Not a good thread for the lounge yet, still some season to go but thought it would be an interesting idea here.
Yeah, we have the draft and free agency but one place you can make some hay is trading picks for guys on other teams obviously. But more directly, from teams that have decided to blow up the coaching staff and front office and make system changes. So guys that maybe don't necessarily fit the new style of defense or what not.
It looks like the Cardinals and the Jets are going full on meltdown rebuild. The 9ers may fire their DC and make some changes there.
Who is everyone looking at in these situations, player wise?
One big name for me from the Jets would be Leonard Williams. High pick that's maybe underwhelmed a bit that would be a great fit here. [Reply]
Eric Rowe
Shane Ray
Morris Claiborne
Justin Coleman
Darqueze Dennard
Pierre Desir
Ronald Darby
Markus Golden
Earl Thomas
Tyrann Matheiu
Haha Clinton-Dix
Landon Collins
Carl Davis
Jihad Ward
Christian Covington
Darius Philon [Reply]

I’d rather trade it for a defensive player if I were doing it thoigh
Top 5 what? Green isn’t a top 5 receiver anymore
Draft picks are critical with this team because so many guys are paid highly and are going to be paid even more in the near future (Hill/Jones/Mahomes) [Reply]

When he’s healthy, yeah
They do have a lot of highly paid guys, hence it’s time to start moving away from some [Reply]

Even worse. A 2nd round pick that could very well be a 4-8 year starter on defense for a 1 year rental of a WR who is past his prime, expensive, and starting to get hurt? No way man. [Reply]

It’s a chance to add an elite player on a one year deal during pats rookie deal [Reply]
