I too wanted a better TE option, but there's just no way I could do it at 12 and by 30 I don't expect one to be there (Fant, Hock). I'm not in love with any of the other ones and with a plethora of rd 3-5 options (this class is super deep at TE), I think that's the more likely scenario, and frankly a better route to go. I hear ya man, it's something I battled with in my mocks and i'm sure Gutey will in the real thing too depending on Free Agency. One thing I'm surprised we've seen little to nothing reported on that was brought up here and other mocks was Tramon Williams status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Love the Samuel and Warring.....almost like I mocked that a few hours ago!!! Would be a really nice offseason for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tramon is competent if not good and Josh Jones is at least a body. You're not going to get anyone meaningfully better than those two to come in and be a backup. You have us cutting Tramon. Like the mock all together. The cuts are easy ones. Love the UFA signings. Would have preferred a more polished TE than Warring but going DEF/ DEF in the first and WR in the second, concessions would have to be made.

Adderley while I would be stoked if we got him is a rookie and I don't want to go into the season banking on a rookie at a starting spot. In addition there are so many safeties on the market I want another so that we have two vets at the back there. Even a Philips, or Glover Quin, Tre Boston etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the draft, you'll see a post-draft FA section where I bring Tramon back at a lower number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer to bring in someone younger than T.Will. A 34 year old Weddle and 35 year T.Will will be quite an old pair of safeties. Weddle I could live with but T.Will no thanks, not when there are so many options available. I hope we are hunting early for a safety pre draft so that we are not dependant on landing Adderley.

Gonna be honest, I don't see any way GB spends 14+M AAV at safety which is likely what it would require to land two starting quality safeties, even in a more depressed market.

I hope they do. 7% of the cap on a pair of starting safeties I could live with easily, especially a spot with so little talent. I mean they are paying Graham just under that at 6.46% of cap. I would prefer two starting safeties rather spending 10m + (5.5% of cap) on Collins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are options beyond just Adderley that could work in that portion of the draft as well (CGJ, Thornhill) so it's not an Adderley or bust strategy.

There is a supply of safeties why not take advantage? Why risk hoping you get a starting safety in the draft and then hope they pan out? Same argument for edge. Get one, even a Cameron Wake in FA and then pick up at least one in the draft. Our defence needs massive investment in FA. I would blow it all there.

Our defence needs massive investment in FA. I would blow it all there. I mean, I guess you can't really do that. There is a large supply, but with that there will also be a large demand. All the teams that don't have safeties, even the ones who released safeties, will need safeties. You can't just fill your roster full in FA and then draft players to also fill those spots as well. Roster spots are finite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Apparently, Ravens fan still liked the guy, but felt he has lost it. I haven't watched much of the Ravens but this feels like a Matthews type situation with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
