2016 Free Agency Targets

EmDiggy needs a lobotomy in that case

 

Highly unlikely we draft Ramsey if we stay at #1. No defensive back has ever been selected before pick 3. It's possible we could trade back and take him, and I'd be fine with that. But the No. 1 pick will either be Bosa, Tunsil, or a qb, regardless if we trade out or not.

 

Almost 99.42375 percent sure we trade out IF we sign a vet OT in FA. Even if you dont get much we will trade out and get the player we want and gain a little extra.

 

Again, easier said then done. Hard to trade back and "get the player we want" when the player we need is the best player in the draft (Ramsey). IMO, there's 4 "elite" players in this draft: Ramsey, Tunsil, Myles Jack, & Bosa (#5 was Jaylon Smith before injury). Assuming there will be a QB in the Top-5, that means we can't trade past the Top-5 to land one of these elite guys. Do you really want to trade back just for the sake of trading back "even if we don't get much"? I'd rather just stay put at #1 and take Ramsey, unless we can trade back in the 2-5 range.

Free agent NT Terrance Knighton hasn't heard from the Redskins since the end of the season.

"I haven’t got any hint that maybe they want me back or anything," Knighton said. "I haven’t heard anything. I understand it’s a business. [But] I’m not really understanding the whole [reason why] a guy like myself and what I bring to a team, and what I bring to the field, [is] bouncing around like this. But it will catch up with itself." Knighton received solid marks for his run defense in his lone season with the Redskins, but the team seems to be aiming higher at the nose.

I mentioned this in the offseason thread

Browns C Alex Mack exercised his opt-out clause, voiding the final three years of his contract, and is now a free agent.

As expected. Mack waited until the franchise-tag deadline passed and is now back on the market after signing a five-year, $42 million offer sheet with the Jaguars in April 2014 only to see the Browns match it. Look for the Jaguars to be back in on Mack, who's still just 30 years old. Returning to the Browns isn't out of the picture, but Mack is now one of the top free agents available.

Mack would be huge, imagine a line of Tunsil, Warkack, Mack, Poutasi (or other), Lewan. Not bad!

 

Absolutely 100%! And I get why people like the idea of Tunsil, fix the line and protect MM8. Sure, I get behind that idea, in theory. However, he gets hurt every year and misses games. Why is there any reason to think that won't continue against tougher competition in the NFL. Who's going to protect MM8 when Tunsil gets put on IR? Picking him just scares me too much, I don't care how good a player is if their on the sideline injured.

Take the safe, freak athlete who's versatile and can play two positions that are holes on this roster. Not only that, but let Dick work with the kid while he's still a coach on this team. You take Ramsey, and if they don't, I think it'll be a mistake. Polomalu in his prime? Sign me the @*$+ up!
