    I like this

    Playmakers., I would love to see Stroud with these weapons. I can guarantee you they would score more than three points in a playoff game. There would be a price to pay for blitzing like the Ravens did.

    Stroud/Bucky Irving (one of the more elusive shifty backs) would force teams to respect play action.

    Then we're talking 70 yards for our receivers and Dalton Shultz/Brevin Jordan to work within.
    Maximize Stouds positives. Gun for an arm, that can make all the passes, and accurate.

    Tez Walker lives in that 5 and out all day. He could go with that alone for 10 completions
    for 50 yards/game. Robert Woods averaged around 36 yards receiving per game.

    Hoping Scruggs at Center gets to the second tier of the defense and chop down some linebackers
    and their pursuit side to side.

    *As far as our defense. Patrick Queen would make it more dynamic..

    @raining threes

    Here you can get a little of my mindset on McConkey and Tez Walker.

    59:53 sec mark: Ladd McConkey (gets separation Stoud will love)
    followed by
    Tez Walker: I'm sold by these guys and their assessments

    That's not the takeaway. The NFL swings wildly year to year.

    The takeaway is this left-for-dead franchise is among those listed.

    this is the perfect year to sign a star FA running back

    CJ is on a rookie deal and there are a ton of good RBs available. Saquan, Jacobs, Pollard, Eckler, Derrick Henry,

    Would you guys be willing to let any combination of Greenard, Cashman and the concept of having a vet TE on the roster walk away, if it means you could add the following?

    Additions:
    Splashy DT: Of your choice
    Splashy LB : Queen
    Splashy RB: Barkley
    Sneaky Splashy Safety: Xavier McKinney (better against the pass than the other hotter safeties and rarely misses tackles. Agent is your favorite agent)
    Mid splash receiver: Tyler Boyd, great at run blocking. Slot.
    Mid splash LG: Runyan (in case of emergency)

    Would still be able to re-sign Nelson later
    And of course Re-sign Barnett to take over Greenard's workload.


    I'm on team re-signing our important FAs, but I want to see every option.

    Yes, but I would keep Cashman over Queen and use the extra money on Chris Jones.

    Demeco said resources will be used on improving the front seven. Hes not satisfied with that group.To me that implies a change in personel and greenard and cashman likely gone.

    It takes more than a RB to create an effective running attack. We have pass protectors, but we need road graders to run effectively.

    It's more cohesiveness as a unit for this scheme. We romanticize the 2010-2012 lines. But it didn't gel in one season. They'll get there. I added a RB because people want Jacobs or Barkley.

    I think it's more likely they add to those guys than let them walk.
