It's funny, for some reason I really haven't been paying attention this year to the FA class coming up and the draft class during the season.
Now, however, with the season over my mind's swimming.
First looking at the notable FA's:
Chung
Welker
Woodhead
Arrington
Vollmer
Edelman
Talib
Now first off, let's say bye bye to Chung. No reason to bring him back. Now, I think we resign Welker, that's first priority. And bring back Talib on a 3-ish year contract. Resign Arrington for cheap. Vollmer's gonna cost too much, let him walk. Here's where it gets tough- resign either Woodhead or Edelman. I'm going off on a limb here, I'm taking Edelman. I don't want Woodhead to leave, but something's telling me someone's gonna pay him more than they should. We need to save the money, Edelman will come back for cheap.
So of the players above, Vollmer, Woodhead, and Chung walk.
Now for FA. I think there will be one or two big FA splashes. First off, Henry Melton, boy would he make this pass rush a million times better in the middle. That's one guy, but if he costs too much Alan Branch could be available for cheaper as well. The other splash would possibly be Ed Reed, a guy many have speculated would come here. I'm leaving that as only a possibility because he may cost a LOT of money.
Other signings I'm predicting are Brian Hartline, Deandre Levy (as a coverage LB), possibly Ed Reed, and maybe someone to bring in at RT.
I'll also add that CFL Anothony Armstead guy everyone's been talking about, why not.
So FA and Re signings That I'm predicting:
WR Wes Welker
CB Aqib Talib
WR Julian Edelman
CB Kyle Arrington
DT Henry Melton
WR Brian Hartline
LB DeAndre Levy
DE Anthony Armstead
Now for the draft here's the selections I'm PREDICTING, not the actual selections:
1st (29th)
2nd(60th)
3rd traded down for 4th and 5th round selections
so a 4th
5th
Two 7th rounders.
1st round- Many say Tavon Austin, but I'll say Terrence Williams, as I saw from one mock- size and staright line speed, oh yeah. :rocker:
2nd round- David Amerson CB/S. Depth at CB, but can also play safety in case he's needed. We've learned you can never have too much depth in the D-backfield. He can compete for the starting spot with Dowling when Talib or Dennard go down. (Wait, what??
)
4th- Brennan Williams OT. Will compete with Marcus Cannon. Sounds scary that that's all I'm putting for OL help, but ehh, Scarnechia will figure it out.
5th Chase Thomas, DE. Trevor Scott, Jermaine Cunningham, a little up in the air on them. Why not give some pass rush competition??
7a. Jake Knott, LB. LB depth, plain and simple.
7b. OL depth, insert name here.
Thoughts??
