Roster Review: Front 7 Defense

[Chico23231]

Alright fellas…fuck the name, fuck the uniform, and fuck the QB talk (for now)…let’s start to dive into the rest of the roster with free agency right around the corner.

Let’s start at defense Front 7 first because it’s less complicated but yet intriguing in especially one particular position.

D-Line starters back: Chase, Montez, Payne, Allen, Matty-I. Rotational, Bench: Shaka Toney JS-W, Toohill. Tim Settle is a free agent and a nice rotational piece. You bring him back? It’s gonna cost a pretty penny. Depending on what we think of Payne and Matty I who I believe both in last years of deals next year, that’s crucial in the Settle decision.

Linebackers: Starters: Holcomb and Davis. Rotational, Bench: Hudson, Mayo. Boston is a free agent and should be done.

DLine is solid with depth. Settle is the question and he is a good rotational piece especially against the run. I think you let him test the market. Don’t see a lot of movement here.

Linebackers…Ron has said Davis is an OLB and not a middle linebacker, Cole is built more for the outside, which leaves a massive hole at MLB. At eleven in the draft there are two outstanding prospects with Devin Lloyd from Utah and N. Dean from Georgia. I heard Keim say for the first time yesterday MLB could be an option in the first. Free agency is not great, but De’Vondre Campbell was an all pro last year for the Pack. I would be hesitant as he is a bit of a one year wonder and blew up as a 3-4 ILB. Another scenario would be 2 possible cut issues, Bobby Wagner in Seattle or Blake Martinez in New York. Giants cap position (Got Gettleman’ed) is horrific and Wagner would provide a lot of cap relief if they decide to move on from the 32 year old. I would be down for both.

Middle Linebacker is a position we need to get right on defense much like QB on offense. Any moves in free agency or the draft you like? Settle staying…then is Matty I or Payne going? I like our roster on the Dline mix with depth and Starters, but I’d pass on Settle getting a big deal. My preference at MLB would be to get an experienced general like Wagner or Martinez.
