I think they want to get Smith at DE in FA along with a FA WR. They’ll grab another WR in the draft but it will be later on. Obviously if one they like falls…I could see it happening.
Switch S and DE for me, but pretty much.
I could also see LB instead of OT, with an OT coming from free agency. [Reply]

You can start him inside day 1 and get an instant impact while allowing Sneed to move outside, which they flirted with last year.
Long term, he could also be your replacement for Thornhill.
He would also be incredible value at 30.
Not gonna get me there.
I mean he wouldn't be a bad pick, but he's still just a safety and he ain't Derwin James.
I mean the top FA S on the market got 70% of what a perennial underachieving WR got. He made almost exactly what Ward made. It's clearly not as highly valued a position.
I just don't think he's even a 'regular' value there - he's...fine. He might be the BPA at that spot but he very easily could not be. [Reply]

You blitz him, rush the passer, cover the tight end. [Reply]

Maybe I’m being hyperbolic with “incredible”, but when we talk about “what if all ___ are gone” and we all say “somebody will fall”, in that scenario, if Hill is there, he’s probably that guy.
I mean, maybe it’s Wyatt, and if so that’s obviously better value, but I don’t see it. [Reply]

White and Reid over Niemann and Mathieu is a MASSIVE upgrade in athleticism.
And really, your heavy Nickel is going to bring Bolton off the field and man you have a lot of athleticism there w/ Gay and White.
Regarding an interior pass rusher, I think Rasheem Green is probably your best bet there. He's really an inside/outside sort of player who can line up where you need him. And like I said, I really kind of feel like Bilal Nicols could be a hell of a get, especially if he doesn't cost much more than Nnadi would. [Reply]
