I'm ok with not blowing our load on a couple expensive free agents and instead focusing on guys that are the right fit for this team while continuing to build through the draft. J-Rob worked in the Patriots organization for a long time, he knows simply throwing around money hardly ever works.

Sign another vet at WR, add some depth along the OL, bring in another CB obviously, and sure up our pass rush depth as insurance if Dodd has another injury.

Look at CB, ILB, WR, and TE in the draft with our first 4 picks.

A guy I'd like to see us go after is Kenny Stills off of the Dolphins. He isn't and elite guy but he would add needed deep threat to our offense. Matthews, Sharpe, and Stills would be a decent group of guys for Marcus.

Other then that I'd like to see us grab a vet CB for some depth and re-sign Spain, Kline, and Klug to some reasonable deals. It might also be time to start thinking about getting Lewan paid seeing as he is closing in on his 5th year option.

Unless Stills is gonna be a #1 or #2 WR here, why would he come here? And why would we pay him a lot of money to play maybe 30-40% of the snaps. We play fewer 3 and 4 wr sets than most teams. So unless he's a #1 or #2, Id pass. If we just want some speed, we can easily draft that and develop it ourselves.

Realistically we probably need 2 cb's and a S to really sure up the secondary. A stud ILB to play next to Williamson would really pay dividends. If we stick with this style of offense, a #1 type big wr and or another awesome TE would give us what the Pats used to have in Gronk and Hernandez that almost no one could stop.

Hayden has not played well this year (same with Gilmore) and they will want to be paid like Pro Bowlers! No thanks!

Campbell is an excellent player but will want to be paid and is towards the end of his career getting on the wrong side of 30 for a huge 300lb guy. This is the kind of guy (short of Cards keeping him) who may price himself out of the market only to take a 'earn it' deal in NEw England to try and win a ring.

Players to watch
WR
Pryor

OG
Zeitler
Leary

TE
Bennett (would be a nightmarish pairing with Walker)

DT
Short
Poe

ILB
Collins

CB
Trumaine Johnson

S
Berry
Jefferson

First real question is what are we doing at OG with Kline and Spain. Upgrade or keep? That's where Zeitler and Leary are in the conversation. From there I'd move to defense unless the Browns simply don't want Pryor and he's not gonna get $12mil/yr.

But really, our biggest weakness has been our secondary. Trumaine Johnson and Eric Berry are probably as good as we are going to get with paid additions but they'd probably cost a combined $25mil/yr.

Collins is another option as he's BIG and can do everything from run fills to tackling to covering well in man or zone and rushing the passer as a standup OLB or as an ILB blitzing. His sometimes lacadasical effort is bothersome but he has the skills and ability to be as good as any LB. Plus, he'd give up depth at OLB if Rak or Morgan went down if we needed his pass rush.

One way to go would be to keep the better of Kline or Spain, add Leary and then go get Berry and Johnson if your willing to spend for maximum upgrade in the secondary.

To me Hayden issue is more the "team" he's on, his talent vs his production... I get he hasn't played well but I also think a change will fix alot of that. Campbell may be older but he's still got a few years left and fits what we do, opposite Casey... Not a fan of Pryor at all. The Chiefs aren't gonna let Berry go IMO.

As far as Berry and Johnson, I couldn't even fathom us getting both. If we got either one I'd be ecstatic. If we could sure up a couple major holes in free agency, it would be amazing for JRob to have that type of freedom going into the draft.

I don't know why but Stephon Gilmore seems like a Titan. Hopefully he wouldn't get burnt like one. I'd take Haden in a heartbeat for reasonable price, he would look so good in coverage compared to the crap we're used to looking at.

Calais Campbell and Joe Hayden. Both would fit nicely. Then draft Tabor/King and Corey Davis... just sayin.
