Defense Injection

[ibleedgreen1990]

Wentz is gone and we have to focus on the future. Hopefully the players dont have a rebuild mentality and still play with some tenacity. If thats the case I think we can be competitive in our division even next year (it stinks). If you saw the post, Fulgham and Reagor said they are not worried about the offense AT ALL. So lets take their word for it and get some playmakers on defense!

 

Trades:

Zach Ertz to the Seahawks for a 4th

Derek Barnett to the Jets for a 4th

 

Cuts:

Alshon Jeffery

Malik Jackson

 

Restructure:

Fletcher Cox

Brandin Graham

Lane Johnson

 

Retire:

Jason Kelce

 

Re-Sign:

Alex Singleton - LB

Cameron Johnston - P

Boston Scott - RB

Greg Ward - WR

Jordan Howard - RB

 

Position Changes:

Isaac Seumalu moves to C to compete to start

Genard Avery to LB

 

Free Agency:

Malik Hooker - S

Jacoby Brissett - QB

Mo Alie-Cox - TE

Nick Martin - C

Draft:

I could see a trade back with either the Pats or even the Vikings if they want to groom someone behind Captain Kirk (you like that?!). We pick up an extra second and fourth this year and a future pick.

1. Micah Parsons - OLB - Yep first time in however many years. I can hear it now lmao. He is a top talent in the draft, we gotta go BPA

2. Jaycee Horn/Asante Samuel Jr - CB - Would love either of them. Prefer Horn myself

2. Ifeati Melifonwu - CB - Get some studs at CB that hopefully make Slay tradeable

3. Tylan Wallace - WR - People might not like waiting this long but we hired a supposed wr guru and already invested a ton at the position. Wallace is a beast.

3. Ar'Darius Washington - S - Stud at safety and will take over for McCloud when we move on

4. Baron Browning - ILB - Good tackler and LB Depth

4. Zion Johnson - G - Competes at guard/Depth

5. Josh Kaindoh - DE - This dude is Sweat 2.0, been wanting him since my early mocks

5. Mustafa Johnson - DT - Depth at DT and competes for snaps

6.  Michael Menet - C - Competes to start at Center

7. Josh Pederson - TE - lololol Yeah, I just did that

Well, it’s indeed a defense heavy draft.

Even if they do trade down, I still can’t see them going LB with their first but Parsons likely will be BPA in that area.

Horn will not make it out of the top 20. Let alone out of the first round entirely.

With an offensive minded HC in place, I’d be stunned if we go this D heavy in the draft but it would nonetheless improve the unit really well.

The value chart has #6 getting better value than that.
