Post Draft Free agency targets

[AnonEmouse]

1 yr $5M is a prove it deal, based on his 2018 pro bowl form. If he can't unseat Lucas he's trade bait as Chico said. If he can Lucas is trade bait. Won't get a bundle for either but...

And with 24 starts across 4 teams in 7 seasons, Lucas has hardly earned the right to complain about the press.

I believe the FO is taking advantage of the new cba which allows 46 active IF the extra players are OL, up to 8. Also with a 17 game season, and several OL guys "prone" to injury, Scherff - Moses are 2 notable ones, the extra bodies along the OL will prove to be one of the best moves of our off season.

Interesting. Yeah offenses really folded last year in Dallas, Philly and end of season with KC when Oline problems emerged.

Man that Oline room is gonna be large with these guys competing.

Bargain!

Washington signed LT Charles Leno, formerly of the Bears, to a one-year, $5 million contract.
Leno, shockingly cut by Chicago in April, could replace the role vacated by LT Trent Williams two years ago. The Football Team used its second round draft pick this year on T Sam Cosmi, who could compete with Leno for the Week 1 starting job protecting Ryan Fitzpatrick's blindside. Pro Football Focus rated Leno the league's 26th best tackle in 2020. Washington had the NFL's third best pass-blocking offensive line in 2020, according to PFF.

I don't blame him, we've been hearing parrot report after parrot report that he's mad we're bringing in competition and completely ignoring the fact that he played very well last year.

Yes, we've all wanted the "next Trent Williams" but our O-Line ranked very well last season, especially Lucas. They're the last posotion group to blame for offensive struggles last season.

Haha, Schefter getting mocked for plagiarism.

[vallin21]

Love the signing! Leno is an upgrade over Lucas.

[Monkeydad]

Leno will likely win the LT job.

Where should we put Cosmi? Moses has RT locked down. Lucas will be the top backup unless he beats Leno out. Maybe start him at guard?

I suggest we include Scherff in a deal for Aaron Rodgers and move Cosmi to guard.

You allow open competition and don't sweat it.
Our FO has watched the tape and knows our OL was a paper tiger, not as good as stats indicate, blown up by better teams. We beat ONE winning team last year, and though lots of reasons, OL a big one. If Cosmi comes in and shines he'll start, but if he doesn't, we have an option better than Lucas.

Stop with the ridiculousness about Rodgers, just like Watson, he isn't being traded, and if he is the cost is WAY more than we should pay. GB holds ALL the power, Rodgers can whine all he wants but he isn't getting traded. Regardless, you aren't moving an overpaid RG who can't stay healthy for a HOF QB, think GB wants to pay a freaking RG who is never healthy $18M long term? Dream on. You also don't move Cosmi, the long term answer at LT hopefully, to G. You keep Cosmi at LT and develop him into a starter. Jeez.

Hey, why don't we trade Scherff for Rodgers straight up, and move him to RG, and have Chase Young play LG, and move Cosmi to FS?

Hell yes they are. That is the way you build a team from its foundation. Otherwise it is just a house of cards. We have a pretty damn solid foundation.

The talking heads clip described Lokombo as playing the boundary halfback. Does that equate to what was mentioned earlier.

Call it what you want, we need someone who can play deep center or deep half in passing situations.

Hope so, but don't think so, in terms of deep center fielder. I'm not a big CFL guy, but LOT more space for DBs to cover, LOL, and I think the boundary halfback is like a slot DB close to line, but has more of a run support as well. Don't quote me on that. Does that mean bigger press CB? Not based on guys stats, he's like five foot ten or something?

But there is certainly room for a better 5th or 6th CB as well. Even if he's just a good slot corner. We have Jackson, Fuller, Juste, Moreland, and then a steep dropoff. If he is nothing more than a solid 6th CB, that is still essentially a free 5th round pick.

You factor in Reyes, the RB UDFA, Flowers, etc., it all starts to add up.

It would sucks for the Roughriders if Lokombo signs with us - a waste of 2nd round pick.

Actually 2nd overall pick. Definitely would suck for them.
