Like it or not Tanny, Shu, Branch, Kiko, etc. aren’t going anywhere this year. James is the interesting choice here IMHO.
FO has shown a tendency to plug holes with low cost FAs prior to draft so we aren’t forced to draft for needs.
That leaves us we what we need and how we deal with those needs.
Many would point to our inability to cover TEs and/or get off the field on third and long. Can’t argue. Kiko is currently the WILL but maybe Stephon can sub in on passing downs. We get McMillian back to play MIKE and Kiko can sub in there. Who do we have at SAM if Timmons is gone? Chase Allen? This screams for a FA solution even if we draft one. Dollars are short which means a wise choice is paramount.
We have two SSs and we get burnt by TEs and third and longs. Time we admit we need a decent FS. Same dollars/draft/FA as above applies.
We need another RB. Some want a short yardage thumper. I want a Drake clone so we don’t transmit intentions. There are many draft solutions but FA RBs are especially cheap.
We need a TE or two but the draft is weak there as is the FA market. Also notice we never feature them much. Think that needs to change if we wish to be competitive.
Then we have places where too many dollars have been allocated and changes should be made to balance financial side of the game.
Maybe the FO thinks we are set on o-line with Tunsil, Larsen, Pouncey, Davis, and Young/James?
So, what do you guys suggest we do in free agency and the draft? Try to be realistic and refrain from trade Tanny/Landry stuff as well as trades downs/ups in draft.
