We're going to need more $$ than that to re-sign Soliai, but I think Clemons for 2/6 might be within the realm of possibility and would be a good signing.

I like the Kuhn idea and I think it's a very real possibility. I believe it was Rotoworld who reported that the Packers would only want to re-sign him for the veteran minimum, and it was reported that Philbin really wanted Vonta Leach last offseason.

Kuhn would be a perfect fit for this team. After all those signings and the draft it would still leave ~15 million in cap space. So Solia's contract could be 15 instead of 12.

I think adding Monroe, Martin, and Niklas wll really help out the OL. Niklas is a very good run blocker and a good pass blocker. He could stay in at times and help Clabo. And I think Monroe is the best tackle this off-season and think Martin is the best guard available this off-season.

he's gonna be a day 3 pick forsure. I think a combo of Sankey/ Williams/ Kuhn/ Miller would make a good backfield. With Sankey starting, Williams would fill on short yardage and Kuhn would play 3rd downs. Miller could be a change of pace back.

I really want us to take Zack Martin at #19. I think he has All-Pro Potential

i like it also...other than your 4th round pick who i dont have a read on yet i like that draft of yours very much...and zach martin i'm all in on that one...he dominated today turned people in the run game...same thing he did on tape...run the card up

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

I actually think Niklas will be gone by our second round pick. Perhaps I am stupid, but I think there is going to be a run on these big, athletic TEs early. They're just too valuable as mismatch weapons.

possible...but not a lot of body of work...something should be there if thats the route we want to go worth the pick

Watch Martin LT #70 and Niklas TE #85. Martin can play LT but is better suited at guard due to short arms.

I would take Martin over any guard in the past 2 drafts..

Cut Moore? No way!

Sankey is good, but I'd prefer a more physical back - not that he doesn't run hard. He does. I just don't see a guy who is going to get tough yards at the next level. In the Stanford games, he put up good numbers, but he didn't drive piles or consistently break tackles. I get that Williams is meant to pick up that slack with his physicality, but I'd prefer to have my lead back be physical. I like Sankey better as a change of pace guy.

The mock is solid - just a different approach than I'd take.
