Load up the first year with really easy to attain bonuses.

It can be done, just have to be creative, and need a willing player to go along with it.

Talib makes sense to happen here, but I still think this is a smokescreen to get Toler and Biggers.

We have not had good success with former KU first round draft picks as FA.

You raise me a Dana stubblefield, I raise you a John Riggins. Talib could be that deciding factor

[diehardskin2982]

IMO- We have to make adjustments to the offense to insure that there isn't a significant drop off when RG3 is not there. That means upgrading the team with speed and playmakers. Losing LA is not a huge loss to me. Special teams players are supposed to be young and work their way into the starting lineup. An older ST player is a luxury we can not afford and as much as I like Lorenzo's personality he is too slow in space to be a starter.

If I was an armchair GM I would seek to sign a Vet who can teach the secondary that we draft. I would look into a player like Charles Woodson or a Talib. On offense I would sign Chris Rainey. I'm not sure about these CB coming severe knee injuries because of the work they do in open space.

In the draft I am targeting:

Terron Armstead
David Amerson or Jordan Poyer
Robert Alford
Tyrann Mathieu
Johnathon Cyprien
Duke Williams
Ray Ray Armstrong
Shamarko Thomas
Marquis Goodwin or Denard Robinson
Matt Furstenburgh

Players with playmaking ability.

I like the Chris Rainey idea, speed is our friend.

Agreed. Fortunately for us there are TONS of them in this years draft at the DB position, and a few at WR (didn't see Tavon Austin in your list)

because Austin isn't falling to us

Only because it would be a pipedream to think he would fall that far to us.

Last thing I want on this team is a bunch of head cases to screw up the locker room. If Rainey can't do what he's supposed to with a strong veteran Steelers team, I don't want him.

Ah gotcha, good point. Well, speak of the devil, Seahawks are planning on releasing Leon Washington per Schefter.(https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/sta...55490524053504)

I feel like Washington would be perfect for how we used Banks in the pistol last year?

I second this notion. Speed may be our friend, but headaches should not be...

Yeah, I'll be a bit grumpy if we held on to one more year with Moss and Fletch over 4 more of LoAx and Freddie Delight.
