26CornerBlitz Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Don't know if anyone has suggested this yet but what about trying to add Nick Fairly if they can get a few million from Glenn and Gilmore extensions? He has been more of a 4-3 guy but is coming off probably his best year. He was an ultra talented prospect coming out. If you could get him for say 2 years $10M with $6M guaranteed what would your thoughts be? I am just throwing this out there because it was a little scary looking at that front 7 depth chart the other day. Adding another talented player takes a little pressure off of them. They will still need to draft 2 front 7 players in the first few rounds I think. Fairley met with the Patriots a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea of the draft helping us is we aquire talent for cheap while giving our free agent money to guys like TT, GIlmore, and Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) why do that in a year where starting DL talent looks like its running 3 rounds deep? The whole idea of the draft helping us is we aquire talent for cheap while giving our free agent money to guys like TT, GIlmore, and Glenn Because right now our starting front 7 is: KW, MD, Corbin Bryant, Lawson, Steward, Brown, and Hughes. If you could add someone like Darron Lee at 19 (as an example) and bump Bryant and Steward or Lawson to reserve players you are much better. They could do something like Lee (LB), Shepard (WR), Fackrell (EDGE) and now be in a much better place. If you extend both Glenn and Gilmore you have the room to do Fairley on the deal that I proposed. Then come back in the 5th or 6th and try to get DJ Reader (NT). Your front 7 is much improved from where they are today in that scenario Edited March 24, 2016 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Reader will be one of Buffalo's 4th round picks--call it a gut feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Fairley met with the Patriots a few days ago. I'm hearing they might be signing Nate Washington, not sure if it's definite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your front 7 is much improved from where they are today in that scenario I guess it really is a matter of opinion We could take a guy like Lee......take one of these really good DL coming out.....and go a multiple of ways in the 3rd round (I would go OT) We have NINE Wide Receivers on this roster right now....and brought in a big blocking WR for a workout yesterday...... If we need to draft a speed WR I bet there will someone available in the 4th round Then you have a guy like Fairly....who played well in a contract year.....and we want to give him that coin? Id rather just role it over. We extended meatball.....they have been bringing along Corbin Bryant and he appears to be getting better year by year. I like DJ Reader also Edited March 24, 2016 by John from Hemet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front 7 is thin. In my scenario you have Shepard as your #2 WR, Fairley & Lee starting with Reader playing some running downs. Steward / Tarpley become depth and Fackrell can either be used situationally or send Lawson to depth. That draft and signing isn't that crazy IMO and I think that the team would be in a much better place with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie DL can make an impact in RR D and there are a lot of them so you can get the BPA and fill a need there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 @RapSheet Kinda quietly, the #Saints have had a really nice offseason. Tough cap situation, but they're doing work -- Laurinaitis, Fleener, Fairley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
