I think you're bound for disappointment.
Veach has stressed building through the draft and Clark punted the former GM for not managing the cap well. I'd bet the directive to Brett was to clamp down on that shit. [Reply]

Also, Murphy was slated to miss the first four games after getting popped for a PED suspension in April, so it's possible he'll serve the suspension in 2018.
I thought you could go ahead and serve them even if injured? [Reply]
I’d look at the young guys who may have underperformed for whatever reason and hope You can turn them around
Well Ford is on a contract year, they played KPass and Eligwe at edge. So it’s a tough year to try and find edge guys for this team when Houston is on the other side. Galette is a band aid surely. Shaq Barrett is a guy I like but he’s a RFA [Reply]

They may not even look at an edge guy and play with what they’ve got for a year. I doubt it but it’s possible [Reply]

I think they have plenty of pieces in place to be able to forgo using a draft choice or a highly paid free agent and will push it off to 2019.
I would prefer they look at guys on the dl or ILB as the market seems better there but if they think they can make a guy like attachou into something, I’d be all for it. [Reply]

Clark also said personnel was the reason for the defensive struggles, thus keeping Sutton.
You aren’t going to improve this defense much with not only no first rd pick, but no pick in the first 50 picks of the draft.
The problem with Dorsey was bad financial analysis and decisions. The Tamba Hali contract might be the worst contract I’ve seen in years. He waited too long on Houston and especially Berry.
It’s okay to get FA’s but the structure of the deal needs to be set up properly. [Reply]

Yeah, all the dead money from stupid shit FA deals wasn't the major problem. [Reply]

Who knows how healthy Ford will be though. That’s a concern. KPass is sill very raw but I love his upside. I’d rather be at end than edge but that’s me. The healthy and improved secondary will help out a lot.

I agree. I threw out Galette because he won’t break the bank and upgrades over Zombo. Personally, I’d go for a guy like Joyner at FS and try Wilkerson or Richardson. To fit Joyner I’d cut Parker. But I’m also not opposed to playing this FA market by being frugal and spending next season. I still believe you can make upgrades now and not go too crazy in spending. [Reply]
