Kirby Jackson Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I thought about trying to put together a realistic starting 22 for next year. This factors in free agency and the draft. In addition, I am using a 4-3 & 3WR set for this exercise. I would love feedback and thoughts from you guys as to what you like or what you'd do differently. Please try to remain realistic (ie EJ will be starting it looks like).

ny33 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 If Slauson comes at a reasonable price, I'd sign him. He's an average starter, which is about what you can expect from a mid-priced free agent starter. I'd also take a serious look at Hakeem Nicks, who might be the big receiver we need. If that's the case, I'd want to draft Eric Ebron, giving us a T.E. who can slot out wide, or trade down a few picks and pick up Amaro/Austin Sefarian-Jenkins. With the second round pick, I'd draft a L.B. like A.J. Johnson. Alternatively, I would take Mack/Mosley at 9 and pick up a right tackle/guard, assuming none of the three tight ends have slipped, in the second. If there's a stud R.B. in the third/fourth, take him. If Byrd gets tagged and traded for a second, I can live with that. I get the sense that he doesn't want to be here, which unfortunately may drive down his trade value. Of course, if there's a QB that the scouting team really likes, you have to take him. Competition will only drive E.J. to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agardin Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Seeing your starting 22, does this team make the playoffs, in other words is this team 4 wins better. I think it could but it will come down to EJ improving and making the skill guys more productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

....lybob Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Like some of your moves I'd make some slightly more radical moves including an offense often in 2 to 4 TE's sets (6 TE's on roster), run oriented,very fast paced subbing in Goodwin and Graham QB- EJ RB - Spiller LT - Glenn LG - Slauson (FA from Chi) C- Wood RG - Urbik RT - Austin Howard ( FA jets) TE - Jace Amaro (1a) TE- A Seferian-Jenkins (1b) TE- Scott Chandler WR- Goodwin DE - Mario Williams DE - Dareus DT - Kyle Williams DT- Paul Soliai OLB - Lawson MLB - Andrew Jackson (4th round) OLB - KIko CB - Gilmore CB - McKelvin SS - Aaron Williams FS - Byrd (resigned) Passing situation substitution - Dareus moves to DT replacing Soliai and Jerry Hughes to DE , Robey replaces Andrew Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten into the draft yet, but I am willing to bet we fill the guard and even RT spots with draft picks. Maybe a trade down and get a RT in bottom of 1st and a guard in the 3rd round. I also think Byrd is gone, and would insert Searcy in the starting lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin ! how do you figure Hairston is servicable or even in the league at this point Not sure if Hairston will be in the league or not. It is certainly an optimistic thought. I was trying to stay as realistic as possible. I am assuming they draft a tackle in the 3rd or 4th in my scenario but I am not sure that he will start day 1. In addition, I expect Pears to remain on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 A 4 T.E. set? No. What positions do you skimp on to have 6 T.E.s on the roster? Most of them would have to be competent special teams players. Skimping on WRs, 4 at most (one TE will take over FB duties as an H-Back) fast smurf type - the idea being a very fast paced no huddle offense, very run orientated rapidly alternating between 4 6'5+ 250lbs+ guys with decent speed who can catch and block, and subbing 1-3 super fast smurf WRs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that you chose Benjamin over Evans for your drafted WR. I'm a huge Benjamin believer and not completely sold on Evans. Especially for where it seems like we'd have to draft him (high 1st). I also think if Hairston can come back healthy, he has played well when he's been in. The only one I'd disagree with is Pitta. The injury he had scares me. He is a good TE, but he spends a lot of time in the trenches where knees can get rolled. I actually like Chandler. Do I like his drops sometimes? No. But he also makes some incredibly tough catches. I'd also like to take a TE in the draft somewhere. Good post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
