[QUOTE="pizzle, post: 726040, member: 12428"] A different look at how the off-season could have went besides Option 2. Option 2 is what we stand at right now w/ FA & the draft. My Option 1: FA: We start off by bringing back Julius. 2 years 10 million. He retires a Packer. With at least 1 SB ring. Nuff said, for now... We let Datone walk. We bring back Jayrone at the same rate we did, but we also LET NICK WALK. He has shown to not be an elite, Top 3-5 EDGE rusher, so why pay him like one when the only thing he does really, really good is set the edge in the run game? Letting some other team give him a huge contract ends up being the cost-cutting move that we make this off-season. BTW, this move maybe allows us to decide to be more aggressive in getting closer to what the Lions threw at T.J. Lang to get him to go to Detroit. We sign Connor Barwin or Elvis Dumervil. Same deal as JP. Now, we have replaced Datone w/ a more decorated vet that's proven he can get sacks. Upgrade. More on that later... Everything else in the off-season goes as status quo (The TEs, House, etc.)... DRAFT: We trade out of the 1st, but instead of King we draft Jordan Willis. He steps in right away at starting LOLB. He is a stud, a rich man's Nick Perry with similar strength but 4.53 40 yard frickin' SPEED! WE NEED SPEED TO GET TO THE DAMN QB! Instead of VB as the 1st pick in Rd 4, we draft CB Damontae Kazee out of San Diego State. Good man corner who also can play zone. Will push for the starting field corner spot/prolly still moves Randall to the slot with House as the starting boundary/Gunter being the top perimeter backup corner. Instead of Mays w/ our first 7th-round pick, we get OLB Keion Adams out of Western Michigan. More speed to get to the damn QB... Every other pick is status quo. 5 defensive guys, 5 offensive guys. Edge rushers that can contribute now and be impactful guys later. More balanced draft, and less pressure on each player given the circumstances (I think our draft looks bad if a) King is not a Day 1 starter at corner and b) Vince Biegel ends up being essentially medically redshirted/not doing much this year) at hand. So now, our OLB depth chart is as follows: LOLB-1) Willis 2) Peppers 3) Gilbert ROLB-1) Elliot 2) Barwin/Elvis 3) Fackrell. Keion is stashed on the P-Squad and developed. Clay can now be restructured/extended to match his play (or lack thereof) over the past few seasons and moved inside permanently. Connor/Elvis and Julius can be used as the subpackage interior pass rushers/have their snap counts be monitored to keep them fresh and highly productive. Willis just needs to set the edge well in the run game consistently and everything else he will learn from the vets. Elliot gets to show his worth, Fackrell can continue to develop/be a core ST guy along with Jayrone. We now have the juice/athleticism/diversity in the LB core to have a 45-50 sack defense. So, the question is, Option 1-or Option 2? And if it is Option 1-then WTF is up with Ted?!?!? Because we could have easily had Option 1. It wouldn't have been that different from Option 2 nor that hard to pull off. [/QUOTE]
