[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 768667"] With no movement on Matthews' contract, if there was ever any intention of doing so, bolstering the edge looks more like a draft consideration with each passing day. There is no cap for an impact player at this juncture without cutting somebody. Even then that would be the ultimate "win now" move given that the cap picture for 2019 isn't looking very good either and that would take another significant bite out of it with the kind of multi-year contract an impact player would get. Having Matthews on the roster at this price suggests more 3-4 hybrid sets such as the 4-3 under the Packers were using more in the last couple of years. So far, there's no indication that's changing with no place for Matthews in a 4-3. With Graham, it's not so much a shift of WR to TE as a shift from a different kind of receiver. I don't think you're going to see Graham in-line very much, and when you do you won't get much in the way of blocking out of him. Old dogs and new tricks don't mix. You're going to see Graham in the slot and wide a disproportionate amount of the time. They're trying to recreate the Finley affect but with a guy declining in speed. Coverage speed at ILB is needed if Jones is heading to SS full time. I think the more reasonable expectation would be Brice at SS, assuming he's healthy, and Jones moving around at coverage ILB and dime safety. Jones is going to have up his football IQ to play that ILB role which is pretty demanding in terms of play recognition. [/QUOTE]
