Really though. 

Combine our cap space with our draft position and there's no excuses this offseason. There is NO reason why this team can't be back in the conference championship next season. 

And that's coming from someone who 90% of the time is VERY pesimistic.

 

You are such a pessimist.That even in a positive post, you couldn't help being a tad pessimistic. lol

Thing is we need multiple DE's and really only one safety, preferably a SS.

Give me the young motors on cheaper deals at a more premium position combined with experience on the back end instead of the other way around.  Please.

 

Personally, in this off-season, I want both youth, and experience at DE. Bring in a solid Vet DE, and draft one in the 1st, or 2nd round.

 

At SS, all I want is a solid Vet. One to pair with Coleman, and really help settle those young CBs.

 

IMO, just those 3 moves will get us back where we want to go. Which leaves plenty of resources to throw at that Offense.

Wow, it's a good year to have roughly 40 million in cap space I see. Call me a Gamecock homer, but the thought of Melvin Ingram lining up at DE just gave me a semi.

Would also want Swearinger BUT Swearinger brings some of that Josh Norman energy/attitude (which we desperately missed) with him and I'm not so sure Gettleman is the type of guy that likes that stuff

There is a reason Houston cut Swearinger. He can be too aggressive which causes bad angles and missed tackles. Unless he has improved in this aspect, I wouldn't pay much for him.

Surprise, surprise, Remmers graded as 66.1

[imminent rogaine]

Let Klein walk and give me Tulloch for Luke Insurance and additional vet presence. Has played well previo0usly with some age and an NC connection. Should be fairly cheap. We know DG likes to kick the tires on these aging vets. Also seems to be very involved in the community which is always a plus.

In regards to safety... the answer is already on the roster (sort of)... BRIAN BLECHEN!

Haven't had a chance to read the whole thread yet.

One caveat:  A lot of these guys will never make it to free agency.

And PFF grades are so random sometime.  Look at our free agents.  Would you really grade players like Horton & Love as low as PFF did, or AJ Klein?  I mean seriously, grades in the 40s???

So, while I appreciate PFF's database and how you can sort it by team, position, status, grade, etc., it needs to be taken with a lot of grains of salt...

It becomes a lot more useful once FA actually starts and it becomes clear what players are actually on the market...

[CatMan72]

Gettleman made a point of mentioning that the Giants did invest in FA at times when he was there... thought that was interesting to hear him say in his post season presser. 

[Ken]

feel like most of these top guys are guaranteed to back with their teams. You never know though.

A decent pool of mid-tier FA's but sadly not at OT. There might be a diamond in the dirt out there.

Prob target a OG, S, WR and FB.

Feel like we might target Doyle from Indy since they have like 3 good TEs.

Kendall Wright/Robert Woods might be a potential WR target too.

[top dawg]

Damn! All I've been looking at are tackles and receivers. Missing out, man. There's some talent at several positions, especially safety.  It'll be fun to see what Getty comes up with.

Yeah i don't think PFF should be used as the sole metric in evaluating players but AJ Klein was very bad in space whether it was closing down the ball carrier or in coverage, he was always a fraction away from making a play. Kyle Love was a hair's breath from having 3 sacks against the Bucs last week but he is slow, I think that's why he was initially cut by the Panthers because he lost some burst.

Same.  I remember when he was drafted, how pissed I got that we couldn't get him coming out of FIU. I don't know what happened in JAX, but I'm guessing a change of scenery to a defensive mastermind like Carolina will resurrect him. 

I'm also happy with bringing in Jefferson, but I prefer Cyprien's style here and he's an inch taller...not that it really matters, but just sayin'.  Cyprien reminds me of Mike Mitchell and Chris Harris' style of play and then we brought them here and they thrived. 

Let's do it again and then we can go either Barnett/Fournette in R1 instead of safety. Or we could technically go Adams/Hooker in R1 and then come back with Chandler Jones or JPP at DE.

Soul, meaning to tell you 0.0% chance Chandler Jones hits free agency. Cards came out said if no deal, they will tag. I wanted him in the mix too. But that means they cannot tag Jefferson, too.

I don't see whats so great about this free agent class, to me it's beyond awful. Once teams get done tagging and resigning (before may9th) it will be even worse. Count me in as much more interested in the cut class.

Cyprien so long it's cheap and short, why not? One red flag is he was benched and this was under DB guru Gus. Still seen the magic of what a new team, teammates, environment, coaches, and living area do. I know for a fact they are looking to upgrade Tre Boston.

Tolbert needs to go.

I concur. If I have to watch him put one of those pro bowl blocks on a LB or DE one more time I'm gonna lose it. (Pro bowl block is one of them where u put very little effort as to not get Anyone hurt)

[KillerKat]

One guy we should sign on a prove it deal is Sebastian Vollmer. If healthy, he would provide tremendous help at RT.
