who's next?

Plenty of quality DBs on the market still. Chris Gamble, Brent Grimes, DeAngelo Hall (yes, I like the guy, I just think he played out of system in Washington), Quentin Jammer, Kerry Rhodes, Adrian Wilson....Aquib Talib, Antione Winfield... guys who can be a one or two year stop gap on the cheap because the market is so overloaded.

I'd love to see us sign another CB and be able to focus attention on DE/OT in the early draft and then take a mid round stab at Tyrann Mathieu. Really don't care if the kid has a weed history, he plays fast on game day.

Also Hall is Cutler Kryptonite. 4 pics 1 game.
 
The thing that would worry me about DHB would be the drops. We already have Pettigrew for that. But his speed with Calvin and Reggie would cause nightmares for defenses.
 
We got too much too quick. We need another free agent so I can get excited again..What DE or LT out there, or CB?

Top DE poised to hit the Market. Elvis Dumervil, probably too expensive though. Scheduled to make $12 and the Broncos want him to take a pay cut. Hopefully they lowball him. I think it would take at least $8-9 so he's out of our league. Pipe dream.

Would love Dumervil. Liked that guy since his days at Louisville...
 
At least with Bush and Quin it probably takes 2 positions out of the early round equation. A CB would be sweet as hell, then we can go DE or LT.

Were kind of painted into a corner at LT now. I don't want Fox or Hilliard anywhere near Stafford's blindside and with Reiff you don't even talk about moving a future LT to guard (maybe RT to LT) so it looks like that ship has sailed. Throwing 700 times a year I think you can do nothing but grab a protector in round 1.

Maybe with an improved OL we can get Staff down to about 550 passes a season.

So I just learned that Dumervil's middle name is Kool. Mayhew's gotta find a way to get it done.

we still need a safety. no one except LKP actually thinks Carey or Spievey are quality starters.

True but its not as much of a need, IMO. And who knows, maybe Delmas comes back. For cheap, I wouldn't mind..
