2017 Free Agent PFF rankings

Compton is what he is, solid LB, we can still use him but add more MLB talent.

Solid is a pretty big stretch there

he's not that bad man....

he's not that bad man....

I wouldn't mind him as a backup. I just don't think he has the athleticism to be dominant at the mike.

To me he is average, just another guy who starts who really wouldnt start anywhere else

Good list of free agents, but pff is so fucking dumb. Way to much time on someones hands to do all that. They should try watching an actual game and getting outta the laboratory.

tape doesn't lie

Here are a few nuggets I picked up from the list:

- Pierre Garcon is the top-rated FA WR with a grade of 85.8.

- Chris Baker is the #3 ranked DL with an 82.2 rating. Only Calais Campbell at 90.4 and Kawann Short at 87.7 were rated higher.

- There are nine safeties with grades above 80.0. Their grades range from 81.6 to 88.6. All of them are UFA's.

I feel strongly that we must make every effort to re-sign Pierre Garcon. He does it all for this team and he is as tough as nails.

Chris Baker is all about effort and production. He doesn't take off plays. My fantasy off-season scenario is for us to re-sign Chris and sign Calais Campbell as FA's and then to draft a DL stud in the first round.

There is an unusually large group of solid FA safeties this year. We need to sign one of them.

That would be a great start to the offseason. I am not big on spending big dollars in FA, but the deficiencies in DL and Safety positions in our starting line up has been the #1 reason we are not taking the next step. It is foolish to think we can improve to the next level by Draft alone and signing other teams FA cast offs. We have to complete the foundation building of our lines and defense. Then strictly use the draft to finish out the roster. We have two big salaries at WR that need to moved or lowered by extending and ton of depth at that position. That does not make sense to have so much depth and two really high salary guys at that position. I really like DJax but his high salary needs to go so we can better complete our team. It is time to get serious about our defense and O line. Finish the foundation.
If we signed Calais Cambell and a legit FA Free Safety, that would give us the flexibility to use our 1st round pick on a BPA that might be a great starting guard or center. We might become a run team and be able to stop the run. Imagine that....

Compton takes a lot of bad angles, because he doesn't react fast enough or is just slow to the ball. He's fine as a backup, just can't be a starter on a decent defense.

Baker is good, maybe alot of this depends on what DC they bring in and which direction he wants to go with the defense.

good point on Baker and the DC. However, I think he expects $10+ million and is not worth it.

I think they can do better than Compton.... even as a back up

That hurts to read, but once we take off the "homer" glasses, that's about what my head saw, reagrdless of what my heart tried to turn it into. Junk is junk.

Will Compton was ranked lower than even I thought, but PFF doesn't lie!

I was surprised that Cullen Jenkins was rated higher then CT though. Maybe that was the homer in me, thinking that CT actually produced some this year.

The rest of those guys...sorry to say it, but they just took up space and it was evident.

this is why i don't like PFF . . . CT was a beast . . . great yards per carry . . . great blocking . . . great pass catching . . . why is that a 66 grade?
