To keep Bene outside and allow Norman to play 2016 here, I think the frugal and wise move is to draft his replacement and groom him for a season.  I am not against McClain as the nickel, but I would not mind trying to upgrade there as well.  Maybe the drafted CB could play inside---wish I understood the difference more.

We need depth at CB. I like Bene but injuries at that position cost us down the stretch.  I'm for an Amukamara signing and a draft pick.

Yes, we sure do.  I look at a player like Ted Williams who can't play defense.  We are paying him over a million dollars per season.  He led the special teams in penalties.  We need roster spots that have the potential to play CB.

I'm a bit surprised Teddy Williams wasn't among our cuts.   But of course, he still could be cut later in the year.

I wanted Dickson to be cut as well.  However, they may be waiting to see if they draft a TE who can block and catch.

Give me Anquan Boldin!

 

A strong handed possession guy with the ability to still get down field the odd time. If we had Boldin in place of Cotchery in the SB we win that game.

On 111 targets last season Boldin had only 2 drops. Cam needs another WR with reliable hands.

Id love to take a look at David Bruton and Brandon Boykin in the secondary, depending on what they are going for.

We just Tillman and Cortland. 

It's a weak draft at CB. I don't think Gman/Ron is hoping to take one in the 2nd to play a major role. We ain't gonna get one that late in the 2nd. 

 

Hayward or Prince + Weddle

I agree with this. I would love Casey Heyward in the slot. He's young and a real solid player. Not sure why he isn't drawing much interest. If they somehow managed to get Weddle and Heyward and go D-line round 1 and 2, I would be very happy with this team.

 

DE: Charles Johnson (30)

DT: Star Lotulelei (26)

DT: Kawann Short (27)

DE: Kony Ealy (24)

WLB: Thomas Davis (33)

MLB: Luke Kuechly (25)

SLB: Shaq Thompson (22)

CB: Josh Norman (28)

SS: Kurt Coleman (28)

FS: Eric Weddle (31)

NB: Casey Hayward (27)

CB: Bene Benwikere (25)

scary young defense 

[DaveThePanther2008]

The longer we wait the lower the price.  Teams jump out and sign players left and right.  Philly 2 years or so ago. Vince Young's Dream Team and they were garbage.   Did the Giants hit a home run?  Maybe

In the end a home run is just one run.   I'd rather take a single and double because in the end I got another man in scoring position. 

Oh hell, it is frustrating as crap to sit back and watch players that could be a difference maker go to other teams.   Let the smoke clear, let is slow down and then real negotiations start and we get that single and double and not only have talent but depth.  We don't go 15-1 without our depth.

A bunch of players left. Players that can contribute to this team: 

Weddle

Okung

prince

Reggie Nelson (pair with Coleman; crazy duo)

Andre Smith

Boldin

Hayward

Fairley

Long

Thurman

Penn

Wallace

alfred Morris (would be great to pair up with stew, shouldn't cost too much)

Kearse

Leon Hall (vet)

Nolan Carroll (good in Miami) 

R Randall

Zach Miller

Roddy White

Andre Johnson

 

Think much smaller than those names. Gino Gradkowski is the perfect example of what I was talking about.

Just from the aspect of his wife is crazy can almost guarantee we won't sign him. He got into so much hot water for his wife talking poo about the team and coaches on twitter.

Idk signing a guy like grimes allows us to focus fully on d line with safety as a close second

i agree, but because of all the off the field issues and headaches his wife caused, I just don't see it happening here.
