I can see us having lots of flexibility and rotation on the D-Line and Secondary keeping guys fresh. This is another solid, solid signing.  SWEET-ASS offseason so far.  WR/TE/DE/DT/LB all that's really left. A  couple more signings and it's BPA all the way! Still think they need at least a developmental OT and a RB under 30 as well. Edited March 25, 2019 by Dr. Who 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 As we have seen...EJ Gaines fits this system perfectly  If its not too much because injury prone....a good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmarvB Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Glad to have him back. He was pretty solid for us. Just have to stay healthy. We're going to have a very good secondary Edited March 25, 2019 by BmarvB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 There is no unit on this team that is below average right now except QB and DL. We are in a perfect position to just go BPA. That said, I'd like a beast to replace Kyle and another OL as well as Lo's replacement and a good pass rusher, but we can just let it fall to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamkrgr Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I would go edge or dt at 9. Maybe we move back up into the first round to pick up a TE.  Christian Wilkins is a stud in this league imo. Oliver is another with a high ceiling. If by some luck Quinnen Williams drops...  Taking a TE at 9 is almost too risky for me. Hockenson or Fant would need to be the second coming of Kelce/Ertz for it to be worth it. That's a lot to ask of a TE.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
