Impact -vs-Solid Free Agents

[Quantum88]

I just went through the evaluations of the top 85 free agents on nfl.com as posted by Gregg Rosenthal. We have money and need, but don't want to break the bank just to spend money. I like the way Rosenthal has broken down the list and the question I am asking is should we pursue 2-3 impact starters with a couple of other guys that Grigson can dig out of the fringes or go after 4-5 solid starters?

I would prefer 2-3 impact players with Grigson's talent for finding good talent everyone else overlooks.

The three I would most like to see targeted would be:

Andy Levitre -guard - rated 9th of the top 85

Dashon Goldson - safety - rated 15th

Randy Starks - DL - rated 18th

Yes to Goldson! No to others!

If Colts get OG should be Vasguez.

Levitre is rated 9th and Vasques is rated 69th best free agent.

Rosenthal is an * Vasquez is one of the top 10 free agents.

[danlhart87]

Vasguez fits system better. Rankings mean Jack.

[Balzer40]

Levitre is rated 9th and Vasques is rated 69th best free agent.

 

 

Levitre is also a zone blocking lineman. I know some people pretend like thats not a big deal, but I'd bet Grigson would disagree.

Sorry you beat to death the availability of Levitre.
 

 My guestimate is Grigson will have 3-4 high Quality targets.
 With a heavy push on day 1 to nail two. Then see what the actual cost is for them and go after his next wants as it fits his plan.
 

 For our needs I would say Vasquez & Kruger would be the 1st 2 targets.
 And Gee, I would only take them if they allow us to OVERPAY them.
 

 Another prediction. Grigson tries to get next years #2 pick into this draft.

Do  you really think Grigson is going to trade away our 1st round pick next year for a 2nd round pick this year?

Can you depend on Vasquez to be on the field on Sundays, this year was his first full season. As for Levitre well he hasn't missed a game in his career.

This is one key reason that Levitre is more highly rated on every evaluation of free agents that I have read.
