1. Cut all the enormous contracts on this team not performing. This has to be done with some timing though I don't think it should all be done on day one.
A. Shawn Springs
B. Marcus Washington
C. Cornelius Griffin
D. Reed Doughty
E. Phillip Daniels
F. Casey Rabach
G. Shawn Suisham
H. Jason Fabini
I. James Thrash
H. Let Golston and Kendall go

Well you probably can't and shouldn't cut all of them. But here are my thoughts: Springs-I'd love to keep him if possible; Griffin-if we get an interior DL then just let him go. He's given us four solid years but I don't know that he can give us five; Doughty-love the guy but there's no place for him here; Daniels-very underrated but a 35 year old coming off a torn ACL really can't add much value to us at this point; Washington-see Griffin; Golston-he's young, works hard, and is solid depth, keep him; Suisham-I'm telling you we'd all like to think he's gone but it's not a lock, not by a long shot; Rabach/Fabini/Kendall-we just can't afford to let them all go because we probably won't add enough pieces to the OL in one offseason. I think Fabini is gone though.

B. Resign Montgomery and Alexander for cheap salaries. This should be pretty easy.

I have a feeling keeping Montgomery may not be so easy, but in the end I think he stays. Alexander should be a lock

1. Sign Buccaneers personel man Bruce Allen as our GM, a team with a great track record of drafting lineman and getting quality skill players when he takes them early.
|
On the Allen bandwagon, I see. What quality skill players are you referring to? Michael Clayton? Maurice Stovall? Dexter Jackson?

2. Sign Stacy Andrews to take over at RT, he should be cheap coming off an injury and is a quality tackle. He can play at pro bowl levels, if he doesn't perform stephon heyer can take over and Jansen is a solid backup.

Not a bad pickup, but you probably have to decide before you even sign Andrews that Heyer or Jansen is gone

7. Key message, fill holes without breaking bank on massive contracts especialy guys like Gross or Peppers or Haynesworth. We have a track record of making these guys not live up to the money we give them. This seems reasonable to me and with the cuts we would have made we should have some decent money to spend. [QUOTE]
I see what you're saying and I can see the team heading in that direction, but I don't think our problem is that we need to find quality depth to fill holes so much as we need quality starters to allow the quality depth we currently have to go back to being quality depth, instead of being thrust into starter roles and be overmatched.

Draft:
1. Trade out of 13 pick to something in the 22 - 28 range. Try and get a third and sixth rounder in the process.
1. 1st round 26th pick - Peria Jerry DT.
2. 3rd round A - Eric Wood or Jonathon Luigs C.
3. 3rd Round B - Connor Barwin DE. If he's not there go G or DE.
4. 5th round A - Zach Fulton LB
5. 5th Round B - Pat White QB who probably won't be there but if he's not fill our roster out with needs on the oline and dline.
