You're the GM - What do you do?

Plus Moss isn't staying, there is a reason why he opted out of his contract that was going to overpay him a ridiculous amount. Neither Puz nor Rudd will be let go. 4 year players who consistently lead their team and the league in tackles are almost always re-signed or tendered.

Lastly, there are 32 teams in the NFL. Odds are 8-8 is not a top 15 pick. This year the only two teams that went 8-8 are picking at 16 and 17.

The thing is this team is better than last year's team that went 6-10. We will not be anywhere near Andrew Luck which is 1st overall. The second ranked QB in Matt Barkley will be gone higher than he should a la Blaine Gabbert, only even more because of his USC experience. Not to mention I don't like him at all, and therefore in my opinion no Jake Locker is not a waste of a pick.

Moss likely won't stay, and if you're correct than I don't see why we can't target another free agent. Pudz is a longshot as I stated, but Barrett Ruud is more likely to go than he is to stay. He was neglected last year by management in a contract extension when they decided to give it to Donald Penn instead. Not to mention he had a terrible year by his standards. I will not be surprised if he's a target for Bruce Allen this off-season.

Okay so that top 15 pick which speaks for itself and can be anywhere from 1-15 could possibly be the 16th or 17th pick? Would you like me to have said top 17 pick?
