So who are the SPECIAL players to rush the passe

Yea.. We need to bring in AT LEAST 2 big DE's.. Whether one is via FA and the other in the 1st round in the draft, just because ONE of those moves happens, doesn't eliminate the need for the other move to happen as well..

The oft injured Morgan is the ONLY DE on the roster right now.. We need to add 2 names (Perry & Mathis) and hopefully re-sign Jones.. Or ONE of Ball/Hayes as a body to have.. And then round out the rest via camp invites or something..

 

I'd be interested in taking an early DE and DT, as well as a later 5-7 rnd DE also.

1 DE
2 DT
3 C
4 S
Comp LB
5 DE
6 G
7 WR/cb/de
Make sure we have multiple bodies.

 

Looking at last year draft, It could be possible to take multiple defensive ends like we took tackles this past year. I really hope we pick up some lineman via free agents, so we could have a solid defensive draft. With DE, DT, S address in the first 3 rounds no particular order.

 

Mercilus has upside. He's a risky pick. I've watched this guy a ton, and he always seemed small and slow. However, he's put on 10lbs pure muscle and looked fluid in drills. Id still like to see him improve a ton with pass rush moves.

I still think he's an early 2nd.

 

I like the idea of going D-line 1 and 2. But if we manage to land a Starting DE in FA there are a couple of decent looking 4th-5th round guys like M.Jackson or J.Bequette.
Also Couples,Ingram and Perry all look awesome.

 

I really like what I'm hearing from you guys

FA
DE-Freeny/Mathis type
OL

Turn Finny into S? (This might actually work really well)

Draft
DE
DT- Apparently there is a ton of dpeth this year at DT.

OL
S
DE
WR

 

Yes. More specifically a FA OC. Allowing Amano to move to his true position guard, thus filling two major holes.

No. Finny is going to want atleast ~8M, you don't pay safeties that type of money. Finny could be a solid S, but he's not going to accept a paycut and a position change.

Yes please, but I think safety is our 2nd biggest need. Hopefully our draft goes: DE - S - DT - CB/OG. There is only 4 safties IMO worth a 2nd: Barron, Harrison Smith, Markelle Martin, and George Iloka.

 

I'll take that line up too if yea DT have that huge of a depth.

 

I've bought into Nick Perry in a major way. A 270+ guy with a decent array of pass rush moves (who happens to run a sub 4.7) is amazing to me. This dude just screams 1st round pick to me. It would also continue a trend that we started last season of grabbing 3-4 players even though we are a 4-3 defense
