[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 757281, member: 2846"] The job is still open, and I have yet to hear I am NOT being considered, so I am gearing up. Here are my plans so far: Free Agents Resign Burnnett (don’t think this will happen or it already would be done) House – we need more bodies Dial - a year of offseason to see what he can do Rodgers – we don’t have a lot of other options at TE External OLB Shaquill Barrett. Not sure Denver can resign him. I expect them to put 2nd round tender on him. I would pay it if Barrett isn’t demanding too much money. I do not expect this to happen - someone will break the bank for him. WR – Allen Robinson Was amazing early in his career and after the 2nd season looked like a sensation. Injuries have plagued him since, so this is a big risk and he will probably resign on a prove it deal. I think we may lure him with an incentive laden deal – he might as well prove ‘it’ with a great QB helping him. Doesn't work I move on to Moncrief. DRAFT 1.14 We want Arden key OLB – I know what you are thinking, he will be gone in the first 5 picks. I don’t think so. I think he carries a lot of risk, but is worth it at this point. He had 2 injuries, shoulder and knee that cost him games last season. He also had some off field issues as well. Add to that, he up and left the team last year, which has never been explained. One more thing, he had some weight issues last season. Normally, I would pass on this guy for those reasons, but I also understand that he really loves football and has newly dedicated himself to it. I don’t think it is just for the big payday, but there is a lot of risk with this pick. I think it is 50/50 he will be here. So, we are on the clock and Key is gone so we are eyeballing Clellin Ferrell or Josh Jackson with the pick. Buffalo calls and wants to trade up to get in front of Ravens and Cardinals. Both of whom have a need for a QB. 4 QBs are already gone and the last elite prospect (still higher ranked than Trubisky) is left. In the end we trade with the Ravens who offer up a third to move up 2 spots. Buffalo was offering their 1st, 2nd and a 5th, but we can still get our guy at 16 so we play it safe and trade with Ravens. So the pick is . . . 1.16 CB Josh Jackson. It’s a bad year for CB so desperate teams may draft him early, but I think he will be there. We can pair someone with King from last season, then we may be set for some time. Would rather add to the pass rush, but Jackson will be a very good player. Trade up Give up 2.13, 3.35 and 5.13 2.01 ILB/OLB Rashaan Evans – Alabama – we need to get more athletic/fast at LB. Evans can play OLB and ILB. Would try him first alongside Martinez – I think it would be a great combination that compliments each other. 2.13 Traded [would have taken WR Equanimous St. Brown] 3.12 OLB Marcel Fraizer – change of position coach seemed to set him back this year. Started playing better towards the end of the season despite high expectations going into the season. 3.19 [from Ravens] TE Dalton Shultz – Stanford – Can do it all, and is a pretty good blocker. Was in a run focused defense, so he doesn’t have much for numbers. Compensatory 3.35 [traded] 4.14 CB Jaylen Dunlap – Illinois – Solid physical type CB. Great in press coverage. Seemed to play better against better WRs. 5.13 Trade Compensatory 5.34 CB Michael Joseph – Dubuque – I know, 3rd time going to the well, but we need some fresh blood there. Joseph is boom or bust. Played very well against inferior competition. Will need to add 10 lbs of muscle to handle the NFL beating. There are about 20 CBs in the Dunlap – Joseph range. We have to take our shots and hope at least one pans out. Compensatory 5.35 C/G Scott Queesenberry – UCLA – Decent athlete should do well. Packers like OL guys who are flexible. Queese should be dependable and could develop. Compensatory 5.37 QB Kurt Benkert - Virginia - Good arm and accuarcy. Not much of an athlete, but then Tom Brady isn't either. I don't think Hundley left many people with a lot of confidence, but we will see what he has next year. Packers trade up giving up their 6th and 7th round picks 6.2 NT Daylon Mack – Texas A&M - Big man with some athletic skills. Should have stayed in school another year. We need some depth behind Clark so we don’t overplay him. [/QUOTE]
