FGK Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think the WR issue is smaller than we realize because we're going to roll with a lot of two TE sets. So in those, we'd only need two WR's if we are throwing a RB out too. In that situation, Coleman/Britt is an adequate outside duo. Could we upgrade there? Sure, and I think that would be a good idea with the level of resources that we have, but I don't think it's a desperate situation. That said, we actually (assuming Kizer pans out) don't have many desperate needs right now. This roster has taken huuuuuge steps forward and is actually looking pretty solid. We could use a LT of the future or RT, a FS/SS depending on where Peppers ends up, maybe a Mike but they don't play a ton in Williams' defense anyway, a WR upgrade, a backup NT, a #1/2 CB depending on how good BBC gets, and maybe a 4th pass rusher. That's not even close to the needs we were looking at two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can line up and block but that isn't going to be his main contribution to the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So since I'm my mind we've basically drafted him I'm interested in the thought of Peppers as a free safety. He's been lining up there. So whatever we would need to do to make James work I'd want that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosko1616 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 WR Calvin Ridley FS Minkah Fitzpatrick CB Tre McFadden UT Ed Oliver are all guys I really like. Next year. I think even if we draft high we'll trade down because of ppl trying to trade up for QBS. Gain an extra 2nd and 1st next year. Hopefully. I'd love to somehow get three 1sts again next year. That would be outstanding. Because I think next year is when we make the jump to playoff contender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Do you fellas really think we spend a high pick on a DL next year? Sashi has already invested a lot of (premium) picks there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
