I'll tell you what though. Donovan Smith I think is being undervalued. I think he did a good job last year. And he's still young with room to improve. Unless I'm missing things everyone else has seen. Last year was his best, I believe. Brady should help his numbers quite a bit this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Donovan was good in pass protection last year, but Peters is still an upgrade. He's consistently been a top 5 LT since he came into the league. Even with the injuries, when he's on the field his play is borderline elite... Signing him could be an upgrade to two OT spots in theory, as you could plug him into LT and slide Donovan into RT and now you've upgraded both spots with one sign. Or even if you kept Donovan at LT, Peters has the ability to thrive as a RT as well... Hell, I'll even take it one step further. If we signed Peter's, it shouldn't preclude us from one of the OTs at #14. You could plug one of those guys into the RG spot for a year and really have something special. Imagine... Jason Peters, Ali Marpet, Ryan Jensen, Andrew Thomas, Donovan Smith 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caaddy24 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 There's also Trent Williams looking for a trade. I'm not sure on what compensation he would command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is he's looking to get paid on top of the compensation we'd have to ante up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna cost at least a 2nd round pick and then you're gonna have to give him a new deal. He's already made it known he wants to be paid top 3 money... He's a legit LT, but he's gonna 32 and has an injury history himself. I'd be weary of giving him a 3-5 year commitment, which is what he wants...

However, it is not out of the relm of possibiliities. Favre descent into retirement for Minny was rapid. Certainly, not wanting something to happen. However, the contingency plan being Gabbert without drafting a Qb before day 3 is borderline irresponsible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a famous quote (I can't remember who said it) but a coach was asked why his backup QB didn't get more reps in practice. His response? "We're ****ed if [QB] goes down. We don't practice ****ed." Or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady is in terrific shape. Another famous quote from Bill Walsh " I would rather cut a player a year early, then a year too late". Did Hoodie just do this? I hope he didnt because we ll be the ones f#$cked. Personally, not a bad thing to implement the Mike Holmgren theory and draft a Qb every yr in this situation. And this is when he had Favre in Green Bay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is when he had Favre in Green Bay. BA seems like the kind of coach to go all in on Brady. And I'm here for the ride. I'll take another run at a Super Bowl or two followed by a decade of mediocrity. It's exactly what we did when we traded for Gruden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caaddy24 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The only reason why I don't want to draft a QB early is the chance Brady doesn't like it. From reading all the reports on how the breakup went down with NE, he's getting a tad sensitive as he ages. He already had to deal with the Garapollo thing. Which, maybe drove him even more I don't know, but I don't want to do anything that might negatively impact his psyche! I think he even plans on playing more than 2 years. Maybe he won't, but I think that's what's on his mind right now. Plus, I say just go all in this year and next year with other pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, he said he wants to play until at least 45. So there's a chance we get three years from him, as long as he can still play. He's still in excellent shape. All depends on his arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
