GM TT REVIEW/OFFSEASON PACK FAS & DRAFT MOVES-WATCH

[Packnut]

FA

Yes, TT has some cash, but there are two problems. First, a lot of teams have lots of cash this year - gb is actually only in like the upper third or half of available cap space. Second, even if Ted has the cash, he can't conjure up a playmaker out of nowhere. Donte Stallworth? Well-traveled for a reason. Who is this great playmaker that TT is "obligated" to sign (according to some earlier posters)?

He does'nt have to sign 1 great player. Just a few above avg ones. I'm not on the Stallworth bandwagon either. I'd rather go after Curtis from St Louis. He ain't gonna break the bank cause he a #2 WR not #1. Go after Graham or Johnson at TE. The ONLY player I would throw some SERIOUS coin at would be Grant. He's the saftey we need and is a difference maker.

TOP HAT: GOOD POINTS. TODAY, SMITH BECAME FRANCHISHED. ST. LOUIS WILL PAY THE $$$$ TO KEEP CURTIS. STALLWORTH SAYS HE WANTS TO STAY WITH EAGLES.

Deon Grant? I know nothing of him. Is he a probowl caliber player?

He's a very good coverage saftey which would allow Collins to go back to where his comfort level is playing closer to the line. The key here is he fits our scheme and utilizing his talents will make him even better.

Quick thoughts

On the pole-Wish there was an option of i like him but i dont agree with the whole only build a team via draft, i think you need a steady stream of FA's too, but then again thats why hes the gm and im not

On partials coment that CJ is over rated-I really dont belive he is, i mean its not like its just his mesurables are amazing, he plays amazing i mean even in the bowl game he pulled off like 140 yards? agains VT. But the thing that sticks out to me the most is his attitude, hes not some TO Randy wana be, hes the real deal, speed size talent attitude, he really sounds like a good kid, only wish we could get him

On Recivers over Running Backs in the draft- Before the offseason came i was really hoping for marshawn lynch, but taking a further look into our reciving core and our needs and such, i hope we take a WR, i dont know why but my gut feeling keeps telling me Sid Rice. Also BallHawk maybe u can answer this one, but Would Lorenzo Booker be a canadate for our Running Scheme, we could get him in 4-5 round and hes really fast and hes can catch extremly well. But in the end i wouldnt be mad if Reggie Nelson fell to us, i mean this guy is a beast. So for the first round would like in this order 1. Reggie nelson 2. Sidney Rice 3. Marshawn Lynch

'Cause he isn't a millionare yet. He is still king of the campus and probably pops a fresh poonaner daily.

Great points; I hope TT decides to fill a few gaps before the draft as well.

I do think Stallworth would make a very good compliment to Driver and Jennings; but he is often injured.

I REALLY hope TT grabs a TE early in free agency. I'm not convinced any TE is overwhelming this year in the draft so I really hope to address the lack of talent there early.

At #16 he'll go for the best available player...but.....maybe taking need into account.......he may go best available to RB, WR, and S.

So that could boil down to Reggie Nelson, Landry, Lynch, and a very good WR out of a very deep class of WR's.

I'd also LOVE to see TT address the safety issue before the draft as well.

Then, if TT rates the WR's similar to Lynch, he could work some magic by trading down and adding a 2nd and then still grabbing a very talented WR like Rice, Bowe, or Meecham late in round one.

With several positions to upgrade, I'd completely agree we don't need to hit a home run. But there are a ton of positions that need improving on this team. I hope TT utilizes both free agency and the draft to address the missing pieces of the puzzle.

With the lack of strength IMO at Tight End, it should be of the utmost importance to address this quickly.

Get er down TT

FA is Fool's Gold.

Would you sign Stallworth for $6-7M/year? Those two WRs, Bennett and Stallworth, are going to be extremely overpaid. Both would help, but I'm not sure it would be the right thing to do for the price it's likely going to take.

AHMAN GREEN: COLOR HIM GONE?

Time to move forward at running back. by Matt Tevsh Scout.com

The Green Bay Packers should think running back either in free agency, or early on Day 1 of the NFL draft, and move on without Ahman Green.


TOP HAT: ANALYSTS AGREE ABOUT PACK'S CRUCIAL NEEDS AVAILABLE IN FAS AND DRAFT, ESPECIALLY WR, RB, TE, & S. IT'S GONNA BE INTERESTING COMPARING THE RESULTS TO 2006 WITH WOODSON AND PICKETT IN FA AND HAWK, JENNINGS, DC, MOLL, ETC. IN DRAFT.

If Stallworth is 6-7 per year and Bennett commands 4-5 per year I'd pass and focus on drafting a WR high in April.

Anyone would have been an improvement over Sherman... I took a wait and see approach at TT's arrival.

Still have a wait and see approach... It'll take more than one good draft in a row to win me over - and then there is the matter of letting Wahle walk, punting Walker, drafting Rodgers, and the weak offensive and defensive schemes.

Wait and see...

[MJZiggy]

Is TT really responsible for the offensive and defensive schemes or does that responsibility fall under the authority of the head coach?

[Zool]

Who hires the coach?
