Polian's FA rankings

Recommended Posts

I'm not an insider.. Too bad, i would like to see what he thinks

Sorry about that forgot I was to be honest....his top 10 are Flacco, Steven Jackson, Wes welker, Mike Wallace, Martellus Bennett,Jared Cook, Greg Jones, Adam Levitre, Ryan Clady and Sebastian Vollmer.

 

 

Maybe its just me but I'll trust Polian on skill postition players but when it comes to O-line he doesnt exactly have a great track record I'm kind of leery on his analysis

Yeah I would be interested on what he says about skill guys, but beyond that I don't really care what he has to say. O-line and defense were not exactly his forte.

the top 10 is just offense here is the defensive top 10 according to him....Henry Melton, Randy Starks, Anthony Spencer, Cliff Avril Dwight Freeney, Michael Johnson, Paul Kruger, Ray Malauga, Brent Grimes, and Cary Williams

That's actually not his top-10....   those are his top offensive players.   He's got a top defensive players as well.

Out of those guys I would like....

 

Spencer - would be a great fit to replace Freeney

Kruger - also good to replace Freeney, but is seeking way too much money IMO.

Grimes

Williams - I like him more than Grimes because of his size and physicality.

Honestly, I was somewhat embarrassed about his list....

 

Steven Jackson and Dwight Freeney on his "A" list of FA's.    Really?    I mean, come on.

 

I'm not saying they're unworthy of offers,  but top offers as his "A" list says they'll get?     No.

 

He also didn't have Vazquez, the San Diego guard on any list,  A, B or C.    I hope it's an oversight.

 

These aren't my only objections,  but just a small sample of what I think is a poorly thought through list....

 

Just my two cents....   (and perhaps not worth that much!)       :thmup:

Well Polian didn't have Vasquez on his list because he's absolutely terrible at judging O-line talent. Like I said earlier, if its not a skill position, Polian doesn't have much credibility IMO.

Freeney will get big money from a team running a 4-3

Freeney will get big money from a team running a 4-3

 

Not sure why.....

 

He hasn't performed like a big money player for several years....   and he's well past 30...     bad combination for someone seeking big money.

 

Maybe he'll get it,  but not from a team where I'm the GM.

The four years before moving to a 3-4 he had 42 sacks and 12 forced fumbles. He is 33, not "well past 30".

And what team do you GM?

If your saying you no way Jose , then I'm agreeing with you disagreeing. I guess the 1st thing to do would be to qualify what is considered "big money." I would say 20-21 mill for three years with around 10-11 guaranteed would qualify . I think he get's something like 2 years at 9 mill.... around 4 guaranted.  Plus maybe an mill reachable in incentives.

What Freeney did this year was troublesome.   It wasn't just that he was a bad fit in the system.   He also had trouble staying healthy.     And In football terms, 33 is well past 30.  Especially for a lineman.   About the only position it's not, is quarterback, and even then....   When you're past 30,  you can grow old very, very fast.

 

The expression "not any team where I'm the GM" is just that....   an expression.   It means in my opinion.   That's all.   Nothing more.    Sorry for the confusion....

That is especially true when your game is predicated on speed. The first thing to go for a player that depends on it the most for their success.

Why do I care about Polian's views on free agency?? He barely EVER dabbled in it.

 

 

 

When he first arrived , he was a big player. Then he started handing out record contracts for all the players he wanted to keep. Not that I'm blamimg him... you over pay to keep your best players just as you do when signing the high priority free agents. Just makig the point that he more than dabbled when he first came over from Carolina.

I agree with Cary williams he has a grit to him he fights for position on every play he is very vocal and passionate about winning !! I would be fine with grimes as well he is super good just comming of an injury scares me

Problem is he likes to fight referees as well.. He has suspension written all over him

    • Same. And that's because over time that level of depth eventually decays. 
    • I don't think players like Davis (and especially Bryan, who I don't think will make the final 53) should impact our draft strategy at all. Not even a little bit. If we like Byron Murphy, figure out what to do with those other guys later. The other versatile guys you mention don't scratch the itch the way Murphy would be expected to -- he should be looked at as a disruptive 3T who plays there every down, not a matchup guy or passing downs guy.    If anything, maybe it's the other way around. The Colts already had a feel for the DTs in draft class and knew they wouldn't get what they want in the draft, so they addressed the position in free agency. And after this weekend, that might help people better understand the strategy at DB and WR...    The bolded really gets at the heart of it. I like Murphy, but I'm not offering him as a great player that you just have to take a chance on. But when it comes to draft strategy, I think taking the best players is the way to go. I'm directly opposed to needs-based drafting, and to passing on a really good prospect because you have backup level veterans already on the roster. 
    • I suppose Murphy being the next Donald is possible, but I wouldn’t think it’s likely.     As for Smith playing right tackle, I believe I was simply echoing Ballard’s initial viewpoint.  That Smith’s short arms made him an unlikely RT.  And that he had to be talked into it by Morocco Brown and Ed Dodds.   I don’t think I was stating MY personal view.    As for skillset vs measurements.  I think it’s been an issue for all of us because Ballard has such specific requirements for each position.  So we factor that into our judgements. 
    • Bold prediction?    I will predict either Kwity or Pierce will be traded sometime during the draft.
    • I will post a few mock drafts from people who are really highly ranked in The Huddle Reports' mock draft competitions over the last few years:   Brendan Donahue(tied for highest score over the last 5 years) https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/2024-nfl-mock-draft-brendan-donahue/ Interesting things:  -Vikings trade up to 5 for McCarthy -Colts get Brock Bowers at 15.    Eddie Brown(tied for highest score over the last 5 years) https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/2024-nfl-mock-draft-eddie-brown-s-final-first-round-projections/ar-AA1nCo1i Interesting things: - JC Latham at 5 to the Chargers(Jeremiah has the same pick) - Rome Odunze to the Giants at 6, Nabers to Atlanta at 8 - Philly trades up to 12 for Quinyon Mitchell - Colts get Brock Bowers(seems to be a trend...)     David P. Woods(3d highest score over the last 5 years): https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/2900023 Interesting things:  - Vikings trade up to 5 for McCarthy(seems like this is the current divide - this pick will be either Latham to the Chargers or Vikings trade up) - Odunze to Giants at 6!!! Nabers to Atlanta at 8. Second one with those specific picks.  - Colts get Quinyon Mitchell   Ben Standig (3 times Huddle report mock draft champion!): https://www.benstandig.com/post/ben-standig-s-2024-nfl-mock-draft-final Interesting things:  - Vikings trade up to 5 for McCarthy - Colts TRADE UP to 8 for Odunze!! Interesting....    Sean Green(Last year's Huddle report mock draft co-champion): https://www.sportsgamblingpodcast.com/2024/04/23/2024-nfl-mock-draft-sean-green-final-mock-draft/ Interesting things:  - Nabers goes 4 to Arizona, MHJ 6 to Giants - Chargers go Taliese Fuaga at 5.  - Colts get Quinyon Mitchell
