I hear you, I've got Kendall Langford, Soliai, with D'Qwell Jackson, Brooks Reed and Clay Matthews up front and I've added Mike Adams, Aaron Ross and Omar Bolden to the secondary which had Usama Young, Joe Haden and Buster Skrine already. Compared to what it was before, at least all three levels have some nice talent. Still needs a little work, but this is Cleveland I'm working with here, didn't have a whole lot to start with.
Considering what Buffalo had to work with...I got a QB, upgraded the secondary and LB's with FA and draft to go. Really only want to shore up the OL at this point...add a WR or 2 in the draft and be done.
Far from a block-buster, but I'm very happy with the addition of Anthony McCoy. Seems like a guy like him (willing blocker who double's as one of the league's most efficient TEs when used on passing plays) is a must in today's two-TE NFL.
Will someone win the Brian Orakpo sweepstakes today???? Very few humans capable of this type of domination: [video]http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d814f1f77/WK-14-Brian-Orakpo-highlights[/video]
come on guys, we only had 16 pages of trades last season. We should be able to reach that before we bid for cut FAs.
By the way, can I have a proper ****ing NFL roster if I do this next year? It's like having half a god damn team with what I have.
Wait! You only got 26.5 players when you were assigned your team? HS! That's ****ed up! Tell you what, I'll help you out. Go check out the cut thread. I will not cut those guys and give them to you for a 5th round pick... That's right... all of them! I like to help those in dire straits out.
Front 7. Williams/Dareus/K. Williams/Orakpo Lavonte/ Johnson/Schofield Lavonte as the 3 down backer. Not bad at all. Backed by Corey Webster, Josh Wilson, Byrd and a young upcoming SS.
I wouldn't have made the trade personally but it's not like he hadn't performed very well the three previous years.
Well if he didn't feel like he was going to get someone the caliber of Orakpo in the first couple rounds, good for him. It's only a first and second right, we're all about voting for the win now... it's all on you... you!
Please. The real Redskins wouldn't trade Orakpo for a first and second. Orakpo is a 10 sack guy while playing over the LT. Him and Williams would terrorize. Plus FA DEs are real light right now. Expect $15 mil minimum for the 1 or 2 guys available if they don't get franchised.
