Fair points on the Moses 1 year deal. I guess I was just pleasantly suprised by Quincy Williams, Mosely is a beast, and curious to give our young players we drafted last year Nasirideen and Sherwood how they do.

On offense our offensive line could become dominate with Linderbaum holding down the middle, and if Mekhi returns healthy [big IF]. DJ Chark is a very under-rated WR that would give some nice depth heading into the draft, if Jameson Williams falls we should trade up to grab him, which would quickly bring exceptional depth to our WR group. TE gets a complete overhaul as needed. I think this roster would be very competitive.

Plenty of solid options out there regarding Free Agency. With a few signs, could really improve some holes. We still have $29M in cap space [prior to signing draft picks], and could create another $5M by releasing LG Alex Lewis [likely after drafting AVT and signing OG Dan Feeney from Chargers]. Grabbing Nelson, Ingram, Turner, and Westbrook would immediately make our pass rush a strength, and our corner depth pretty strong with great competition, and if Westbrook can return to full health give us one of the deeper WR groups we have had in years. Players to Sign: 1. CB Steven Nelson [3 Year Deal] - only 28 years old, should make priority to sign, was a cap casualty for the Steelers, but a top 15 CB in the league and would immediately become our best corner. 2. EDGE Melvin Ingram [2 Year Deal] - another older guy at 32, but still can get after the QB and would add to a nice rotation of pass rushers for Saleh. 3. OL Trai Turner [1 Year Deal] - another younger FA at 28 years old, can play center or guard, provides depth, replace Alex Lewis at a cheaper cost. 4. WR Dede Westbrook [1 Year Deal] - a young promising player at 27, coming off a major leg injury in early 2020, should be able to get him relatively cheap given health uncertainty. 5. QB Nick Mullens [1 Year Deal] - knows the system comes from San Fran, should be cheap, potentially add another vet if available but provides some depth. Projected Depth Chart: QB - Zack Wilson, Mullens, Morgan RB - Coleman, Carter, Johnson, Adams WR1 - Corey Davis, Keenen Cole, Josh Doctson WR 2 - Denzel Mimms, Dede Westbrook, Vincent Smith WR 3 / Slot - Crowder, Moore, Berrios TE - Herndon, Griffen, Kroft LT - Becton, Edoga LG - AVT, Turner C - McGovern, Feeney RG - Van Roten, Clark RT - Fant, Edoga DE - Carl Lawson, Kyle Phillips DT - Sheldon Rankins, Fatukaski, Marshall DT - Quinnen Williams, Franklin-Myers, Sheppard DE - Melvin Ingram, Curry, Huff OLB - Cashman, Jermien Sherwood MLB - Mosley OLB - Jarrad Davis, Hamsah Nasirildeen CB 1 - Steven Nelson, Bless Austin, Jason Pinnock CB 2 - Bryce Hall, Justin Hardee, Corey Ballentin CB 3 / Nickle - Michael Carter, Brandon Echols SS - Lamarcus Joyner, Ashtyn Davis FS - Marcus Maye, Hampton

Resign: - FS Marcus Maye [4 Years] - CB Brian Poole [3 Years] - ILB Neville Hewitt [3 Years] Free Agency: - OG Joe Thuney [4 Years] - WR Kenny Golladay [4 Years] - CB William Jackson [3 Years] - EDGE Melvin Ingram [3 Years] - CB Dontae Johnson [1 Year, 49er FA] - DE Kerry Hyder [1 Year, 49er FA] Trade: Number 2nd Pick to Carolina Panthers for 8th Pick + 2021 2nd Round Pick + 2022 1st Round Pick [Provided Enough Draft Capital to Draft Up for QB if Darnold Not Our Guy] Draft: 1a.

Resign: WR Breshad Perriman [1-Year Deal] SS Bradley McDougal [1-Year Deal] ILB Neville Hewitt [2-Year Deal] CB Brian Poole [3-Year Deal] OLB Jordan Jenkins [3-Year Deal] FS Marcus Maye [4-Year Deal] Trade: QB Sam Darnold to Atlanta Falcons for 2021 3rd Round Pick Free Agency: WR Allen Robinson [4-Year Deal] CB William Jackson [3-Year Deal] OG Joe Thuney [4-Year Deal] OLB / Edge Matthew Judon [3-Year Deal] Draft: 1. QB Trevor Lawrence 1. CB Jaycee Horn 2. RB Travis Etienne 3. OLB / Edge Carlos Bashman 3. NT / DT Tedarrel Slaton 3. WR Tylan Wallace 4. CB Rodarius Williams 5. TE Tre McKitty 5. WR Reggie Roberson 6. OLB / Edge Joshua Kaindoh Thoughts: Still would have potential holes in terms of pass rush, but this would solidify our offensive line, secondary, skilled offensive weapons, and give Lawrence a nice group of WR's to throw [Robinson, Mims, Perrimen, and Crowder]. I think it will all come down to coaching - but if we get Thuney, I think we could have top 5 offensive line unit in NFL.

FA Additional Moves: - CB Brandon Carr - Edge Markus Golden - Edge Jabaal Sheard - WR Taylor Gabriel Draft: 1. OT Andrew Thomas - Georgia 2. WR Justin Jefferson - LSU 3. CB Jeff Gladney - TCU 3.

Here is my ideal scenario. Granted this does not include signing typical back-ups - but highlighted what I thought was key players. Suggestions - thoughts - I am sure I will have some who hate it. Resign: - CB B. Poole > 4 Years - OLB Jordan Jenkins > 3 Years - OT K. Beachum > 2 Years - WR Demaryius Thomas > 1 Year Trade: - 2020 6th Round Pick, 2021 7th Round Pick to Eagles for WR Alshon Jeffery Release: - CB T. Johnson - OG B. Winters - CB D. Roberts Free Agency [Projected $75M Available in Cap] : - OG Joe Thuney > 5 Years - OT Jack Conklin > 4 Years - OLB Markus Golden > 3 Years - CB Jimmy Smith > 2 Years - CB Bradley Robey > 1 Year Draft: 1. OT Tristan Wirfs 2. OLB Bradley Anae 3a. WR Brandon Aiyuk 3b. OC Loyld Cushenberry 4. CB Lavert Hill 5. WR Marquez Callaway 6. RB Darynton Evans 7. OLB DJ Wonnum I think the biggest area for improvement after this offseason would be lack of an elite true #1 corner. I think Roby has upside if he can stay healthy & out of trouble - Jimmy Smith if healthy is a reliable #2 corner. Our offensive line would instantly become arguably top 12 in the league - our pass rush would see a much improved upgrade in depth - replace Robby with younger & cheaper deep threats while adding a serious red zone target in AJ from the Eagles. I think Joe Douglas will build in the trenched in his first draft. As much as it would be exciting to see him take a guy like Jeudy - I just see him going pass protection or pass rush in the first two rounds. I really want to see what our offense would look like with a talented offensive line - I think we may be pleasantly surprised.
