Here is what we know:  Morgan was not looking to sign a bunch of JAGs.  He was going for a top Safety and a top Defensive Lineman.  Signing a top CB (Horn), a top S, and he whiffed on a DT (calling DE a DT to avoid confusion). 

S: I think Moehrig will be the qb of the secondary and since S is deep in this draft, the other S may come on day 2 of the draft. 

CB: I think they will slow play the second CB, hoping maybe to get Jackson back on the cheap.

I wish maybe we had focused on a bit more affordable option than Williams. I think maybe we really put all our eggs in that basket.

I like how even by addressing the secondary Morgan also improved the run defense. Moehrig was one of the better run defenders at the safety position last season, so even if we lost out on Williams there was still an effect.

With the Patrick Jones II signing, the depth gets a little better in the EDGE room while still allowing a draft pick. There's also some good DTs still out there to kick the tires on.

I'm hoping we double dip at safety... Get Evero a free safety so that we can let Jaycee cancel out opposing WR1s again.

7 sacks last year.  "up to" is a key phrase in this contract.  I'd like to see the details.

He is strong vs the run, and at 265, probably will take Wonnum's spot (if they cut Wonnum) basically, he could rotate with Wonnum (another former Viking).  26 years of age--they are pretty much the same player, but Jones has more sacks, Wonnum has more hurries.

Patrick jones is good vs the run too.

      Reading tea leaves:  The draft is pretty solid at DT (3-4 DE).  I don't think Wharton, and Brown change the fact that we could draft one. Pat Jones does not eliminate a need at Edge. I think we will draft a pure pass rusher.  We are still razor thin at CB.  Getting Jackson back was huge for us, however.  I am not sure how much they like Evans and Bartholomew, but both (especially Evans) played pretty well down the stretch.  Good enough depth?  Conspiracy theory:  Draft Will Johnson and play Jackson at nickel.  It seems to me that we now have 2 Strong Safeties.  We need a free safety or two. I heard nothing about TE or WR today.  Does that mean we will draft those positions?  I really like about 4 Tight Ends in this draft, maybe 5.  WR?  I think the draft is more of a gamble, but I am wondering about TMac right now. The focus in free agency on defense makes sense.  Evero has types and in free agency, you can match a skill set to your needs with more precision than the draft.  The focus was on stopping the run, and with the exception of Wharton, every defensive player excels in that area. Pass rush is still a concern, imo.

      So what is your draft strategy after today?

      If McMillan played for Purdue, no one on here would be interested in him.

      So with cap space, Jaycee’s deal created 9m in space, Tuttle restructure created 3m in space.    need to see the first year of each deal to see where they stand. Team had around 29-30m in space for today’s deals.
