This Offseason - BE THE OWNER!!!!!

[Mechanix544]

Okay, I'll give this a dry run.

First off, the draft. Lets first of all get rid of this #4 pick, and get us some more picks.

Our Number 4 pick plus ARE, for......Arizonas 26th pick, Steve Breaston and a 3rd Rounder.
Maybe a stretch, but some could say that is fair. okay, draft either Bulaga from Iowa or Campbell from USC. Both could step in as first year starters and would be a major upgrade. Lets say Samuels doesn't retire......BAMMO, your tackles are taken care of, Pro Bowler and an athletic rookie to fit nicely into Shannys zone blocking scheme.

Next, with our second round pick, lets go down to TCU, and grab a BIG, but deceivingly FAST guard Newhouse. Im wagering that if he is as fast as scouts think he is, his stock value might rise and he wont be here for us to snag, but here is to hoping. He also steps right in to start. Our third rounder, well, I say you gotta get Pike here. I've been saying this since the middle of the college season. This kid is John Elway plus three inches. Give this guy to Shanny, let him ride the pine and carry the clipboard under JC for just one year, put him in in a couple games here and there this year, and then let him start in 2011, given we even have a season. He could be a Hall of Famer, given the right coach. Shanny had Elway from early on, now he gets Pike from the absolute START!!! I smell a SUPER BOWL sometime in our future!!!!!!!

Defense - Keep our Line intact as it is. a 4-3 with Carter, Golston, hayney, and Osackpo.

LB - SIGN MERRIMAN!!!! With the line we have, he is the type of LB that would benefit from guys like we have up front. His fire will be reignited, plus, I dont think San Diego is going to offer him squat compared to what he was making there previously. In swoops Dan Snyder for the pick off. Offer Merriman a little more than the other bidders, and Solidify our second line of defense, literally. Merriman, Fletcher, McIntosh. You got your LB's.

Secondary - Dunta Robinson from the Texans. Get rid of Rogers. Keep Laron Landry, and then get his brother from the Ravens and you got your secondary.

Give Breaston the number 1 WR slot over Moss, move Moss to numer 2, and thomas slides into the slot.

Portis gets one more season with Shanny to redeem himself and hopefully get back to form with those 5+ ypc averages he had in those seasons in Denver. Hoping for alot, but in the end, I think its doable.

So, how'd I do????

wait what?

I'm with the first part.. but I think that if Samuels comes back we honestly need to cut him or rely on him as a backup only. I'd hate to be the guy that played someone knowing what might happen

don't know anything about him since I don't follow much college ball

we don't have a 3rd (jarmon supplemental draft pick)

that's a lot of FA moves.. dawan is an RFA with supposedly a pretty solid tender, so the ravens probably hold onto him, apparently the jets are interested in him if they get rid of rhodes.. merriman might be a solid move.. i doubt that the trade that you mentioned happens.. doubt that we get dunta, he said he wants to stay with houston even if they franchise him again

Portis gets one more season with Shanny to redeem himself and hopefully get back to form with those 5+ ypc averages he had in those seasons in Denver. Hoping for alot, but in the end, I think its doable.

i'm fine with that

So, how'd I do????

interestingly, not bad suggestions just can't see a lot of them happening
