WFT Free Agency

Gibson already took over the show so that doesn't matter, although it sucks that we wasted a 4th round pick.

Our current FO seems much less inclined to take injury risks, except really late rounds.

Eh who cares, it was worth the gamble in the 4th

Not when we had drafted a RB in the 2d already.

You don't draft solely based on need, you draft based on who you think has the highest chance of succeeding as a long term quality player in the NFL.

Given the percentages of third day draft picks that actually pan out I don't have a problem with the selection. If his injuries had healed properly he had the talent to succeed.

KJ Wright ... he wanted a 2 yr deal w the Boys and they wanted 1 yr .. they couldnt agree, cant find anything on money.

If we could get him for 2 yrs/14/7 guar .. I think he could be the rug to tie the whole thing together. A leader, decent at coverage and LOS, winner .. hopefully he doesnt turn into a DJ Swearinger where it just to much vocal

I don't see how Wright would turn into Swearinger - he was awesome leader at Seattle so I'm not sure where this comparison came from?

I don't think we are going to sign any FA players until after the draft. I wouldn't oppose to the idea of signing Wright though, he is not fast as he was in the past but he has the smarts.

Just gut, random internet fan talk out loud .. both are vocal leaders .. if we dont play up to a Seahawks level, he might not accept that and start pulling a Swearinger and talking about practice and certain players etc ..

Ok I see your point although I still think it's highly unlikely, simply because of Del-Rio, he knows how to call defense. Greg Manusky and Joe Barry aren't even close to Del-Rio's level.
