We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

I don't know if it works out.
Just not any good options out there where it's easy. Hitting on draft picks quickly is ideal.
Yeah I’m for this. I think the plan is likely to get the safety position covered and have a stop gap at CB (again) then attack it in the draft next year when it isn’t such a shallow well of talent. [Reply]

I just think of it as throws at the dart board. I’d rather have two seconds than one first all day everyday. [Reply]

You're not wrong; however it's also the only real way to effectively re-stock your team. You just have to develop guys at a high rate. You can't guy buy guys in free agency all the time, not in the cap era and not when you're going to have to pay the best QB in all of football.
Green Bay hasn't been wrong in their approach; they've been wrong in their coaching and development. [Reply]

Yeah, for sure. You've got to draft and develop cheap talent.
But people overrate picks a lot. Like you said earlier, if you can get 2/3 starters from a draft, you're doing pretty well. [Reply]
Shrags said a big move is coming whether that be trading up in the draft or signing a big time player on the last year of his contract. Veach has a plan [Reply]

depends on talent groupings.
For instance; in most of our mocks, we end up drafting Adderley at #29. Now; Thornhill, for instance is almost the same player; and might be better based on his experience against superior opponents. But he's ranked lower and could be had a round later.
The 2nd tier corners are all bunched pretty close in their ceilings; and any one of 5 guys could be real good #2 corners with a possibility of being #1's. They spread out due to scheme fit all the way into probably round 3.
2nd tier DE's will all be gone before round 3. Some speed rush specialist types might make round 3 but only because they're going to be 3-4 fits only, which doesn't really help us. Gustin would be a late #1 or early #2 except for his long injury history and is worth taking a late round flyer on just in case he's been unlucky.
So depending on which group you're targeting, you can get comparable talent by moving down. OR you may need to move UP. [Reply]

I'm sure he's right. Veach has been very aggressive with the roster at every level. [Reply]
