I think they need a penetrating three technique. A Geno Atkins-Aaron Donald type. I know those guys don't grow on trees, but that's what the defense is missing. I love Kyle, but he isn't that anymore. He's a nice rotational player who looks gassed at times. Harrison Phillips or Jordan Phillips....neither fits the bill. People have mentioned Sheldon Richardson in free agency and that's the kind of player this defense needs. Maybe that's Quinnen Williams or Ed Oliver. They also need more pass rush and improvement from Tremaine. I think there is a chance we go after Richardson. Our draft board is going to be, imo: Bosa Q. Williams, Ed Oliver, J. Simmons, Brown Josh Allen That's where the value is going to be in the draft. Forget about top ten wide receivers, guards and right tackles. Those will all be reaches we will regret. A defensive front seven player is probably our first pick. I think offensive lineman come in free agency.

I think we beat the Dolphins and spoil their playoff chances. I think we have a chance against the Lions. I think we match up well there. I am so curious how Allen will play against the Patriots. But I'm guessing we finish 5-11.

Josh Allen is my guy. Love the way he plays and is a very versatile piece on defense. I wish we could have Bosa, but it seems unlikely.

Agreed 100%. These games are all about learning and development of our quarterback and I think there is a lot to be learned about this loss. He's a one man wrecking crew and his teammates need to step up. Sure he made some mistakes, two very bad throws, but again he can learn from those. I'm not a tanking guy, but I have no problem losing competitive games down the stretch, where we wind up with better draft position.

They haven't put Taron Johnson on IR?

You know it's going to be a defensive tackle or Josh Allen. Id love to have Enron sure. What I don't want is a projection tight end that I pick in the top ten who is non existent for four years, so I reject his 5th year option and he goes on to a new team where he actually makes an impact. Id rather be the team who signs Fant in 4 years as a FA.

My problem with him is that he wasn't even the best tight end on his team. He's all projection, a guy like Eric Ebron. I can't see picking a tight end in the top ten, but makes sense in a trade down scenario.

I think Martin Nance takes that legendary status. Followed closely by Da'Rick Rogers.

I think the Jets will only hire a guy with previous head coaching experience and Marrone still has a positive reputation in terms of offense because he was Sean Payton's offensive coordinator that one time. I don't think his reputation has taken a hit at all because Bortles is the scapegoat. They will not hire another nice guy players' coach like Bowles. They will hire an ***** like Marrone.

Because they are cheap and they have Isaiah Wynn on IR. It's how they do things. They just don't pay very many people.

The Colts just randomly added Daurice Fountain onto their main roster from the practice squad. Maybe we were sniffing around. I still think we should add Troy Niklas as we are short on tight ends. Perhaps we can unlock some of that potential.

Love Lorax and want to resign him...but you know who the perfect replacement is? Josh Allen from Kentucky. Can play off the ball, on the ball, can line up as a defensive end in nickel defense. He's the perfect hybrid player for his defense. Not the athlete that Shaq Thompson was coming out, but he's a much better football player. First Josh Allen is working out. Might as well get the other one. Heck let's sign the backup center Josh Allen, formerly of the Bucs to corner the market on Josh Allens.

This hurts us because Lee sucks. He's soft.

I think they will have one of those mutual "parting of the ways" and I truly believe that they can spin everything to be Blake Bortles' fault. Marrone gets out of this thing clean in my opinion because his quarterback blows. I think the media and such see a good coach who has been let down by his ***** quarterback, who he did not draft btw.

Marrone is going to the Jets I think. I think he wants out of Jacksonville and wants to go be with his boy Mike Maccagnan. They Jets hired their coach and GM separately, which obviously is dumb. I believe that Marrone is the guy Mike Maccagnan wants to be his head coach. If Marrone isn't fired he will probably quit anyway to go to the Jets.

The guy is an ass.

Should have traded him at the deadline for Mitch Morse and Chris Conley ?

I think Conley has #1 upside. He's buried on the depth chart but still has 5 touchdowns and has had some big games. He's ready to break out. Humphries is a true 2/3 and would fill out a nice corps with Conley, Jones, Humphries and Foster. McKenzie to me is more of a gadget player, but he has his uses. I think this regime is done with diva recievers. Conley is a supremely hard worker, a humble and very intelligent guy who is a big, uber athlete. He's my guy. Humphries is just a solid player who moves chains in the vein of an Emanuel Sanders type. Ideally, I want both with Jones, Foster, McKenzie and who ever we draft.

I know many people want to upgrade here, but does everyone realize that Lorax is the 2 down SAM backer? Half the time, when we actually have three linebackers in the game we are in an under look where Lorax is playing on the line. The majority of his playing time comes as a pass rusher in the nickel. Yes it makes sense to get younger and more athletic, but we are not often in base 4-3 looks. Lorax has played very little off ball SAM this year.

For sure. He is playing exactly where he should which is as a 2 down SAM and a nickel pass rusher. He does a lot of very nice things for our defense and special teams. I know a lot of people aren't into intangible stuff, but teh leadership and mentoring he offers is worth every penny, and he can still play at a high level.

Here's what I got on offense. Obviously we won't get all of it, but these are my targets. Receiver - Chris Conley and Adam Humphries Center - Nick Easton or Mitch Morse Guard - Mark Glowinski or Quinton Spain or AJ Cann (Or trade for Forrest Lamp) RT - Daryl Williams or Josh Wells or Ju'Waun James Tight end: Jesse James or Tyler Kroft and Maxx Williams or Nick Boyle (either of these guys can also serve as a fullback if you wanted to cut DiMarco) Running Back: TJ Yeldon (perfect complimentary back and really good reciever) I'd say that pretty much fixes the offense. I also offer Matt Barkley a reasonable backup contract to be the long term #2 before he gets to UFA.

Kwon is a great player no doubt, but this team spends a lot of the time in nickel defense. We are barely in a base 4-3, which means that either Milano or Edmunds are heading to the bench a lot if Kwon was signed. I don't think that is where they go with their money. If you feel Alexander is a huge upgrade from Milano, then by all means it's a great move.

Hollister would be a nice piece as well. He's been hurt so much that ole Billy B. may just let him go for free. He hates guys who get injured.

I like Tyrell Williams but I am all in on Chris Conley. That's my guy and a perfect fit.

That works as well. I'm okay with it as long as it isn't in the top ten. I like Jonah but he better be elite if I'm drafting him that high. Honestly if we draft Jonah I would just stick him at right tackle, or flip Dawkins over there.
