I like Fincher. In my mind he is going to be a solid player at LB. He may not be the flashy guy, but he can get the job done.

Apparently Vernon Carey got 6 years, $42M. Wow. Even if he hit free agency, I doubt we would have ponied up that kind of cash for him. He's a solid, durable player, but I wonder if he's worth $7M/yr...

If you are going to go LB with the 13th pick, only Maualuaga or Matthews make sense. Getting Cushing would have to involve trading back.

I can agree with Maualuga, but I don't think Matthews is a #13 pick. I like him, think he's got potential to be a solid player in the league but 13 is too high for him.

Maualuga would be awesome at this point but then we've got to address RT in FA. Things are starting to look very tight IMO.

... as to Fincher he has Marcus' attitude on the field. In preseason he was insanely pumped... i just don't know whether he can be the guy. It would be sooooooooo nice for diamond to come out of the rough in this scenario. Aren't we do anyhow?

Matthews is a second round pick. Cushing is a 1-2 pick maualuga is a definite first rounder, but you can get a solid WLB in later rounds were as we need to build our lines in the first round

I and FYI gibril Wilson just got released from the raiders

cobracai1 · 02-20-2009, 09:58 PM

The Jets are gonna cut right guard Brandon Moore. He is only 28 and from what i've read he's their best run blocker. Could be expensive but if we could get him at a decent rate........

We need serious help at O-line. From what I read by that Redskins Insider dude in the Wash Post the coaches dont think Rhinehart has "the confidence or the potential" to start. I hope they meant just this year...itd be a shame to waste a 3rd rounder like that. Itd be perfect if he turned into a beast and we didnt have to resign Kendall. So old and slow...he got eaten up last year.

I like the idea of drafting an OT at 13...but if the top 3 are off the board...hopefully trade down and get some much needed draft picks for young depth. I dont envy the front office this year...

I wonder if there is a possibility that J. Taylor goes back to the Fins in 09'

Seems really unlikely 44. The Big Tuna played that hand perfectly and i doubt either parties want to revisit things.

I meant if we cut him. I realize its unlikely but it seems possible. Guess I was thinking/posting out loud.

The Colts can't afford Harrison anymore.

Sucks for them, but you're not saying we should get him right?

No I was just adding it to the free agent thread. I believe in getting younger through the draft, and developing players. Marvin Harrison is a Pro-bowl WR but he is on the decline at 36.
