This is getting to be page one of the Holmes playbook - minimize pressure from positional need as much as possible before the draft.

RandyMarsh Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I'd like to get 1 more safety for depth and Reynolds or a replacement for him but I don't think either are dire needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Still love the signing either way but just curious does this signing prevent us from receiving any possible compensation for Jackson and/or CJGJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like no. Even if Reynolds signs with another team, the Lions lost two qualifying free agents, CJGJ and Jackson, but signed three in Reader, Davenport and Robertson.

Motown Bombers Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 BTW, it doesn't look like the 49ers are getting a comp pick for Chase Young. Even if they did, they would only be getting a 5th. It was never guaranteed they would get a comp 3rd pick back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 When you look at the past Super Bowl winners, outside of just QB play, they usually have at least one or more units on their team that are elite. For us, with the addition of Zeitler, that should continue to be our OLine. Really love this signing and it keeps our offensive line as one of the premier units in the league.

Motown Bombers Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If Davenport is healthy and has a productive season, that defensive line is elite. McNeill is a very underrated tackle and with Reader and Hutchinson, that line would be elite. I would also add that the Montgomery/Gibbs combo would be elite and possibly the TE group.

NYLion Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 2 hours ago, Mr.TaterSalad said: The Zeitler signing is a nice cap to our offseason. This takes care of one of our biggest needs and gives Brad full ability to go BPA in the draft. I think Holmes would have done this regardless but now it opens up more options at the draft where they aren't pigeonholed into taking a CB and/or guard with the top 3 picks because they have legit starters at those positions now. I still see a few immediate needs in #2 or #3WR because we don't know what Jamo is right now and a vet safety but neither are critical needs like Guard and Corner were headed into the offseason.

AlaskanTigersFan Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If the Lions can trade out of the first round and get a 2nd and 3rd, they should do it. Now they need some high risk, high reward players and the only way you can do that is with a crap shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_R Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, Motown Bombers said: Jackson made just under $3 million last year. And if I’m reading it right, Vaitai’s base salary for last year was $3 million. So it’s a wash in salary for an improvement in the OL.

RandyMarsh Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Mike Williams signed with the Jets, he's one of the WRs I was interested in to fill the Reynolds role but its not to be. Im starting to get the feeling that we may use the draft to fill that need which would be fine with me. Considering the cost of WRs it makes sense to draft 1 every couple years so you're not stuck having to pay 2 big contracts down the road.
