AwesomeAustin Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 This team needs top shelf talent at DE, CB, WR and S. If we can and to those positions above average starters with 1 of those elite, this team can win the division and compete for SBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard pallo Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 The only players I would put a priority on bringing back are Pittman, Blackmon, and Moore. I think I would let Grover walk for that money. Especially after the suspension. I think we could find a good replacement for less money like we did with Yannick. I would like Lewis back. We are deep enough with out Moss at RB imo. Need a punter of course and Minschew at the right price. If Higgins or Ridley hit FA I would go after them. Don't think they will though. So plan B would be to trade our 1st pick for a WR1. That brings immediate help to AR for the offense. That one player alone should make a huge difference for us. If we are fortunate enough to land a free agent WR then that opens up a lot of possibilities for our first pick. But securing a proven bona fide WR1 is now the number one priority for me. We would need a lot of luck to hit on one in the draft. Most likely he would not be a significant contributor from the start. I am all in on the Diggs approach. Trade for the WR if there is no one in FA. All we have to do is look at how well the Pierce pick has looked. Pittman took a little time and Downs might as well. Time to get the alpha WR1 right now this off season. JMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husker61 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 It would be nice to have the Taylor money when signing free agents (ours or others). Maybe the colts can trade him for a top wr? That’s right, nobody is going to want the colts big mistake. linebacker is the biggest need on defense and has been for a long time and they need more than one! The offense has been ok with a backup qb that doesn’t throw the ball down field. Need to draft a qb that could be a capable back up or maybe surprise and be starter material. It seems to be something every team has to have with all the qb’s that are getting hurt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterlock Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I hear Ballard talking about overpaying free agents, and yet he doesn't seem to have a problem paying big bucks to in-house talent. Maybe there shouldn't be a distinction between in-house and outside talent when it comes to assessing a player's market value. Anyway, I'd re-sign Pittman, so long as he doesn't want outrageous money. There seems to be a new trend with contract extensions, where it's not enough to simply get a new contract; it has to set the record as the highest contract for the position, almost as if for bragging rights, which I have a hard time relating to. I'd also re-sign Grover and Kenny (with the same caveat). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR91 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Offensively, we just really missed Pittman making things easier for Minshew and Freeland was having his rookie moments which didn't help either. Defensively, we need to stop being so stubborn with getting home with just our front 4. Our secondary needs help. Their young and can get exposed if a QB has time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm not sure Troy Franklin will be available at 54. I've heard him spoken of as an early 2nd/late 1st rounder? Edit: Payton Wilson out of NC State may also be an option at LB.

Zoltan Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I don't think Kenny Moore or Zach Moss will be resigned with Taylor's new contract I imagine a rookie RB in the 4/5th round will replace Moss. As for Moore I suspect they will move Flowers to the slot and let Moore walk. We will then either add a veteran outside CB in FA or draft another CB in round 2/3. Otherwise we will go best player available in round 1 and a LB in 2/3. We won't sign any big names FA (even though 1 or 2 will get tied to the Colts) and we will sign a couple vets in day 10 to 20 of FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not 30, and he’s having a great year grading around 80, and he plays a key position which he might be the best in the NFL. And you want to let him go? Kenny Moore? I hope you’re wrong. It’s not that I don’t like the dude and he probably has 1 or 2 good seasons left but he will be 29 years old at the start of the season and I think it will be a combination of the contract size Moore will want combined with the team wanting to use his cap space elsewhere. I see Moore signing a big contract early in FA, and hopefully that will give us some compensatory picks next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the db’s are that bad, the system they are asked to play in isn’t helping them and they are young. The starting lb’s are way below nfl standards, number of tackles is the most misleading stat for linebackers. And do the colts have more than two? middle linebackers should lead in tackles because so many runs are up the gut. most of their tackles are for gains , some for first downs, i agree total tackles is a very misleading stat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
