So we release maake and damione, take no one in the draft, and get player in fa that hasn't played in two years..i really have no idea what the coaches are thinking on this one, can someone please explain this..i cant believe this is probably what we're going to have to go into next year with at DT

Looks like its going to be Louis Leonard/ Tank Tyler/H. Thomas and Nick Hayden.

Leonard played in 2 games last year..Hayden only recorded stats in 6 games.. Hollis Thomas is 36 and Tyler played in about half the games last season. Ed johnson our fa has played in 5 games total the last 2 years

Hollis Thomas is not even on our roster.

The rotation will be Leonard, Tyler, E. Johnson, and Irvin at DT.

Brown, Johnson, Brayton, and a vet FA to be named later at DE.....given his history with Meeks, I think Raheem Brock will be added at some point before TC.

hollis isn't a panther...at least not now. he's not under contract.

the FO said that DT wasn't a big need in the draft and i guess they still don't feel like it is.

right now at DT we have leonard, tank, irvin, ed johnson, hayden, and landri.

hopefully we will be getting more in here. i don't think that it is going to be a problem. lots of teams switching to a 3-4 lose some UTs because they don't quite fit anymore.

LE: Tyler Brayton - Charles Johnson

DLT: Louis Leonard - Ed Johnson

DRT: Tank Tyler - Corvey Irvin

RE: Everette Brown - Greg Hardy (DP)

looks intriguing. I'm actually really interested to see what they start doing with the line now that they don't have peppers to lean on.

The Giants have four DTs and six DEs on their roster, and just added one more of each. They'll be getting rid of a couple, and not necessarily the senior citizens. And there are other teams in that same situation.

This draft was really heavy in DTs and DEs. Not all will contribute this year, but a ton of teams will have to make room for their rookies. We should be able to find some talent with a year or two left.

if it makes you feel better just think that tank tyler was our 5th round pick from the draft because thats what we gave up to get him. also we have irvin that was a 3rd last year

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.
