Daniel Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Yeah, if we spend a first round pick on a linebacker, I will riot. Our interior OL needs attention, as does our depth at WR, Edge if we can't figure out a way to keep Landry, and potentially DT if we can't keep Simmons. And we still desperately need a TE. Ideally, I'd like to see us trade out of the first round. No second and no seventh doesn't leave us a lot of wiggle room. But if we can't, TE in the first, then WR, DE, and C however the prospects fall out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunningham could end up being a cap casualty. I’m not even advocating for it, just saying he’s turning into a little crush. Obviously, he’s most likely not even going to be available to us.

He’s one of the better LBs in football and Long is making nothing. No reason to cut Cunningham and as long as Vrabel is here and Cunningham is in his prime, he isn’t going anywhere.

Long has one more year on his contract, so do Brown and Hooker and that’s without counting Landry and Simmons, who will need and likely get extensions. We have like 13M projected in cap space as per spotrac for next year. I’m not saying it’s a guarantee to happen, but to think that he is untouchable is kind of crazy, especially with that many pieces that are soon finishing their rookie contracts.

TitanSS Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Anything other than OT or WR early and I'll be furious. OT depends on Lewan/Radunz situation otherwise it's WR 100%. LB shouldn't ever be a 1st RD pick, even as a need, unless it's a blue chip/generational prospect. I like Williams, but we need guys who are contributing in 2022. He's not going to be playing until late in the season, if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is going to be a monster with the right coaching. Piggybacking on this, I just can’t pass on this guy if he’s there at our pick, even with potential other needs. Just imagine adding him to our front 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttitansfan4life Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I still think Radunz is playing one of the tackle spots next year. No way we can let Jones go either. We have to resign him. Honestly I think Saffold retires so that leaves us with a hole at LG assuming we have Lewan at LT and Radunz at RT. OG, TE, WR, EDGE would be the top 4 needs in my opinion. Resign Foreman and Hilliard to be the backup RBs competing with Evans in camp although he’ll be on a short leash. It’s a deep TE draft so I’d like to land one of those top WRs in the first. One of them has to be there at the end of R1. Sign a FA TE and OG(not one of the high-priced guys) and draft both positions as well. OJ Howard is a FA and shouldn’t be that expensive but could be a nice reclamation project. Draft a TE in the 3rd or 4th round. This is all banking on resigning Landry and Jones. If not, EDGE jumps to the top of the list again in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we could work with Tanny to rework/extend his deal to give us more cap space these next few years? I know Brady did this sort of thing in 2013 to help the Patriots over the next three years to gain assets in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cap hit for next season is insane due to that restructure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry is the one I think they’d let go if it came down to being unable to re-sign all three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannehill, while good to great, will never be elite imo. So let’s make our good pass rush into an elite one by adding a player who I feel could be special. That’s just my thinking of drafting Walker.

QB play aside you will always be competitive with a good-to-great OL and DL No cliche runs more true than “the game is won in the trenches”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
