    So... Sankey, Andrews should be gone. SHOULD be, anyway.

    Mccluster gone?

    Andrews plays too hard to get cut, Robinson will find a way to keep him

    I'd say Cobb Sankey and mccluster could be gone, Cobb probably safe

    Exactly.....between free agency and the draft we improved in a lot of areas. J Rob still got our OT and plenty of extra picks......if you look at it WE got Henry for free and still got a 1st rounder next year. I really like Rishard Mathews and he will do well.....DGB needs to explode this year.

    Andrews was the best running back on the field last year, but the running group was not good.

    Keeping Cobb... Henry and Murray... 1 more, I'd say.

    I'm just gonna laugh when I read the responses on here when we get torched by our division rivals through the air this year.

    Our secondary gave up 34 passing TDs last year, that's third worst in that category. To throw salt on the wound, 5 of those TDs were from the Jags in one game. ONE GAME....against the JAGS. You should be upset.

    In comparison we ranked 25th in rushing yards last year. Ok that's a problem, which we addressed already in free agency when we traded for the best available, proven RB Demarco Murray.

    I hope the pick works out. While his workload last year worries me, I don't think he will be asked to do a ton this year and there is nothing wrong with having a capable backup.

    I thought I read something that Murray accepted a restructured deal. One where it was pretty much a glorified one year contract when its said in done because the team can opt out without much penalty against the cap after this upcoming season. PK had it on ESPN when the trade first accord. Wish I had the link to it...so I guess my thing is the risk/reward factor is the reason for the trade to begin with. Also Murray is how old now? How many RBs not named Adrian keep their form this late into their career especially after having a year where the load was as high as Murray's?

    Almost every team in the league uses 2 back or 3 back game plans. The days of relying on 1 serviceable back are over. Murray was the only legit back on the roster. Now they have 2, like every other team in the league.

    I hope DGB really does well this year. I'm not so sure I'm sold on him though. Would have loved to go after a top flight talent in the draft this year. But the WRs were a tad underwhelming this year as a whole. I'd be shocked if that's not a big focus going into next year's draft. Would be really shocked if one of the 2 1st aren't spent on a WR. You simply have to pair Mariota with a true #1 option. I said this before but when you look at Winston he throws to VJ and Mike Evans, Bortles the Allen Brothers, Stafford had Megatron, Luck has TJ and had Marvin, Carr has Cooper, Red Riffle has AJ, Big Ben has Brown, etc.. The list just goes on and on. QBs who take that next step in their careers have at least one go to guy. Mariota needs to have that. Walker is probably going to start a downward slump soon more than likely so getting Mariota that outside help has to be a priority in the near future.

    Probably because our OL haven't been that good in recent past. They can barely run block for a single RB...now you want them to run block for two RBs with different styles lol...I'm making fun of the situation but IMO until our OL gets better at least doing ANYTHING consistently well I'd say you keep the changes to a minimal. So I'm fine having two of the same RB more or less.

    If our running game is bad after investing 3 top 10 picks into it I'm gonna puke!
