So, given this is the fun season...Lets say we sign 6 impact FAs with our soon-to-be 100m in cap space. Realistically fitting under that, which 6 do you sign that turns the team into a contender? You win any competition between you and any other NFL team that wants to sign them.
At the same time, Id suggest no competent franchise just sticks with their plan. Plans are for guidance, not a hard set of rules. If a guy shows hes excelling you should probably change your plan. Almost every young successful coach started under a more experience coach, in a junior role. In...
Id suggest that he is the de-facto most important offseason acquisition, no matter what we do. No idea if hes going to be any good, but the offense has Jayden as a floor, the defense has wet sand.
So it seems to me they are treating FA much like they did last year. Maybe a few less of the extreme leaders like Wagner and Ertz, but 1-2 impact guys and then fill a lot of holes and fill depth. Seems to fit with the desire to then build the positions long term with the draft.
Do we assume we trade out of the 1st, dropping down say, 10 spots, to grab another pick or two? Obviously if you think theres one clear star there you take him, but otherwise?
Considering Osborn has 2000 yards in only 4 years, I would assume they feel good about him being the #5 guy with potential for more. If we draft a WR and keep 5 I also assume hes the first guy cut.
