Haha, its all good man. The Amerson comment is just a tidbit I heard some scouts say; he could still be a CB.
The defensive side of the ball is going to be interesting in terms of FA and the draft. Just take a quick look of the starters;
DE--Carriker, Jenkins
DT--Cofield, Neild(?), Baker(?)** [Don't see us keeping 2 NTs, one who's healthy, one who's coming off a torn ACL.]
DE--Bowen
OLB--Kerrigan, Rob Jackson(?)**
ILB--Riley, Robinson
ILB--Fletcher(?), Lorenzo**
OLB--Orakpo**
CB--Wilson, Crawford, C. Griffin**(?)
FS--Gomes(?)
SS--Doughty, Meriweather (?), Bernstein (?)
CB--Minnifield(?)
** means FA to be
(?) are the questionable guys
I didn't include Hall, I think he's gone. Meriweathers on a 2 year deal but he's coming off a torn ACL, so he can't be counted on. Cedric Griffin was ok for us this year, but he can easily be upgraded. Bernstein blew up his knee not even into the first game of last year and was a 7th rounder, so he'll probably be cut. Gomes played less this year, he can be upgraded, and he was a liability at times in coverage. Minnifield didn't even play this year, but you all expect big things from him next year.
Fletcher may retire. Rob Jackson is a FA who had some big games for us down the stretch this year, does he return as a backup or starter, should we try to trade Orakpo for picks and get another Pass Rusher high in the draft. Lorenzo is a FA, but he and the redskins want to work out a deal he said.
The only question really on the DL is if we keep both Neild who is coming off a torn ACL and Baker who played some solid snaps for us this year, but isn't the pass rush threat that Neild is. I didn't even bother with Golston and Worthington and all the other backup DE's. They were bad, so I can see us drafting a couple of DEs and maybe getting a FA there.
My solution
Priority 1 get Jarius Byrd. He's franchised,
Priority 2 get Goldson from San Fran (not likely to be franchised twice)
FS is solved. (You draft Swearinger from South Carolina or Amerson from NC State for depth)
SS draft it
Priority 3 is Brent Grimes the CB from Atlanta. (Draft a CB high and a CB/returner low, Honey Badger comes to mind)
Priority 4 is a pass rush threat that can be either a 3-4 OLB or 3-4 DE, like a Margus Hunt, in the draft, FA wise though I'd go after a Jason Jones of Seattle as a 3-4 DE, or a Phillip Wheeler of Oakland as a 3-4 OLB (He was a DE in college)
