Free Agency
-
This is a year where there are two or three young, first round talent linemen that have not lived up to their potential hitting the market.
Joeckel and Warmack are both set to become free agents this year and both will likely jump at the chance to get mid-level starter money and get their careers back on track. Both have underplayed their draft position and have dealt with some injuries along the way. I'd be happy signing either one of those and resigning Cooper and letting our line work itself out in the offseason.
I wouldn't mind seeing Joeckel and Pasztor battle it out for the RT spot, Warmack and Cooper battle it out for the RG spot, and let Greco battle it out with a rookie (Elflein/Pocic/Orlosky/Fuller) for the C spot.
That would give us a depth chart of:
LT - Thomas / Joeckel / Pasztor
LG- Bitonio / Cooper / Reiter
C - Greco / Rookie
RG - Warmack / Cooper / Reiter
RT - Joeckel / Pasztor
That's 8 offensive linemen, four of which are first round talent. We'd likely get Joeckel and Warmack for mid-level contracts, we wouldn't be breaking the bank to sign them.
Then, if we were to draft Trubisky, we'd be following in the Raiders/Cowboys mold of plugging in your athletic rookie QB behind a stout offensive line and limiting the shots he takes.
Sounds like a fair plan. Would our anal-yitics guys go for it. Would these FAs go for playing for the Browns? Where are Drango and Coleman in your plan? Aufed?

We could keep one - I believe 9 is a healthy OL number.

I say trade Joe Haden. He is good when healthy, but his health concerns worry me. Someone out there will take him. I say trade him for a 2nd in 2017 and a 4th in the 2018 drafts. Use tthe 2017 pick to get a solid corner next year in the 2nd and sign Eric Berry and Trumaine Johnson in Free Agency, and that secondary will get a whole lot better. \
Draft Trubisky and Jabril Peppers to fill key positions at both QB and FS. A guard in the 2nd, Dlineman for a few picks, sign Kevin Zeitler from the Bengals and Ryan Schrader in Free Agency as well. That oline would be dominant.
If we had to we could move up into the 3rd for a C to potentially replace Cam Erving if he falters.
They need to take players based on needs but if they can land Mitch and Jabril in the 1st, that would be awesome -
I'd love Peppers for Homer reasons, but we aren't taking a QB #1 overall.

Very doable plan if we were the only team in the league... and there was no salary cap...

Peppers is making a good case today as the #1 pick

And barett is proving he's tebow squared

Like completely bitching out on making a tackle attempt on Curtis Samuel during his 9 yard run to setup the 4th down...?
What else made him look #1 overall? His first career INT tipped them dropped right into his hands.
Fuck Peppers and his draft stock.

Peppers isn't a first overall pick. He's a tweener. He's to small for the line and not big enough for a run stopping lb'er spot.
And he's to big and slow for Safety.
He is a good player, but without a position
-
correct me if im' wrong but isn't Peppers running 4'3-4'4 40's? And that's too slow for safety? Hell I might draft that fucker at RB. But srsly defensively he's gonna be a nasty hybrid LB/FS
-
Did Peppers make a play in the secondary that I missed?
I did see him trailing slower Buckeyes... some with the ball... some without it. But there was that tipped ball he centerfielded...
Defenders I saw I'd want included:
- a Taco and a large Glasgow;
- a McMillan and a Hooker.

No. But does Ohio State win that game without Malik Hooker's 3rd pick 6 of the year?

Just have to convince good players in their prime to come here
No chance unless you grossly overpay

Seriously? If you want a punt returner as the #1 pick. Otherwise....Malik Hooker was every bit the defensive player as Peppers.
(but I don't know if Hooker will be coming out)
If Peppers were there with our second pick from the Eagles...OK. Not #1

I will go the CalFox route: Hot Fudge Sundae.

I will help: No.

Let some other team waste their pick on Peppers.
He is a good run defender who plays well in the box, but he has problems in pass coverage. He is athletic and fast enough to cover, but he gets caught flat-footed and is slow to react to cuts. That consistently allows separation. In the NFL, Peppers would be best as a strong safety who walks down into the box like Deone Bucannon. However, Peppers could get picked on in pass coverage.
Peppers.is not discernably better than Reynolds or Kindred. You know, the guys we already start.
