And then you wake up from your dream and start thinking about what we could realistically do...

We need two elite pass rushers any way we can get them, as well as one or two elite level cornerbacks. Then re-sign the key players who made this work.
My dream draft would be edge and cb in one and two. a kicker return man who can be a deep threat. A kicker.
Are there any big backs that can catch in this draft? I would love being able 2 give Henry a breather and still be able to pound the defense.
Naji (sp) Harris from Bama?
Depth with the rest of our picks. This is assuming we keep tanny, henry and conk.
I never said it was realistic, but to compete with the buzzsaw we ran into yesterday it is what we need. If KC can put together an elite roster, we should be able to as well. If we want to have chance at the SB in this division, we better.And then you wake up from your dream and start thinking about what we could realistically do...
This is not true at all. The players in the locker room were talking about how the Titans played 3 totally different schemes 3 weeks in a row.
We are all upset but these are knee jerk reactions. We were simply outmatched by one of the greatest offensive teams ever. Show me a team that has contained that offense, and show me a bad game Mahomes has had at QB. It just doesn't happen.
Pees tried blitzing, playing man, playing zone. We did all that and got beat just about every time.

It was a good idea to try spying Mahomes. Not sure if you saw he was KCs leading rusher and converted multiple 3rd downs with his legs.it's not a knee jerk reaction if it's something I saw him do all year
Pees acted like it was still Lamar out there, he rushed 3 and kept 1 back to "spy", aka watch Mahomes complete a 20 yard pass because he had eternity to sit back and wait for someone to get open. I guess he forgot KC has a passing attack. Is it so out of line to think that collapsing the pocket around him has a better chance at working than letting him take his precious time and pick us apart?
weird concepts I know

But you just pointed it out right there, the spy failed. Not the idea of the spy, but the player either didn’t perform or was the wrong guy.because we only sent 3 to try and pressure him, and a 4th guy giving him 5+ yards of space taking bad angles
if you put 3 guys to try and stop a RB it isn't going to work.. why do we think it'd work vs Mahomes if he's already showed you he'll run for 10+ every time
You forgot to cut Wake.Man over-reaction Monday. We played a crap game yesterday but doesnt mean we blow up the team.
Our FAs (In order of priority)
1. Resign Henry 4/60 mil 45 guaranteed
2. Resign Conklin or Kelly (Pick one because we are not keeping both) Conklin prolly be 4 yr 40 mil
3. Resign Tannehille but do not break the bank
(3 yrs 65 mil)
4. Resign Ryan (3 yr 30 mil)
5. Resign Pruitt
6. Resign Firsker
Cuts:
1. Walker - Love Delanie but the injury took the rest if his career. He needs to retire.
2. Lewis - Completely ineffective at his cost.
3. Succup- Injury was worse than we all expected got to let him go
FA:
I dont see us doing much other than signing a few depth guys for special teams. We have too many of our own that we need to resign and we wont have the money for a top edge rushing FA.
Draft: (Assuming all above has taken place)
1. Pass Russ OLB this changes if a top QB prospect happens to fall to the late 1st
2. RB2
3. WR
4. CB
5. ILB
6. DT
You forgot to cut Wake.
And are you letting all these guys walk?
Correa, Sharpe, Bates, Sims, Jennings, Brock
Wake is way over priced for what he offered. (3 yr, $23 mil, $10 mil guaranteed)I'd keep Wake because he was out most effective pass rusher before he was injured. Even if he is just a situational guy 3rd down guy he gets to the QB. I forgot about Correa and Sharpe but to me those a depth guys and unless they come back on team friendly deals they can be upgraded.
Brock, Bates, Sims, Jennings can all be replaced in the draft with cheaper higher upside guys. We also have Walker from Georia that we drafted last year coming back as well and he may take Correas spot but I was pleased with how Correa played the last 6 or so games.

Signed RT, Henry, Conklin, Logan, Correa, Pruitt, Firkser, and Sharpe.
Cut Dion, Delanie, Wake, and a few scrubs with no dead money.
Leaves us with 18M and 13 roster spots to fill.
Say 7 players at a total 7M in the draft, leaves us with 11M to fill 6 spots. We should be able to do this if we want and roll out the same squad next year. Just won't have much room to add any impact free agents.
But the continuity and growth we will see plus adding in the draft picks should make this already good team a real contender.
Hardest player to let walk was Kelly, but no chance we get both he and Conklin back.
I signed RT at 20M/year for 4 years with an out after 3. If he wants much better than that, we should franchise him and draft someone.
PFF has him as the 24th best interior defender this year out of 113 qualifiers.Overrated and overpriced....
ps, the above post is typically the mindset.....”so he’s really not very good ( I would argue he hasn’t been for 3 seasons) but we like him....
Funny, at THIS moment all we have is Logan Woodside and Dion Lewis in those respective positions. Scary.Biggest needs:
QB
RB
Pass Rush
As of now, we don't have any of those for next season .
we cant cut Lewis fast enoughFunny, at THIS moment all we have is Logan Woodside and Dion Lewis in those respective positions. Scary.
