We’re a ILB, RT and CB addition short of what I would call a great off-season. Think any of these may be addressed before camp?

Would love to see at least one more move. Don’ta Hightower or Erik Fisher would bring a lot of value.
 
ILB we have Jack, Bush, Spillaine, Allen, UG3, Buddy, and Robinson (7) not adding here
RT we have Chukes, Leglue, and Haeg. Perhaps a LT?
CB we have Sutton, Witherspoon, Wallace, Layne, Norwood, Maulet, & Pierre as vets 4 outside, 2 slots and Sutton who can play both. Sure we can upgrade, but good here depth wise.

Vet RB? That will push Snell (lack of production) or McFarland (Health Concern) off the roster, the others are UDRFAs. I see a move happening here. Wanted Sony, but he gone...

Layne and Pierre are almost exclusively ST material and I hope neither sees the field on D
 
I think Moore will improve. I would like some competition at RT. But doubt they go putting the job up for grabs route. So prefer a vet who can handle both sides and is run blocking capable.

OLber would get my call before ILber. Just could use another pass rush capable guy to rotate in.

RB I would replace McFarland with a vet.

NT I would bring in a vet capable of pushing Alu.

CB I would bring in a vet -starting capable corner. Keep the best STer perhaps and give the other one his walking papers. Pierre or Layne...


This might be more than some would do. But I am all about solidifying potential weakness.

I think that if Moore fails their plan is moving Chuks to LT and insert Haeg or Leglue at RT. They are probably bringing another vet after cuts

Regarding NT they have a proven yet rehabbing vet in Alualu and they are counting on Adams to be the heir apparent. He has some pedigree being a mid round pick after all.

Ah well I don't see Adams as the heir apparent. But I could see if they thought that why they wouldn't address the position. You thought he showed well enough last season to take on that title huh?

I think we gotta add Kazee to the Nickel CB room, which is great for depth and flexibility. Then you have Spoon, Wallace and Sutton as outside CBs

I think there is potential there, for a 2 down exclusively player. If he puts on the work he could become a keisel kind of guy, I really do.

True he is position flexible thanks for the reminder.👊
 
I would guess they are not done and have money.

Another G if Dotson continues to trend down.

Maybe a CB1?

As for RT. Watch out for UNC’s Jordan Tucker, no reason to flame me now, wait til camp! If I am wrong so be it, but I think he is gonna push Chunks, might not beat him out, but may be a huge undrafted surprise. Would still be open to vet upgrade.
 
well, we are signing guys who are ****** players, but these are good signings.

I see no scenario where moving Chuks to LT for Moore is better in any way. Moore, as a rookie, was still better than Chuks at LT in his 4th year. If they aren't happy with the T position, in general, I can see them looking for a castoff during the preseason like they normally do. The same will pretty much go for all thin positions. The bad thing we have seen with that is the FA player usually isn't fully up to speed until several games into the season.
 
I hope for OT but think they feel well satisfied in that regards. I actually think they are only looking if injury occurs.

Maybe the NEW GM will actually have a say in the matter, whomever that may be.
