The Case For...

[The Goat]

Well first off a stud RT @ 13 is the easy answer... Monroe or Jason Smith are my top picks but any of the top four should be starters.

... the interesting case though is Suggs. Basically i see it this way: SLB is going to be a need because Marcus and the FO seem to have mutually agreed to part ways. So we have to address a need and it's an opportunity to add a playmaker within the front seven at the same time. I don't have a problem w/ big Albert if we had the money to address the need @ SLB and sign another big FA... but regardless I think Suggs will make a bigger impact than haynesworth. Suggs is a monster tackler and a guy who can rush the QB whenever the call comes in, and just from listening to him you get the idea he loves the game. Haynesworth IMO will not perform at a high level when he gets his payday... he'll take more downs off and struggle to stay motivated. I also don't think his potential would be maximized in our system where the DTs always appear to plug gaps and mash the run before pushing toward the QB... i could easily be wrong here but that's what I think i see.

Jonathan Vilma MLB:
He is a natural MLB but he is athletic enough to play OLB(Replacing M.Washington). After a year or possibly two, we can move him back to MLB to replace Fletcher.

He won't brake the bank and is only 25 or 26 years old. He has a legal matter pending but it still think he is worth the risk.

He will be cheaper than Suggs and I think he fits our system better than Suggs.

Very Nice 53! Guys like Mack is what makes the offense flow. Clear lanes for the QB to see and for RB's to explode through. We need to be looking at these type of guys. We also have to keep in mind that one of our WO's might develop in 2009 if this happens we could be looking at a post season.

But it wont happen without pass protection.

It's not too late to get on the Mack train! I keep watching that video and picture the opposite team as Dallas.

This is a great year to draft an OT, but I'm leaning towards passing on one of the big four (or five, depending on your point of view) and going after either Vernon Carey or Khalif Barnes in free agency.

Barnes is probably more talented overall, but he has lots of question marks in terms of his maturity. I'd probably lean toward Carey. He can play almost all positions along the line, he hasn't missed a game in four or five years, he's only 27-28 years old. I understand that's not exactly young, but compared to what we have he's a baby.

I think if we can sign either one of them, it gives us some flexibility to trade down and not worry so much about getting an elite OT, but we could still get someone like a Britton or Duke Robinson later in the first to help our line out.

I would be happy with Duke Robinson.* I just really want the modern day Jacoby type player back in OT. If we could match Duke up with a stud OT we would dominate!

This.

Grab a very solid offensive lineman in free agency, just not one of the top end ones because they will be too expensive.

After that we can draft an o lineman in the first. I say trade down a bit and get this Mack guy that everyone around here seems to love.

That adds two very solid pieces to the oline and that makes us much better overall IMO.

Everyone seems to have this idea of trading down in the draft. Has there been any talk on which teams might want to trade up? Id like to trade down also but i haven't heard anything solid as of where that would be or who with.

as far as Haynesworth goes; I think he really wants to stay in Tennesse - ala Brett Farve/GB, the pro bowl interview i saw he really had a hard time distancing himself. If a player only leaves due to money, he's not gonna be the same player at the next place. He gushed over his family and their place in Tennessee.
