Is it time to consider trading Jeremy Chinn for draft capital? Dude just seems like a man without a position anymore.

good point

I think we will sign a WR in free agency, but the rest of the $$$ will go to find 2-3 free agents--a NT, S (depending on Chinn's involvement) and maybe CB (remember what Brady did to us, and we can count on Action Jackson for about a half season).  I think Shaq and Luvu will be the inside LBs.

 

 

I’m wanting Bozeman and one of the top TEs available in FA plus at WR like Hyatt/Downs at 39. I think our OL would be set (starters at least) adding Schultz/Gesicki and our rookie WR will help offset the loss of DJ Moore. Grab a mid round RB and our offense should be capable.

Brown, draft Mazi Smith in 2nd as NT, retain Matt Ioannidis

Burns, Shaq, Luvu, Barno

 

Where's YGM?  I'm afraid you're going to say 'bench' but, it is what it is...

I think we need to move Chinn for a player or draft capital.  He seems like a man without a country in the new 3-4, cover 2.  What a shame.  Any team come to mind that needs a good Kam Chancelor type SS?

Mcall should be given every opportunity to be the NT. NTs typically aren't high draft picks.

Wonder what we could get for Chinn in a trade. Feels like he’s gonna have to learn to be a 2 high safety or maybe like a big slot.

Rotational? Honestly, he's been not a disappointment but more of a "meh" player. Maybe he comes alive in the new scheme, maybe he doesn't.

I think we kept a lot of bubble players because Rhule thought they either fit his culture or were just about ready to drink his Kool-Ade. Still, in YGM's case, he hasn't been that expensive and he has been uninjured and available... if you're that kind of guy and get lucky, you can have a decent NFL career. There are 10  year vets that rarely touch a starting lineup but they hang on because they are okay, healthy, quiet and inexpensive.

If YGM is used on the front of a 3-4 line we are doomed. He will get eaten alive. 
 

Best way I see it if you’re actually going to compete:

DE: Resign Anderson or Ioannidis maybe John Cominsky if available. 

NT: Free Agent

DE: Brown

Edge: Luvu

ILB: Thompson

ILB: Draft a guy like Campbell or Eichenburg/Maybe sign a guy like Edmunds but doubt we have the cap.

Edge: Burns

OLB- Burns, Chinn (Haynes, Barno)

ILB- Shaq, Luvu, (Smith)

NT- FA, draft pick, (McCall)

DE- Brown, FA, YGM, draft pick

CB- Jackson, Henderson

CB-Horn, Taylor

SS-Woods, (re-sign Burris Or Franklin cheap)

FS- FA, (draft pick)

Nickle- FA

Chinn is going to have to add some weight, but I think he will do better on the outside than inside.  He can drop in coverage and also see him doing better against OTs/TEs than the interior guys.  I don't agree with trading him, he's too good of a player.  We have the staff to find him a home and max out his potential.

The team ran lots of 3-4 looks over the last few years. Phil snow was a multi front guy. Last year alone Burns was more a stand up rusher then most seem to remember. 

So base off what they have played before I would say:

 

olb- draft pick/Haynes/Barno

Ilb- Luvu  

Ilb- Thompson 

Olb- Burns 

De- YGM

De- Brown 

Nt- draft pick/ McCall

Probably the best case scenario…would be nice
