WFT Free Agency

[SkinzWin]

There’s magic in the air tonight ladies and gentlemen.

Former Dolphins’ QB Ryan Fitzpatrick reached agreement with the Washington Football Team on a one-year deal worth $10 million that could grow to $12 million with incentives, per source. Fitzpatrick is expected to head to camp as the starter, with competition from Taylor Heinicke.

LB will be our 1st pick unless someone falls into the 19th spot.

LB, CB, and LT are all towards the top of the leaderboard. We should have a least 1 good option among those 3 at 19.

What do you do when Mac Jones is there at 19 starring you in the face?!

Yup.
Stick with Logan, draft a TE.

My opinion on free agency is go bargain hunting after that 1st wave goes by. We have seen too many times teams go on spending sprees and it rarely ever works out.

Yup. There are occasional exceptions, but generally you massively overpay in FA. Your philosophy rings especially true this year with so many vets cut because of shrinkage of cap. Some serious bargains out there for the patient. Offer lots of players lowball deals and wait. . .

I don’t want JuJu. But if we don’t get Golladay he’s the next best alternative. I just can’t help but feel like he’s a diva, not Ron’s kind of guy.

JuJu is a HOLE and does not seem to fit the attributes (non-playing-skill attributes) RR looks for. He is also very similar to 3 WRs we already have on roster, a long strider with speed but not quickness.

Stick to your board. I suspect most teams will have him graded 2nd round or later due to arm strength issues, but you only need one team grading him higher. I would rather be patient. I'm drafting a QB 1st round I want Jones character and IQ, but also better arm strength, and I really like Jones. Heinecke is in essence a poor man's Jones anyway, checks boxes except size arm strength. REALLY limits you long term when QB has to have clean pocket and perfect mechanics to deliver long balls because of arm strength limitations.

In a draft deep at CB and LT, you could find a long-term CB1 or franchise LT and fill one of 5 high leverage positions for the long term. We now have gaping hole at CB. I generally favor building trenches first so would go LT with pick if a franchise PASS BLOCKING LT is sitting there.

A franchise pass blocking LT generally is gone by 10. That said, if one is there yes take him, or franchise level LB if JDR/RR thinks their guy is sitting there.

Looking ahead: Washington still wants to sign a receiver and two names need to be watched -- Curtis Samuel and Marvin Jones. Washington tried to trade for Samuel last season. Both offer speed. Also, Washington wants to be mindful of Terry McLaurin's next contract when signing another receiver. If it breaks the bank on a receiver now, it could make it harder to retain McLaurin in the future. It also will look at tight ends. Gerald Everett is available; he fits what they desire (vertical threat).

Sounds very logical.. I didn't realize we tried to trade for Samuel last year. If we sign Marvin Jones then we probably would need to find a replacement next year or 2 years later so I'm not fan of this part but wouldn't complain if we signed him.

Generally, yes. But it is a very deep draft at QB and LT. With 4-5 QBs possibly going before we pick, and plenty of quality LTs, we could get at 19 what we might not other years, a franchise LT. Do you take a good LB over a LT? I would say no, all else being equal build trenches first, but I think we have two holes now at LB and RR really wants thumper in middle.
