They don't worry me at all either, in the run game. But for once in my lifetime I would like to start seeing some consistent pressure up the middle.

I think Hunt can provide some valuable snaps in that UT spot as well. I don't see either him or Anderson as an even front DE. Hunt has proven he's not good there, and Anderson has shown too much to not play on the interior. |

Chubb reminds me of Michael Bennett or Terrell Suggs with better quickness and speed. He's smart, uses technique and moves to beat people as well as pure talent, and like Bennett can take over a game (watch the FSU tape, he completely dominated their offense all game). He also doesn't quit on plays and is very much a high effort player, never see him take a play off. |

There's $80 million of cap space, not many free agents to retain, and some contracts that can be trimmed off the books. Who said these things were mutually exclusive?

Nope, not mutually exclusive. Top priority if FA should be OL who can protect Luck. Top priority in the draft should be guys who can put the other SOB QB on his ass. |

1) Franchise QB 2) Guys who get to the other QB 3) Guys who protect franchise QB Especially if the offense is designed to get the ball out quickly, which Reich's is. |

We can afford two new starters on the OL, a pass rusher, and we will still have lots of money left over.

The sure-fire stater is Nate Solder (NE) who had a down year in Cheater land in 2017. He has thrown together a good career and is only 29 so I suspect he would be good for a 3/4 year contract. If signed, let him and 'Stanzo duke it out for LT duties while the loser slides to RT. Behind Solder, there are a couple of guys who have not been full-time starters that I would be interested in seeing if they are better options than Good or Reitz. Cameron Flemming, NE Chris Hubbard, PIT cornelius Lucas, LAR Austin Pasztor, ATL Seantrel Hendersen, BUF Pasztor was a full time starter prior to being on IR in 2017. All the rest have only been depth or part time starters due to injury at this point. NE is only $17m under the cap with two OTs hitting free agency. My guess is that only one will be re-signed so we could have a shot at either Solder or Flemming which would be great. PIT is only $6m under the cap with the decision on RB Bell to make. Hubbard might also hit the market which is great because of the guys available, Solder, Flemming and Hubbard are my top guys. OG? Yeah, I have not looked at them yet but I am under the impression that there are a ton of guys there with good skillsets. So, in my perfect world, we sign: 1x OT (Solder, Flemming, Hubbard) 1x OG (starter level FA from another team) 1x OG Jack Mewhort and then draft in 3rd or 4th round 1x O-Linemen to add to the mix retain 'Stanzo, Kelly, Haeg, Good and Bond/Person. That is 9 bodies with Haeg, Good, Bond/Person and the rookie being the depth guys behind 'Stanzo, Kelly, Mewhort and the 2x free agents. That is very doable.....along with signing defensive free agents to help the transition to the 4-3 and a few offensive skill players (WR, RB) to add to the mix. Walk Worthy,
