Yeah, I wasn't sure whether or not I would consider him one or not lol. But I had to ask, because I think we are going to be in on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably be underwhelmed. We'll probably re-sign Fusco and find another Fusco to go along with him and Garnett. Then in the draft, we may look to add another interior OL, maybe a C, but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't. Or maybe we draft Trent Brown's replacement. I think, for sure, we sign one of the bigger name cornerback. The rest will likely be depth. I agree that we seem to hold a different estimation of the line play than Lynch and Shanny. I think we will draft a guard in the first couple of rounds, but obviously we are content with Kilgore in the middle (which is super frustrating), and Garnett seems locked in to at least start the season as the presumed starter at one guard spot. With Garnett coming back and Tomlinson still on the roster, I think it's actually pretty unlikely that we bring Fusco back unless he has absolutely no market (which I find unlikely - I'm guessing a team like Houston will jump in there for him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beadles is the new Adam Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on the cost, but this is a deep RB class and Shanny/Lynch seemed to spent a lot of time with RBs at the combine. Then you have Joe Williams still there but he's a question mark.

I don't think cost is going to factor into it for Lewis with regards to interest. I feel like we are interested or not (I have no idea if we will be, but he does strike me as the type of back Shanny would like given his all around game) . I don't think that it's a situation predicated mainly on "if such and such happens, we are interested". Obviously, there is going to be a line we won't cross with regards to overall pay, and he may very well want more than we are willing to offer, but I don't think that our interest in him would be based on a scenario where he falls through the cracks or we are getting a real good deal on him or something along those lines. Now, I have no idea if we are actually interested in him, but I do feel it makes a lot of sense, so we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Why isn't it March 12th yet? Personally, I blame @rudyZ for it only being the 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning, there are a lot out there probably dreaming about Robinson, Norwell, and Butler, but they're dreams for a reason. Agreed. A team needs lots of pieces. Not all have to be super studs, just upgrades from what you've got. I've been thining for a couple weeks now the Lewis and Gabriel would be nice additions, and not overly expensive. I'm still hoping though that we add a stud or two. Norwell or Pugh are high on my list. Maybe Robinson or Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope that they've seen enough from Garnett around the facility to think he will be an upgrade for us, maybe he can even be a really good starter. He didn't look good as a rookie, but he was drafted high for a reason. Maybe year 3 will be a breakthrough year for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however want us to go hard after Allen Robinson as I think he’s a legit #1 and could add a lot for us, especially in the red zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift21 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Overpaying Garcon is going to end up costing us Allen Robinson. ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This signing can't end up costing something that was never a real possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
