If I recall PFF too as for his pass defense. But he's a beast as to stopping the run and IMO we need that. Yeah, but i mean in previous years. He's a young guy who has had to learn a lot of systems. Opposing TEs have called him good in previous years so I wonder if he can improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Next move could be to confirm DRC at slot and bring some OL depth in. RB and DL in the draft maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fine with them bringing him back though. Foster is better in coverage. We need him to stay healthy. I'm not going to push this too much but I woudnt mind seeing Vigil instead of Foster. He looked like he belonged, especially with that game sealing int that was called back, those were instincts. Foster is good too and I want us to draft an ilb but our depth here is improving.

dswerdlw Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Brown was the best available ILB left in free agency. Behind Foster, our ILBs are not that good. So, even if we draft an ILB, we still needed one in free agency. And even if we overpaid a little, we needed Brown. Deal had to get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbias Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Per overthecap.com without including the Richardson and Brown deals we have ~$28M in cap space. We'll need ~$7M for the rookie contracts, so we might be getting close to the ceiling. Then again we can always restructure some deals, but it's probably important to know when you are getting close to the end of big spending.

carex Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 here's hoping Pryor signs a high enough deal to get us a fourth. I think I want the Skins to look for a LG in free agency, and DL in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add that bringing back someone who's already done well in the uniform is good for the locker room. Let's players know this isn't just a stepping stone to a contract elsewhere.

ShredSkins Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 If the Giants end up with Barkley the 3 other teams in the division will have dominant running games. That to me makes Browns skillset more valuable here. He was the only FA we could have lost that would make me give up on 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Doug Williams just said they were going to fix the RB situation. Almost exact quote. So, that gives me comfort they will do something, either FA or high draft pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilco_holland Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 We needed to do something. That is true. Either sign Brown or a different starter. Can't go into the draft with a hole in your starting line up. That force your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Lets get Bowman too. why the hell not since those RBs will be getting past the front 3/4 unless we get Payne or Vea but Vea is climbing the mock boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine Browns is not much over 6mil. No cap issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's anyone left in FA that would qualify as a "fix", so as most of us hoped/suspected we'll probably target the best guy in the 2nd. Of course we felt that way last year as well and watched teams steal Cook and Mixon from in front of us (if I remember correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hot on Jensen That would blow our draft right open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we came out of this draft without a defensive player in first 2 rounds I'd be pissed. With that, projects can be hd in rounds 4-5 for interior OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug’s been pretty consistent on the theme they need a better RB. Said at the combine we averaged 1.6 rushing (I think he was exaggerating), and then unprompted he brought it up today at when he was introducing Alex Smith. So my guess is they have a guy and they’re going to go get him somehow. Of course, it could be smoke or or might not work. But he’s been consistent on it... I also think last year they were more confident that Kelley could do more. I guess they aren’t as confident anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpig Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Wow, can't believe they got Brown back Not a bad contract either, dude was ALL over the field last year. Now maybe 1 more signing of 5-7 mil or two solid fill in players for that cash and we are spent outside of restructures. (correct me if I am wrong) That's huge though getting that ILB in there. Just need 1 RB, 1 WR, (Albert Wilson please) 1 LG, 1 DT, 1 CB. 3 of those 5 we can get in the draft. (maybe more) Kind of feeling decent about this. Till week 5 or so anyway.
