Here are my thoughts on Byrd and the Jags:

 

The guy is talented for sure and would greatly enhance our secondary BUT it doesnt matter how good our secondary is unless the big uglies are putting pressure up front. Byrd at this point would be a luxury to me, we need a much greater pass rush presence for the signing of Byrd to look good. IF he came here and we dont really add overwhelming talent in the front 7 then we will all "bash" the signing of Byrd.

 

We know that he wants to be paid big right? I dont see caldwell overpaying for a guy that isnt a huge need. Evans is a solid player, he will continue to improve under this staff. While he isnt on the same level Byrd, I think he is good enough for this team.

 

Will I be upset if we signed Byrd, NO. I prefer us to spend the "big" money on the trenches. Alex Mack should be our number 1 target but I doubt he leaves Cleveland.

 

I like the thinking TMD but to me it doesnt make sense for where we are as a team right now.

 

 

1: Alex Mack but we end up with Dietrich Smith

2: Orakpo if he leaves DC (aint happening imo, but we get Mack in the draft so we will be fine)

3: Ben Tate/Dmac, want one of these guys

4: Lamar Houston, not the big name guy like Michael Johnson and Bennett but I think he would fit in very well here and be more productive than the other 2. I would take one of the 3 though.

5: Scwartz/Assomaugh

6: Linval Josesph...young talented DT with a big upside.

7: Byrd: see above

8: Brandon Pettigrew or resign Clay

9: Captain Munnerlyn/Thurmond or Verner...obviously verner is the most talented of the bunch but Im not sure he is a Gus guy...Cant have enough talent at CB though

10: Brandon Lafell/James Jones...really unsure about Justins future. I dont think we need to overspend on a guy like Decker but James Jones would be nice.

 

These is my FA wishlist in no particular order.
