FFMD 12 Part 2 War Room: The Black Hole

Just to throw it out there I think a position we should be trying to secure looking at our starting lineup is TE, pretty clear to me its our worst starting caliber position, followed by NT, RT, and OLB.

I also think we could come out with better value picks and less need based picks if we keep our team more lined up in a 4-3 defense. If we switch to a 3-4 its going to warrant more need picks. A pass rushing OLB, an inside linebacker, and a NT all would need to be acquired to fill out a 3-4. I can understand having looks but I think a major question we need to start asking is how important is the 3-4 defense to us?

Just my opinion but we don't have any untouchable players, if the value is fair I'd move anyone.

I agree Kelly/Seymour would be worth shopping around for starters as well need to add some more picks.

TE might be a need and once we sort out our big board we can look who might be available at our respective picks.

Murphy my hunch is wouldn't have much value in a trade, but I'd still shop him around. A similar deal to the Goodson/Campbell could be in order were we go for a team overloaded at a certain area.

Could I ask everyone to compile a team needs list for me? Want to see what our feelings are.

I think the obvious trade candidates are Seymour and Kelly. One or the other should be on the move if we can get decent value.

I wouldnt trade Houston, or at least I wouldnt look to move him, hes not untouchable or anything.

I think staying in a 4-3 makes the most sense, we could run a hybrid, but switching completely will create more needs.

Team needs for me right now

DE
NT
LG
RT
Coverage LB

At this stage I'd probably be more inclined to trade Seymour over Kelly purely on an age/injury basis. I think Seymour could still garner solid value (a mid + late round pick I'm thinking? ) and with Houston/Kelly we would still have a solid DT pairing.

Hi Guys, just stopping by to see if there's any interest in any of our players on the block.

Pick #9
QB- Jimmy Clausen
RB-JStew or DWill, not both.
OT- Jeff Otah
DE/LB- Eric Norwood
WLB- Thomas Davis
CB- Captain Munnerlyn
CB- Darius Butler
FS- Sherrod Martin

If you have interest in any other players, just shoot me a PM. Some will be untouchable but we might be willing to move some for the right price.

So lets making one of those there shopping lists and get it out.

Tommy Kelly
Richard Seymour
Darren McFadden
Louis Murphy
Jacoby Ford

Any other adds? Defensive Line and WR's seem like our workable positions. Looking at that it would be nice to package up a deal to the lower 3rd Round with a guy like Kelly or Seymour.

I'm in if you need more help.

I also think we need to stay 4-3 for now, but maybe with one eye on players that could fit the 3-4 in future.

I wouldn't put McFadden on the block. I understand he hasn't been able to stay fit, and I really liked the Goodson trade, but I don't know that Goodson is a starter, and if not, it just creates a massive hole that needs to be filled.

I see our needs in no particular order as:

OL
TE
NT
RE
LB
FS

I say RE, because on passing downs, we could switch Shaughnessy to LE and move Houston inside (where he really needs to be).

Block players:
-Seymour or Kelly - if we bring in a NT and Houston is moving inside, we have too many DTs
-Murphy - a player I really like, but realistically he is #4 Wr at the moment, so we got to look at value to fill other needs.
-Huff - usually attracts interest, and always looks like a Corner playing at Safety.

Broncos GM here - Would you guys possibly have interest in trading Marcel Reece?
