Neither McMillan nor Mack Wilson performed up to my hopes last season, but I don't mind giving both of them another chance here next season to permanently unseat Jalopy Tavai. We should also try to add a rangy LB in the draft as well.

Tavai was half way decent at the end of the season. The issue is that Tavai is so so slow.
 
why would you want a guy with diabetes to be drafted?..and a Demarvian Overshown would be open to a myriad of name insults if he sucks...Delousyan Undershownup....no thanks...I want guys like Tank Murdererer and Buster Innamouf...

Good points. What I'm trying to figure out is how someone can look at a new baby and decide to name him "Raekwon." Sounds like a character from Star Wars.
 
Alright fine, but can we actually invest in some linebackers? They hype up those young guys so much last year and none of em really did all that much aside Tarvai. We need to get some real athletes at linebacker.

Agree. We need freaking speed and playmaking at LB. Thumpers like Bentley, Tavai and McMillan ain't that.

Sounds like the Madden players I used to make.
 
Receiver names Catchett and Speed.
DBs name Cover, linebacker Killum D Stroy
QBs with names like Rocket and Cannon.

This was like Madden 99
 


Good depth signing. He seemed to be solid in a rotation last year. They still need a top guy though.

Absolutely, I like McMillan. He like peppers were guys coming off ACLs.. he played more and more and made plays as the season went on.. he's an important piece going forward in the LB corps.

I like MacMillan and Peppers too. Both limited but solid.
 
I feel like he got more solid as the year went on, so hopefully he's got another gear in there a full season removed from the injury recovery. If they were to sign a guy like Edmunds, and use Raekwon rotationally with him and Bentley I think that's a real solid group.

Yes, we've always had those types of guys on defense.. I believe peppers resigns also especially with Dmac retired he can help fill a leadership role..

Yeah those guys were very athletic and having an ACL it's said it takes about 18 months to have 100% strength and mobility back.

Here's the thing.. is the team thinking because they spent in '21 that they don't have to in '23 ? Coach did say we were 27th in spending.. it's hard to gage what the teams mentality is towards FA..

Edmunds is looking to get paid.. he'd be great here! I believe we are going to sign a Veteran LB like a Kendricks or someone of that caliber..

I doubt we'll see a spending spree like we did in 2021 this year (or maybe ever again, that was a pretty specific circumstance), but they make periodic free agency splashes at regular intervals it seems. Think Rosevelt Colvin, Adalius Thomas, Stephon Gilmore, Darrelle Revis to a lesser extent, etc. So if they really like Edmunds, I could see them making him their big ticket name. Could also be a high end OT, or maybe if they do trade for Hopkins, that's their big "signing". But they're not averse to spending top of market for guys they like, they just don't make a yearly habit.
