Don't want to spend the money on a free agent tackle. Draft him.

I would still rather use that money on some other FAs to fill out roster and get an OT at 21.

Trent Williams would be awesome. I just don't think he would be worth the money for us. It will probably be between 17-20 million a year. We have a great offensive line. Having Williams vs just an average LT will not make us that much better, in my opinion and will decrease what we have available for the rest of the team. If we are going to break the bank for a player (and I do not want us to do it) I think it should be DE. THAT (a great pass rushing DE) would be transformational.

Can go a lot of different directions I just feel like Trent Williams is the best free agent available the only DE worth considering throwing big money at is Shaq Barrett and while either would make the team better I’d rather have the O-line no team wants to go against. Could always draft a DE or sign one of the less expensive guys

Ngakoue and Dupree would be worth large contracts, and so would Lawson the way the Colts value pressures. Despite only 5.5 sacks, Lawson had 44 total pressures last year, or nearly 3 per game.

For reference, TJ Watt had 61 pressures, no one else had more than 45, and Lawson's 44 is tied for 4th best in the NFL.

I like Lawson a lot. He is one fast MO-FO!

Draft the LT and bring in mid-level FA LT as insurance. Get Edge in FA. I trust Ballard to get the right guy there. Bring back Rhodes. Sign 1 FA WR (Brown or Hilton). Look hard at TE in the draft Pitts or Freiermuth.

Everyone wants to talk about Brady. But defense won the Super Bowl. We need more passrush. We got the 3-tech solved, but passrush will improve that secondary. Don’t really care how they do it. But it needs to be fixed.
