I agree with Holmes and LeBlanc as both had good preseasons and was solid in college. If I remember right Holmes led all of college football in sacks last season.

 

Younger players

James Cowser (S.Utah) DE/OLB, Raiders

Corey Lemonier (Auburn) OLB, 49ers

Pierre Desir (Lindenwood) CB, Browns

Jeremiah Poutasi (Utah) G/T, Titans

Jamil Douglas (ASU) G, Dolphins

 

Veterans

1. Josh Sitton, G, Packers

2. Geoff Schwartz, G, Lions

 

Sitton I believe should be signed as soon as possible IMO. The others should be worked out and considered for possible depth positions either now or at a later date.

 

By far the best addition to the team would be Sitton, but Schwartz would be a great fall back plan. Poutasi and Douglas are both 4th round picks in 2015 that had solid potential coming out of college. I believe they could still be developed into solid contributors and depth. Desir is a tall lengthy corner built for a press man scheme which might need a change of scenery. James Cowser was an animal this preseason for the Raiders. He absolutely lit it up against the Seahawks this preseason. Lemonier showed a lot of flashes for the 49ers, but never got much of an opportunity after Aaron Lynch was drafted.

You pretty much nailed my list exactly, though I would also include Marcus burley. :)

I've got my eyes on two guys I was high on in the this year's draft:

1) Tyrone Holmes (Montana), OLB, Jaguars.

2) Cre'Von LeBlanc (S. Florida), CB, Patriots - D'Joun's opposite side in college.

 

 

Holmes looked pretty fast during the preseason. Not sure hes an OLB in a 3-4 though. Who knows?

I still see his name listed on the website. Haven't seen any mention of him being injured. I'll take this but still not 100 percent certain.

Looks like the Hawks haven't sent anything official yet so all I am going by is the guys that cover the team.

that part covering IR looks like it was that one guy and not the names listed after that but I could be wrong

I can't find anything that says he's injured. Raiders cut Neiko Thorpe I would gladly take Thorpe and Burley.

Sorry for being unejumacated, but why is Sitton unrealistic?

 

Its not unrealistic, he's just going to be expensive.  So what?  He has a three or four more years left and would solidify the interior line once Mewhort is back.

Grigson is sort of at a crossroads.  He (actually, Jim) just made Luck the highest paid QB in the land so he  sort of has to push the envelope and win somewhat soon.  Injuries are gonna' happen, and if you have a chance to put your team in a better position by getting a quality player without losing a draft choice...

It's only money....heh, heh.

How's our cap??

I liked Douglas coming out of collage, how has he been in the NFL ???

Horrible 33.7 overall blocking grade last year. Lacks ability to convert his weight room strength to on the field so he would be a back up but I like him because of his athleticism and potential. However he has not been even decent since being drafted

    • When I seen Roster Moves as the title, you scared me. I thought maybe we were bringing back Charlie Whitehurst since the AR news. (joking)
    • Well 30 I doubt the Vikings called themselves or maybe they did…
    • Actually, I kind of disagree that it would have been a contender. Most contenders are tight up against the cap and adding a receiver who was going to get north of $30,000,000 would have been very difficult. Plus contenders 1st round picks tend be very low in the 1st round. For example if Buffalo was interested , you would probably want multiple 1st and those are like say at 25 (basically 2nd round talent). I just dont see it happening and thats not appealing to the Vikings. The Colts are appealing because their pick was at  say #15 and they may have had the cap room to fit him under. Thats why I don't believe a lot of what is out there. 1st you have to look at each teams cap and say "who can fit a receiver for $30,000,000.00 under our cap. I bet it would have been few teams. The rumor was that the Vikings tried to trade him to say the Chargers. If i was the Chargers why would i take that deal? At number 5, I could have taken Nabers for a lot less money and many were saying he was the best receiver. Sure, he could be bust out, but I would have taken the chance. I bet if the Vikings would have offered Jefferson to the Cardinals, they would say no. Why would I give up Harrison for a guy, who is proven i must say, but is wanting $35,000,000.00 a year? I will take my chance with Harrison. Ballard has said they tried to move in the draft.  Like I said, maybe the move was for Jefferson. I always had a hard time he was trying to move below. I think that would have taken so much draft capital for a position he does not have in high regard. Jefferson would have been a safer move as maybe you give up a lot less draft capital but a lot more money. Offer their #15  and a 2nd rounder. People will say  a #15 and a 2nd rounder for an all pro wr? I think the wr market is totally out of control. Ballard could offer that because he then says to the Vikings now I have to turn around and give  him $35,000,00.00 a year. The Chiefs moved Hill because of economics and they won 2 super bowls without him. You build around the qb and not a wr. I do think the wr market will some day crater like the rb market. I think a lot of these guys will come up for their 2nd contract and teams will  try to move them. That is why I was not big on moving up to say 4 or 6 to get one of the elite wr. You would have to spend tons of draft capital and then come four years later what are you paying Harrison and/or Nabors if they play out? Like $40,000,00? No thanks. I will continue to look for diamonds in the rough. Here is an example of positional value. Do i think the Cardinals would have traded for Jefferson and then the Vikings say take Harrison at #4? No  I do not. Now if say the Cardinals need a pass rusher and the best one was there are #4 and he was considered elite   and Cowboys said we will trade Parsons for your pick. Do I think Cardinals take that trade? I bet they do without hesitation even if Parsons was in line for a monster contract. That is just the way I see it and always will when it comes to certain positions.
