    I love the idea that we could pick up a guy like Adalius Thomas in FA this offseason. But Im scared that the Ravens let him go and then we pass on Woodley, allowing the ravens to take woodley a couple picks later. Personally, I would rather have Woodley who has his who career in front of him as opposed to Thomas..who would you guys rather have

    Wait, I think I am confused. The Pats have the Seahawks 1st round pick correct? If so, then they would be picking after us right?

    I'm so confused today....

    Thomas is a 30 year old Bryan Thomas. No thanks. Bringing in mercenary guys from really great defenses never really works. He's a nice player, but he can be someone else's long-term contract.

    draft order

    Because the Jets had a better record than Seattle, the Pats will have a pick before the Jets unless the Seahawks make the Super Bowl.

    If you gave me that choice directly, I would say Woodley. Not so sure he will make it that high.

    adalius thomas. we have way too many young, average players on our team. we need a dominating LB who can help us out RIGHT NOW and not in 5 years.

    Except he's much more versatile, and has had ten times more success then Thomas. :rolleyes:

    I'll take Woodley, who has a whole career and a bright future in front of him. Thomas will probably get a huge contract and, if you can get a player who's going to be less expensive and has a longer time to dominate, what's the point of signing Thomas?

    any time a concern is dependent on as many variables as yours is to actually occur, you are worying too much.

    Here's some Draft/FA thinking...

    Last year, we went for mostly Depth-- this year, I think we try to nab one sure thing starter, and pay some $$ for him. I'd love to pay good $$ to get Steinbach to be our starting Guard. I don't see any good first year starting guards in the draft class other than maybe Blalock from Texas- and I sincerely doubt he would outplay Steinbach anyway. So, we pay the money there, and leave ourselves open to take players in the draft who can contribute early, like a LB, DE/NT and RB in the first 3 pics-- (Woodley, Karriker, Hunt seems attainable at this point) taking BPA out of those 3 spots if possible. LB and RB can especially be impact players right away, and have a quick break-in period in the NFL. That being said, I would still love to have either Thomas, or Clements if we didn;t land the big guard. I think we do need to pay up for one of these top free agents-- we are solid everywhere, but really not spectacular anywhere... I'd much rather get one sure thing, rather than add 3 more guys for depth like we did last year. We have good depth already- any more will just result in minor upgrades, and decent players getting cut.

    30 years old. Do you suppose he's looking for a two year deal? Dream on.

    Moreover, a previous post mentioned a guy that can help RIGHT NOW, showcasing the fundamental flaw in most teams free agent philosophy. In order to get a guy like Thomas RIGHT now, you're going to have to overpay for him in two years, when he's not worth a fraction of the price. Were "right now" the way to go, the Redskins would currently be pursuing their fifth Super Bowl this decade. Instead they're sitting at home, with a few bad draft picks.
