A FS who's got range and ball instincts. Most of the S you listed to me are just SS, and we have Jefferson, Elliott and Clark on our roster for another 2-3 seasons.obviously get a fucking C and G, but other than that, do you guys think we should O or D heavy?
Personally, I think FS has become top priority, maybe even more than any spot on offense. Weddle will be gone, and good safety play is a must, in an afc where you have to beat a pat mahomes to make the SB, you need great safeties. Weddle is done, Jefferson is above average at best and shaky in coverage. Deionte Thompson has risen up to my top priority prospect, sadly we don’t have a 2nd rounder to trade up if we need to.
After that, I don’t know if there’s an OL I want in the first, at which point Mack Wilson(with Mosley walking and getting us a comp) or an interior rush DT become my top priorities. We can no longer afford to have slow safeties like weddle arriving late and blowing plays, having a box safety trying to run with elite WRs, and depending on a 250+pound LB who’s often injured running with WRs and TEs. We have too much old school defense, and in key moments when we need speed, it fails us. When we need pass rush, we have to blitz for it because our interior DL sucks at pressure. We need to modernize our defense. This is why I think we need yet another defensive focused offseason.... sadly.
Who are some free agents we can target?
I listed one safety and that’s Deionte Thompson and he is absolutely a single high FS with range and ballhawking instincts, if you think he’s a SS you clearly haven’t watched him and let the bama bias get to you.A FS who's got range and ball instincts.

RB extend Ty and Gus, draft Henderson. I haven't watched his tape yet, but I really like some of his runs I saw during the TV breaks, if he hits the open field he's gone. That's what we're missing atm.
WR: as of now this is a meh draft class. for the right price extend brown.
OL: Matt Paradis or draft a C. I'd like to see Stanley-Hurst-Bozeman-Yanda-Brown for the rest of the season. I think we might draft a G in the later rounds.
DL: need a 3down interior guy. via FA Jarrett or Gunter. Pierce gets the 2nd round tender. Try to trade
LB: I expect a high price tag for Mosley 12M+.Williams got 10m per, so Mosley will get at least 11+. Kwon Alexander or Hicks can be signed to a cheaper contract.
I'm sorry I thought you posted the FA list. No I actually want us to draft him in the 1st I mentioned that in the cfb thread multiple times.I listed one safety and that’s Deionte Thompson and he is absolutely a single high FS with range and ballhawking instincts, if you think he’s a SS you clearly haven’t watched him and let the bama bias get to you.
Ahh gotcha. I’ve heard quite a few people say Deionte Thompson is a SS and I just scratch my head until it bleeds when I hear that bullshitI'm sorry I thought you posted the FA list. No I actually want us to draft him in the 1st I mentioned that in the cfb thread multiple times.
Brb killing myselfI hear theres a potential hof safety coming out this. Derwin James. Ozzie will draft him if he falls to 16, no questions asked
Of course he will. Ozzie knows how to pick safeties. Forget Ed Reed how about Matt Elam and Terrence Brooks?I hear theres a potential hof safety coming out this. Derwin James. Ozzie will draft him if he falls to 16, no questions asked
Or bring in great FAs like Michael Huff and Kendrick LewisOf course he will. Ozzie knows how to pick safeties. Forget Ed Reed how about Matt Elam and Terrence Brooks?
Paradis is a ZBS blocker at C to the extreme. In the hands of an offensive genius like Sean Payton Id be good with having the power scheme personel that we have with a zone blocking C simply because we could kill teams in multiple ways. If we keep Roman, I could see us doing it. Roman implements a lot of zone concepts into the power concepts(it's why OBJs PFF grade isn't as high as it could be. He struggles with those, but those are beneficial to Lamar)A FS who's got range and ball instincts.

Unpopular opinion here: I don't want Ozzie teaching anyone a thing about "bargain" contracts.Hopefully Ozzie teaches Decosta the ways of an Ozzie bargain contract.
We definitely need a better contracts guy than Moriarty, but Ozzie does get some pretty cheap deals as well as really bad deals.Unpopular opinion here: I don't want Ozzie teaching anyone a thing about "bargain" contracts.
So many times we got guys at a "bargain" when they ended up being way overpaid in the long run (Williams, Jefferson) or the "bargain" really was just the top of the trash heap (almost any vet olineman or WR in the past 10 years not named Steve Smith).
Anyways, heavy on offense. If we don't come out of the next draft with two offensive linemen in the top three I'll be disappointed. I know that sounds crazy but we're facing a talent deficit on the line, and we're about to suffer turnover. Yanda's old. Lewis is a big ole question mark. Skura is meh. Stanley is soon to be in a contract year. Really, the only two sure things we have are Hurst and Eluemunor and neither of them are sure things. It's time to reload.

How could I forget Hercules. He's the only sure thing in the long term. Imo, we have Brown and four question marks in the long term.You’re forgetting the mountain sized man at RT

Ronnie Stanley's soon to face a contract year, hence the long term question mark.Ronnie Stanley has been an absolute hero after an inconsistent start - he's been playing at a high level and playing at a high level through injury
we have our 2 tackles of the future...
