2010 Off Season FA + Draft

I like your draft... especially the top two picks. But I'm not sure about trading the top two picks in next years draft, which could have a rookie pay scale in place for picks this year where their salaries could have an impact on the team. Obviously it's not my money, but from an organizational standpoint I'm not sure if that is the path that they are thinking of taking.

As for your free agency... I like where your mind is at. I think bringing in some of these younger vets on the offensive line is a route they should seriously consider. I like the idea of pairing these guys with some earlier to mid round draft picks in the same area... like a Mankins or Evans to go along with Iupati or some other mauler on the interior. Same goes with the defensive side of the ball where a guy like Casey Hampton could be brought in to groom a Dan Williams at the nose. Another thing about free agency this year is there could be alot of teams looking to take advantage of an uncapped year and dump big salaries.... just something to think about.

It is now time to sell our souls to the devil, or Jerry Jones and push for a huge draft. Drop down, move up, trade players, future picks, what ever it takes. I say go for it.

I'm all for multiple picks believe me, but giving up the top two picks next year seems a little steep. But on the other hand this could be the year to try to aquire addional picks. With a possible rookie cap looming over next years draft, there could be a large influx of underclassmen looking to capitalize, thus making it a deep draft.

Derrick Johnson will be looking for a change in scenery as well as a change in salary... We cant afford him. He'll probably end up with the Redskins.

He is not starting right now, and is barely getting on the field in KC according to the reports I read. That does not usually indictate a big a raise.

So, if he can't get a starting gig with KC, why should we be interested other than a bunch of folks wanted him originally?

Oh nevermind.... Well i hope the Texans dont spend money on a bust then.

According to the fans I read they can not figure out how their best LB is not playing. Read for yourself.

If you remember correctly DJ was drafted to to be a 4-3 OLB. and the new regime is running a 3-4. DJ is not suited to the defense. They have him playing MLB in the 3-4. Vilma had a similar issue at the Jets with Mangini, now he is playing well in for the Saints.

Read his write up by the team, I would be all over him, and I did not want the Texans to draft him 5 years ago.
