How did everyone here make out in who they wanted, and did not want, from last year's FA and draft? And who are your picks for our team to get better this year?

I did like what Ireland did last off season with Wallace, Hartline, Gibson, Keller, Clabo, Ellerbe, Wheeler, Grimes, and Clemons, with mixed results.

I liked moving up for Jordan and the Taylor pick. Did not know enough on the other picks.

This year, I want Monroe or Callins, and not Albert. I want a VG CB, whether it's Grimes or Verner, etc. I want Joseph at DT and to keep Clemons. I want Asamoah and Deitrich-Smith. I want Blount at RB.

What I want from the draft depends on FA. My initial thoughts are BA DT in the first, BA OT in the second, and BPA after that.
 
yea, i have a hard time judging drafts right a way as I dont watch any college ball. I liked the Jordan pick at the time but only bc it seemed so great at the time! As far as FA's. was hoping we'd get albert last year. I hope we get him this year.

Oh and I used to work with Odell Beckham Sr. a few years ago. I hope we draft his son this year even though Ive never really seen him play
 
Last year I loved getting Keller and Grimes. Non-plussed about Wallace or Clabo. The LB's...I thought it was sensible to get younger for essentially the same money, but in hindsight Miami didn't get the same performance.

I thought Miami did well in the draft, though I wanted Eifert.

This year I want Mack and Veldheer, though both will be tough to come by. I'd love to get Ebron or Pryor in this draft.
 
I loved FA last year. Maybe over paid on some guys but that just what has to happen some times and probably will happen again this year. The only team that can underpay are the ones who have superbowl potential. I want a fan of the Jordan Pick but after they didnt go corner in the first Taylor was who i wanted in the second.

This year i want Monroe or Albert, Asamoah or Beadles. Grimes back, Clemons back, Starks back. Draft OL first too picks unless it had been figured out after the first followed by DT, RB. Then add OL depth and some solid special teams players.

For the record I liked Ireland when it came to FA but he really couldn't draft and so far im getting the Idea Hickey may be and ace in the draft from his scouting background but ill have to wait and see for FA but i like his targets so far.
 
I don't judge drafts till about 3 years later.. That being said I really like who we took, except Davis. I feel we could have kept that pick we traded up to get him and still had him in the 4th round. I was happy about cutting Dansby and Burnett, most overrated players to play here in a long time. I didn't want to spend the money we spent for free agents like we did, but it happened.

This year I don't want to see any top free agents signed. No fat Albert, no Monroe, if Collins is too pricey then no Collins, no Graham, basically no more high priced free agents because we are not 1 piece away from the super bowl. We'd become the Raiders. 2nd and 3rd tier free agents are the way to go and the rest we draft. i'd take Asamoah, Giacomini/Saffold, Grimes, Soliai, Jospesh, Shields and Clemons.

With the draft I don't want to see any receivers, quarterbacks, kickers, fullbacks, centers, or defensive ends taken or to me it'll automatically be a wasted pick as we have good guys under contract there already. Take a guard and or tackle early and bpa, within our needs, after that.
 
FA: Monroe OT and Asamoah OG, then depth at LB and OL
Resign: Grimes CB, Caroll CB, Starks DT and McKinney OT
Draft: Clinton-Dix FS 1st, Su'a Filo OG 2nd, McCullers DT 3rd, Fiedorowicz TE 4th, Hurst Ot 5th, West RB 6th and Santos K 7th
