Yeah. Hard to know if this was instead of Jones or in addition to.

 

But they need another one. Want another NT in case Jones gets hurt.

They need a couple more DTs for the roster not just incase someone gets hurt

Kind of have to be. We've got our Starters in Oliver and Daquan, but literally nothing else.

 

Don't know if Roach was something we were looking at before we signed Jones to start or as for depth. We'll def get at least 2-3 more guys there between FA and the Draft. Though it won't be anyone sexy.

Prob in addition to, since it was after DaQuan’s signing and a lot less money.  Beane looking to add DT depth.

I've yet to find a sexy DT.

Agree but they need numbers at DT so it could be in addition.  I just think we will be looking at lower priced guys from here on out.

I like the idea of signing DJ Reader to a one-year deal.  Seems like the perfect option

POUNDING THE TABLE FOR IT!!!!!! 

 

Someone's going to pay more for Reader than Jones or Roach and to start. He's one of the very top FA's remaining on the board. If we were signing Reader, we wouldn't have paid Jones what we did.

 

I'm guessing we were looking at Roach for rotational depth and when the price point hit 4m per, we were out. 2-3 is about the price tag we're probably looking at for the roles we're filling.

we have 4 de's (kingsly, miller, aje, groot) and 2 DTs (oliver, jones) on the entire roster.  we'll go with 8 or 9, i suspect 8.

 

we'll add like 4 or 5 guys via street FA guys and the draft.  i think we spend a top 4 round pick on a DT, maybe as high as 2nd, and then there will be a fight between who's left to prove to the FO that we should run with 9.

 

if we sign another reasonable DT, like the one mentioned above, i think it guarantees at least one trade up in the draft.  FS, WR, backup OT and interior OL, and any kind of super high RAS guy they like will be the draft picks.  could also see a DE get drafted if they have upside and play special teams.

 

if we don't sign another kinda starter level guy, then we will draft as many as 3 DL IMO.

I don’t think we’re going to spend like that on a DT after resigning daquan.  We shouldn’t invest that heavily in that position imo.  Never know though, we’re talking about Beane and the DL

The longer he’s out there, the lower his cost becomes.  I think they could get him on a one year deal for $4M

Would be nice.  I think he’ll get more

seems like they should be doing something drastic on the DL in my opinion.  Miller imo is done.  

 

I was hoping they would pull off something surprising on the line.  I just can't get the KC playoff game out of my head.  They got manhandled by KC.  I am hoping they land some guys in the draft who can help but that is always risky, most guys take time on the line except the elite pass rushers.

C’mon, not even one of those guys with their gut hanging over their waistline?

We absolutely need good players behind the five we have now. When you have zero great players, you’d better have a lot of good ones.

Good ones, yes. You can get good ones for rotation in the 2-3m range.

 

But someone like DJ Reader who is going to command big time starting money and demand a starting role with the team he signs to, delegating and paying Daquan Jones what we're paying him to be rotational? Not gonna happen.
