Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

[30gut]

Griffin is now our QB of the future and we need to build around him.
But we've also lost our 2nd round pick.

In light of these events how would you like to see the FO attack this off-season both via FA and draft?

Maybe Indy picks RGIII and we end up with Luck, you never know. I say trade the 3rd, one of the 4th rounders and add Hall to move into the 2nd round and pick a CB, S, OL or WR whatever looks best in that round.

After all that we gave up to move 4 spots in the 1st and you are sitting here suggesting we trade yet more picks to move up in the second? You should be kicked in the nuts for even thinking such a thought.

If you want an impact player such as a S or CB or G, then you should. i would much rather have a 2nd rounder talent than 3rd and it would be our second 4th rounder, plus Hall who is shit. So don't get your panties bunched up on your nuticles!!

I'd say either way our QB needs weapons so Garcon, Jackson, etc. Whoever but we need a WR or two. I agree we do need help at corner for sure but hall isn't going anywhere

Move Barnes to Safety let LL walk.
Sign Grubbs G.
Sign Terrell Thomas CB
Sign Paul Soliai NT
Sign Eddie Royal WR
Sign Curtis Lofton ILB


Draft trade back in 3rd pick up additional pick for next yr.
4th rd pick Tommy Streeter WR, Rainey RB.
5th rd OL
6th I don't think we have one but if we do ILB
7th OL
7th OL

You almost read my mind. I like it.

Soliai would be great. Then Cofield can spend more time at end, which is a better spot for him.

However, we have two fourths. I'd be more willing to trade back one of them than to trade back the 3rd round pick. I might even package lower round picks to move back into the third with another pick.

Bottom line to which most would agree: We can't spend what we spent on Griffin without providing him with weapons and protection.

So true but we want weapons that will be with us for a while we don't weapons that are great now & when RG3 is hitting his stride in 2 or 3 yrs they are old in NFL terms.

Areas of Concern

WR -- RG3 needs a legit #1 WR (i.e. Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston)

OL -- Need a new RT for OL to be successful. Liked what Willie Smith had to show at the end of the season. Not much to pick from in FA... Could use some competition at OG. (Paul McQuistan?, Jeff Backus?)

DB -- Hall just didn't get it done last season IMO. Play maker? Yes, but too inconsistent in coverage. Need a true shutdown corner. Not sure how we handle Landry and the safety position. Time will tell...

These are my 3 top areas of concern going into FA. Of course re-signing Fletch is very important, but I don't see it as the be all, end all. If we fix these areas of concern in any way that betters the team, I will be a happy camper.

Barnes is almost as bad a safety as he is a cb, so I don't like that. Also I think we may sign royal to be a #2/3 WR but well definitely do our best to get a true #1

[Ruhskins]

Since they are likely to address WR in FA they should look to add a safety in the third round.
