    I am also afraid of overpaying for a free agent WR or RB, but we doneed help there. If we're going to shell out the big money, I vote for veteran proven OL, safety and CB.

    That's the nature of free agency, everyone pretty much over pays when you open the bidding process. You get any quality guys and you expect to pay a bit more because the other teams will if you won't.

    For me a lot will depend on FA after cuts and what we get in the draft if we trade out with someone.

    I wouldn't have taken Grimm aboard on his coaching record though he was a terrific player bar maybe his last year IIRC.

    Lets see if we could get Mack or Thomas out of Cleveland if they fancy putting them in the deal to move up if they are interested in doing so. In fact , I would take a look at the OL of any team wishing to move up to see what could be put in the mix as part of a deal ; could be anyone of four or five teams in the hunt to move up if Wentz's stock continues to rise.

    I'd be interested in Incognito out of Buffalo and Sweezy out of Seattle at the right price. In the draft I would still take Kyle Murphy , the Stanford Tackle in the third round. Add in the cuts and then juggle a bit.

    RB's dont get big $$ in FA anymore, anyone allowed to leave their team isnt that great to begin with. $3M/yr should get you the best FA RB available, just cut McClusterF*ck and boom, theres your $3M for the next RB.

    Miller or Martin will get a lot more than $3 M/yr. Double that is a better approximation.

    Cam Newton's ability to run has more to do with that than Oher's talent. Cam's running ability stops ends from screaming by Oher with speed because it would leave gaping running lanes.

    Just wait until Demarcus Ware does it once in the Super Bowl.

    I don't know but their entire line as a whole looks good. They give Camra time to pass and they open up good running lanes. Look at the playoff games, the line protected well enough to give him time in the pocket. A lot more time than what we give our QBs and also all 3 of their RBs are more successful than our RBs. In summary, their O line is good.

    This is where I hope the GM shows his experience as I don't hold much for mularkey. I hope Robinson can work the magic we all hope he can produce!

    we should overpay Mack if necessary, then find or draft someone who can play tackle. Vet leadership at center goes a long way.
