I was going to wait until after the upcoming Senior Bowl, but decided to get this in now as there are apt to be several pre & post-Combine changes anyway.
IMO, it will be near impossible to fill our eventual need for a LT to one day replace Whitworth in the first round, the best are likely gone where we pick, much like the CB's, so look for a combined developmental LT and potential swingman for 2018 depth. CAP cutting Austin, Barron & Quinn adds over $21mil. to our already previously scheduled $45mil. of available CAP, and all of of these positions can be improved upon for far less money. Extending Saffold now also saves CAP in 2018 as well as preserves a top Lineman for our team's future as we look towards 2019 when both Havenstein & Brown could enter free agency. I offer 3 names for consideration as our #1 CB, all of whom will cost less than what TruJo has for the last two years. Finally, Tremaine Edmunds looks like the prototypical pass rushing OLB college prospect we all desire with excellent speed and great length. Cappa is my only question going into the Senior Bowl, being whether he can manhandle the big school kids like he was able to at Humboldt. I added Rogers to the 53 for his additional pass catching skills and would love to see strengthened blocking for our RB's.
CAP Cut : Austin, Barron & Quinn.
Extend : Donald & Saffold.
Re-sign : Watkins, Joyner, Sullivan, Robey-Coleman, Easley (if healthy) & McQuaide.
Re-sign vet minimum and possible camp cuts Tyrunn Walker, Cornelious Lucas
Tender all RFA's (Longacre, Hill, D.Williams, M. Brown, Lynch)
Let walk - Tru Johnson, Connor Barwin, Lance Dunbar, Derek Carrier, Cody Davis
Free agency signings :
CB - Prince Amukamara (Chicago) - 28; Malcolm Butler (N.E.) - 27 ; Bashaud Breeland (Was.) - 25
I'd be good with any one of the above CB's joining our defense, may come down to money, although Breeland is well known to McVay.
ILB - Todd Davis (Denver) - 25
NT - Justin Ellis (Oakland) - 27
A combination of Davis & Ellis should just about end our previous problems dealing with the interior rush.
2018 Draft :
1-23) OLB - Tremaine Edmonds, VTech
3) OT - Alex Cappa, Hum.St. (My surprise small school long shot)
4) RB - Mark Walton, Miami (change of pace outside threat, Austin replacement)
5) FS - Armani Watts, Tx. A&M (replaces Cody Davis)
6a) OG - Wyatt Teller, VTech

For those conspiracy theorists, the three draftees from VTech was accidental.
