old D coach.

The backups and role players are the ones out on the street when a new coaching staff/playbook is brought in. Too many players suggested above are BA guys and those we saw perform and liked their work. Those bets are off if they don't fit the new scheme. Only a few UFA from the Panthers available so we should see an influx of guys from teams where they played for our position coaches.

Derek Anderson is a UFA from Carolina---how about signing him to be our new QB? (LOL)
