I think a lot of people are overlooking how much cap we are going to have next year especially if all the guys get cut that should(sanchez,holmes,harris,cro, goodson, etc.) sure we are probably going to lock up wilk to a new contract but after that we are still looking at around 50 if everything gets done right. 50 mill and atleast 12 draftpicks(one from revis deal and 4 comp). next offseason is going to be big and maybe we will tank for JD this year grab him trade back up for a good wr(lee,coleman,watkins) and address other positions after that. moving on to free agency i definitely want to try to get jimmy graham, a safety if we didnt get one high in draft (jarius byrd, kam chancellor, etc), corner to replace cro(brent grimes,brandon browner... theres a lot), OLB(ORAKPOOO) and maybe RT oh and last but not least..... sign Geno atkins and have possibly the best dline of all time(switching to a 4-3). this would make the team look something like... Dline: sheldon, atkins, wilk, JD LBs:Orakpo, demario, coples secondary:dee, cro replacement, kyle wilson(nickel), clinton dix(draft), jarius byrd(or others he may be to expensive) Oline: Brick, colon, mangold, winters/ someone else(if he doesnt work out), new rt(no clue who... maybe draft or just resign howard) Backs:geno, ivory(or ben tate/DMC maybe if ivory injuries are still bad), bohannon Receivers/TE:marqise lee, stephen hill, kerley, graham, cumberland needless to say im pretty excited for 2015 season, big things are coming... hopefully
You can't play Coples as a 4-3 OLB. 4-3 just doesn't work as a base look for this current group. Too many interior types. 46/Hybrid is the way to go. Really love the idea of Brian Orakpo opposite Coples though..or even next to Denario at ILB...
ESPN: Clowney will need foot surgery http://espn.go.com/college-football...h-carolina-gamecocks-says-foot-surgery-season This is a pretty big deal at this point. Clowney could be available in the back half of the top 10 if this is true.
I highly doubt we get more than one of Clowney, Lee/Watkins, Graham, Orakpo, Byrd/Chancellor, Browner, and Geno Atkins (who was just signed to a big deal)... and we sure as hell arent getting all of them. This is not madden We cant sign the best TE in football (doubt he'll even hit the market), very good OLB, S, CB... and draft 2 top 15 players.
