Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

[SBXVII]

So LT or Willie Parker guys?

I feel like this is the "Who would you do" game. LOL.

Detroit seems to be building up their d-line in free agency. I wonder if this is clearing the way to take Okung at #2 instead of Suh?

[diehard]

Yeah. Pashos' deal wasn't eye-popping. I'd like to hear some confidence that Jones or Heyer will be a major contributer next season. Drafting 2 stud OTs in the same draft is a miracle and we need LBs?

I think they're considering moving their current LT, Jeff Backus to left guard. Stafford was killed last year as well. They passed on Oher and drafted Brandon Pettigrew, which is something that makes you go "huh?".

If Bradfored and Okung are both gone, a trade down is the best course of action...or Suh for NT.

I swear, this is exactly what I was thinking as I saw they brought in Burleson today. I know the Lions are more than a few pieces of the puzzle away from contending for the playoffs, but matthew Stafford has got to be one happy mother fucker if they bring in Okung after the pickups that they have made. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Fargas get picked up in Detroit to compliment their current #1 RB, Kevin Smith

[diehard]

If Okung is gone and Suh is still available (and no trades that'll keep us in the top 10 picks) we should draft Suh. But that's wishful thinking. A QB drafted #4 overall starts as a rookie...

Riddle me this. If Okung and Bradford are gone by pick 4, I think that could be a blessing in disguise. But, I think that the 3-4 idea would have to go right out the fucking window. Imagine,

Carter Haynesworth Suh Orakpo

my god, I am starting to drool.
and i think its a foregone conclusion that Williams will be alot better this year, after an offseason of training, training camp, and learning Shannys schemes, I would not be surprised if he steps right into a starting guard slot opposite Dock. Same goes for Levi, an offseason with this new coach can only make him better.

I'd do LT... they don't call Willie "fast" for nothing and I like to be romanced a little bit.

Well, the 3-4 front may be:
DE: Daniels NT:Haynesworth/Suh DE:Haynesworth/Suh

I still think a trade down for two or three picks is going to happen because Tampa needs Suh to help create pressure in their cover-2 scheme. Add a 2nd rounder or something for trading away Rocky and we suddenly have a lot more draft picks.

You have a lot to say about Phat Al but you all couldn't run short yardage on him. He single handedly stopped 5 of your players on one play. Your own O-lineman told him he was underpaid after the first game.

Make fun of him all you want, none of your d-lineman can hold his jockstrap.

If we lose Rocky and Carlos then we have holes at linebacker and corner.

I have seen Davis ranked ahead of Okung more than once. Suh is not a nose tackle. If we take him it would be at DE (3-4)

According to Dolphins beat reporter Jeff Darlington, Ryan Clark is scheduled to visit the Dolphins and hopes to leave with a contract

Well they did just sign Kampman from GB so I'm not sure they'd be as willing to trade up, could happen though.

That's the thing, they don't have any d-lineman. A bunch of warmed over, washed up losers. Seriously, who do the Giants have in the middle -nodda.
