You guys think any quality Tackles will drop to the 2nd round?
Just quoting this because I cba to find your old post, but just read about the contracts for Freeney, Abraham, and that one Giant dude who went to Atlanta who's name you can't spell got in FA (like 3-4 mil a year), so 30+ year old pass rushers shouldn't test the market. Very good chance Suggs gets restructured.
It would suck to see Jameel go, his story's really good but at the end of the day it's a business and he's our biggest savings. He's definitely good enough to be a spot starter elsewhere. I'd be surprised if they let Leach go, he didn't play much this year because they had to have more three-wide sets since we couldn't run the ball anyway, but they know more about what was wrong with Rice and Pierce and how much that Harvard dude has improved than we do. Koch making 2 mil a year to be in the bottom 10 of net punting is a joke, he's gone.
Was just reading about all the Ravens' moves in last FA. Ellerbe got that huge contract to be the sixth-worst MLB according to PFF in Miami, while we spend a mil on Daryl Smith. Paul Kruger has a decent year in Cleveland while Elvis Dumervil was awesome for most of the year, and we saved money. Cary Williams got overpaid in Philly so we had some other random corner step up and be really good for us. There's no reason to panic about this offseason, man.
Although just saw Rich Gannon write about how he's never seen a QB take less criticism for a shitty offense than Joe Flacco did this year. As much as the offense around him faltered he simply has to play better. Hoping a new OC will help with that. Harbaugh said the candidates are Steelers RB coach Kirby Wilson, WR coach Jim Hostler, Kyle Shanahan and Scott Linehan. Not too excited.
Not sure on the second-round tackles.
