"Top tier" players, in this context, are defined as players who will command a multi-year contract of over six million dollars per year ( my definition-not Webster's). It does not necessarily mean they are one of the top 5 players at their position, although that may be the case. Based on that definition, Odrick (8 million/yr.) and Thomas (9 million/yr) would have been considered top tier while Skuta and Parnell were mid-tier (about 5 million/yr. each).

 

Sorry, but there is no way that Irvin, Gipson, Trevathan or Sean Smith would be considered mid-tier by that definition even though none of them are pro bowl players (Gipson was 2 years ago).

Second tier would be Davon house and Skuta type guys.


First tier is Odrick Parnell Thomas. Guys who get signed the first couple of days.

Lol not Parnell

Lol not Parnell

Yeah you right lol

1st tier- Odrick and Julius Thomas

 

2nd tier- House and Skuta

 

Draft - 1st Fowler 2nd Yeldon

---

Upper Tier:

 

1. Bruce Irvin - he's my best long-term pass rushing option in Free Agency.

2. George Iloka - I think he's the best long-term DB option with the possible exception of Hayward.

 

Mid Tier:

1. Mario Williams - I'm only putting him down here due to his age. I think he's a great talent with a few more years in the tank.

2. Rodney McLeod - If you can get him here, he's a steal.

Option - Dwayne Allen - He's never really panned out in Indianapolis. I think he'd fit in well on this roster.

 

Draft:

Myles Jack - I really think he's an above-the-numbers talent.

Noah Spence - Wouldn't that be nice?

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Upper:

1. OLB/DE Bruce Irvin (I think Bradley could get him to play hard, put Fowler at RDE full-time)

2. RB - Matt Forte (star power, added dimension to offense paired with improved O-line)

 

Mid:

1. OG - Jeff Allen (move Cann to Center)

2. CB - Sean Smith (Colvin or House to NB)

 

Draft:

1. FS - Jalen Ramsey (starting Free Safety with ability to play CB  if needed)

2. DE - Kevin Dodd (eventual starting LDE, and can play RDE if Fowler or Irvin both standing up)

Sean Smith is probably gonna'  get more $ than Forte.

 

I like the list - I'd just switch those two around.  (Also Forte is admittedly ring chasing, so he won't sign with the Jags IMO.)

Y'all are very generous with what you're considering mid tier free agents...

Tier 1: Household names that everyone knows, and everyone knows will command big money. The guys you constantly read about.

Tier 2: Older guys who only have a few years left or guys who aren't as well known.

 

That was my approach. Irvin being listed at second-tier confused me.

Top: Bruce Irvin and Kelechi Osemele

 

Mid: Mario Williams and Eric Weddle

 

1st Jalen Ramsey

2nd Robert Nkemdiche

1st tier

-Bruce Irvin/LEO/SEA

-Malik Jackson/DL/DEN

 

2nd tier

-Janoris Jenkins/CB/STL

-Tashaun Gipson/S/CLE

 

Round 1

-Myles Jack/LB/UCLA-Can be Poz's replacement at MLB next year

 

Round 2-Some round 1 talent will fall to the 2nd Spence or Nkemdiche 

-Noah Spence/DE/EKU- If he falls to us we must get him an elite talent

 

-Robert Nkemdiche/DL/MISS- Supposedly will have a fall like Gregory did. If we can snag him in the second round and he can be developed into a great d-lineman.

-Pre-Med student

-Future Physician, hoping to specialize in Emergency Medicine or Hematology

-Jags fan since May 24, 1996

 

 

2nd tier


-Janoris Jenkins/CB/STL

-Tashaun Gipson/S/CLE

 

:blink:

 

What constitutes "second tier" in your mind?  Those dudes fittin' to get paid.

Nkemdiche has the potential to completely take over games. Problem is, he doesn't seem to want to play to it all the time. And then there's the thing about him doing a swan dive out of the third floor hotel.

Top Tier

 

1. Olivier Vernon - DE - Dolphins

2. Sean Smith - CB - Chiefs

 

If the Jags got nothing other than those two then it would be a good free agent signing period

 

2nd Tier

 

3. Ramon Foster - OLG - Steelers - Power Run game

4. Chris Ivory - RB - Jets - Short Yardage specialist - immediately paid for with the cutting of Gerhart
