Resign

Jordan Todman

Austin Pasztor

Ryan Davis

Will Ta'ufo'ou

Alan Ball

Geno Hayes

Jt Thomas

 

Todman has shown flashes of elusiveness and looks like a solid 3rd down back. Pasztor is a solid option to compete for right tackle. Ryan Davis is a fantastic situational pass rusher. Tau has been solid at fb and deserves a chance to compete. Colvin, Mccray Gratz Ball gives us a very good rotation of corner whilst geno hayes has been solid not spectacular at will and sam linebacker. All of them deserve a chance to compete in camp

 

FA's- 

 I see lots of randell cobbs  brian bulagas and devin mccourtys on this list. The packers have alot of cap space and could restructure peppers to get even more space is they need to. I think cobb is a vital part of the green bay offense and will get paid. Bulaga has struggled until this season so the packers can probably get him cheap enough to resign. Don't see either of them going anywhere.

Mccourty has been top this year and the packers will restructure revis to resign him. He isn't going anywhere either. I'm trying to keep the below as realistic as possible.

 

offense

 

I would sign Doug free on a front loaded four year deal. He has a team option but with jerry talking about suh to cornerstone his defense not to mention demarco murray, rolando mclain and dez bryant they need cap space. Parnell has played well with free injured and is also an fa and has youth on his side. Both know the zbs so i would sign either but think free is more likely. Pasztor becomes his back up with joeckel getting another year to live up to his draft stock.

 




i would also sign Rodney Hudson from kc at centre. Kc is low on cap and needs to resign Houston. He is young mobile and would be an instant upgrade. Linder and beadles at guard with bowanko becoming the swing guard and hopefully developing to beat out beadles as our pulling guard which i think plays to his strengths

 




I think we also take a tight end after another weak draft class but i don't know which. Its a deep group and i would be happy with Thomas gresham Cameron or clay. I think Charles clay is the best option. He is a good run blocker which is important to us and a solid pass catcher and would give bortles a good all round option

 




Lastly i want to sign a vet wideout but i think its a difficult balance. We have 3 good rookies and if we signed a Eddie royal or Jeremy maclin it would cost big money and a rookie would end up out in the cold. I think we are best letting shorts test fa and seeing how the market falls. It would not surprise me if shorts tested the market, didn't get much and choose to come back to the jags on a one or two year prove it deal.




 

FA's- defense

I think we draft defense this year. I don't like rahim moore either, don't think he is quick enough to be our earl thomas. As such I'm not addressing free safety here. That leaves edge rusher, linebacker in my mental list of needs

 

Rolando McClain- I'm pillaging dallas again because something has got to give. If the cowboys cut free and carr that leaves them with 16 mil in cap space assuming a cap of 50 million. If you assume dez bryant is going to want at least 8 mil in his first year and demarco murray around 5 that leaves you with 3 million not to mention dallas are interested in suh who is going to want huge money. Not to mention they have sean lee on a coming of an acl injury. I think they take mcclain as a rental and let him go and the jags should pick him up. He is a top linebacker in the nfl and a great all rounder. Pay the guy what he wants. At 25 he could lock down the mike for the next 5- 10 years.

 

Draft

 

1st Round  Randy Gregory (de)

2nd Round  Gerod Holliman (fs) trade may be needed but the guy is messy and there are much better prospects so i think he will slip to around pick 21 in the first perhaps lower depending on his 40) Assuming 21 it would probably cost our third rounder to get him

4th Round- Eric Striker olb

5th round Clive Walford (te)

6th Round Ladarius Gunter (cb)

7th Round David Cobb (rb)
