Quote:Nah, that's not nearly enough.
We will add more ancillary parts, but if Irvin, Smith, and a guard like Allen are the 3 splash signings of FA that would be just fine with me. Best LB, probably the best CB for our scheme, and one of the best G (maybe best young one if Osemele goes LT)...that's pretty darn solid though I know people are going to be upset if we don't get at least one of Malik or Vernon.
Quote:Easily the fastest LB group in the NFL if it happens. RB screens would be futile.
I'd love it! If they can add some rushers in FA and maybe Janoris Jenkins, wow.

You won't be pleased with Free Agency then. There's a lot of teams with cap, we aren't getting 5 top pieces.
Quote:I think Caldwell and Co. are a little smarter than to tamper...and make it so blatant.
Seems all Irvin to me.
I mean, what really is tampering, really? Dave came out and stated (@the combine) that agents were already reaching out to them, and that because guys are interested in Jacksonville as a landing spot, they might not have to neccesarily overpay. Though he did follow up with "although, you'll always overpay in free agency."
Where is the line drawn, or better yet, defined?

Here's a link:

Basically, as long as the team, or anyone associated with the team, doesn't publicly or privately show interest in a player on another team, there is no tampering. It sounds to me like the player or his reps can show interest in a team, so there's nothing wrong with what Dave said at the combine unless they also showed interest.

gotcha. kinda like harasment at the workplace. If she initiates it then it makes it kinda ok to respectfully respond
Quote:lol ok 17.3
I didn't look it up and 14 stuck in my head. Point remains the same.
For what it's worth, our defense went from 28th in ypg and 27th ppg in 2010 to 6th ypg and 11th ppg in 2011.
Now go sign Osemele to OT money and plug him in at LG for the season while Joeckel's contract expires.
Then add DE Mario Williams and FS Eric Weddle.
Draft:
1st Jalen Ramsey CB
2nd Robert Nkemdiche DT
3rd Kentrel Brothers ILB
4th Pearce Slater OT
5th Vincent Valentine DT
6th Victor Ochi OLB
6th Aaron Green RB
7th Travis Wilson QB

Lord. How did that happen?
I also never said they couldn't improve. They have to improve and I think they will on defense. They just won't improve from 28th to #1......

That looks like a pretty good offseason, if you could convince me Nkemdiche...
A. Would fall that far; and
B. Would keep his head on straight.
I also like the Valentine pick in the 5th...Brothers, too, though ideally we'd get him lower in the 3rd after a trade down.
Under this scenario...who would you put at C?
Quote:Explain the logic of a QB?
With a 7th round pick? You really don't need much justification. Maybe we can find Henne's replacement or trade him after a couple years for a 5th.
Can't remember who said it but I remember someone said they'd ideally try to draft a QB every year in hopes of hitting the lotto.

I agree. I'd rather develop a young guy on the cheap than continue paying Henne $4 mil a year. I get the big brother/camaraderie with Bortles thing, but Blake should outgrow the need for that by 2017.

who was fired that season lol

Astounding, considering our QBs were Gabbert and McCown
our WRs were Dillard Shorts and Thomas
our RB group were the elders of MoJo and Greg Jones and a bunch of guys behind them
2 rostered full backs
Marcedes Lewis and Zach Potter at TE...

B is why he would fall that far.
Wouldn't like that draft very much at all personally.
