Good day Cousins.
Hated to see D.J. Chalk go to the Lions but there is another rumor. Second year WR Laviska Shenault might be available for trade. He was slot receiver about 30% of the time. He also ran the wildcat and is 6'1" 227 lbs. He is a play maker but was just not on the same page as Trevor Lawrence.Typical BB pick up. Change of scenery guy. The Jags just spent a ton on receivers. His contract is cheap. Maybe this is fertile ground for a Harry trade? Our surplus TE Asiasi? Or a even a pick.? We can afford him. He's young. He was Drafted #44 two years ago. "Shenault’s twitch, vision and speed make him an ideal chess piece, able to move around based on best matchups and mismatches." He reminds me of what BB did with Corardell Patterson a few years ago.
We have CAP problems. Trades might be the way to go like the Mack Wilson trade.
Look at the talent sampling.
Speaking of the Jags , why isn't BB on the phone to SIGN the cut OLB Myles Jack? Young. Fast. Fell out of favor. Another change of scenery kid.
O.K. Draft a CB, but Patrick Petersen even at going to be 32 was decent last year. A veteran stop gap. He had a very goos year with the Vikings. He should be reasonable but his on field smarts will be an advantage. 4.31 speed might be less but not too much. Reasonable cost?. coverage grade of 65.0 and a run defense grade of 65.5.
Rodney Harrison was 30 when picked up by the Pats. BB likes talented experienced guys and just resigned 33 year old McCourty.
I would like to get Gilmore backs (same age) but have we burned that bridge? He'll be more $ than PP.
My last request to build our LB core is Leighton Vander Esch. Coverage ability and side to side game. Injuries have been his problem, not his on field success. Still fast and young.
Thoughts?
