OK, humor me on this one. With the new Cutler threads that he may not be in the plans floating around I thought, why the hell not? Anything goes but now to the nitty gritty. I figure as I said in another thread we could go 1-7 or 2-6 by the Bye week. But maybe we end up 3-5, who knows. The 2nd half of the season looks a bit tougher so I am currently thinking we should top out at 5-6 wins, maybe 7 with a bit of luck. Judging from historical drafts (And this isn't accurate either) that should place us at about the 10-15 pick range. So hear goes in one foul swoop:
All before June 1 cuts:
Cutler 14M
Massie 5M
Houston 5M
That right there gives you an extra 24M to add to the project 55M we should have if the CAP ends up being 166M like overcap has us for 2017.
So with 79M you can buy 2-3 more impact FA's and I thought nothing better than starting with a going into his prime CB. The first 2 that jump out at me are Trumaine Johnson and Stephen Gilmore. They are both 6.1 or taller and have had good ratings/stats as CB's the past 2 or more years. They will both be 27 in 2017 so we get 3-4 of their best years. No price tag yet. Like I said its too early for this shit.
Then you hit the draft and get the following as of today:
Rd 1: Trade up to 5-7 if he is still there and grab Cam Robinson. He could be the prototypical LT for years to come and has the championship pedigree from a winning program like Alabama.
Rd 2: A reach right now but I got nothing better at this stage. Luke Falk from Washington State has a good arm and plays the spread offense which a lot say is not the kind of training you need for the NFL. But he seems to be mature and can possibly be a diamond in the rough. He is currently being forecast as a round 3-5 but anything can happen in this crapshoot we call the draft. hell his stock can rise 2 rounds in a matter of months just based on his college play.
Look for another RT in FA and make Leno the swing tackle.
