We entered FA with a little over 100 million. We walk out with about 30 million left and the draft class will take up 10 mil. Keep in mind, the first year salaries will be lower typically so we would really have about 40 million left.

QB- SH
RB- Robinson/Rodriguez
WR- McLaurin/Dotson/ Chark/Claypool/Brown/Milne
TE- Fant/Turner/Bates
LT- Daniels
IOL- Cosmi/Steomberg/Gates/Paul
RT- Wylie

DT- Payne/Kinlaw/Mathis/Ridgeway
DE- Burns/Epenesa/Henay/Toney
LB- White/Davis/Jones/Jennings
CB- Forbes/BSJ/Kelly/Fields
S- Curl/Martin/Butler/Forrest


Compare my plan to what we actually have done and it is similar. Different components but same pieces for the most part. My draft will be based on what we actually have.

QB- Marcus Mariota/Driskel/Fromm
RB- Ekeler/Robinson/Rodriguez
WR- TM/JD/Crowder/ Brown/Milne
TE- Ertz/Bates/Turner
LT- Lucas/Daniels
IOL- Alegretti/Biadasz/Cosmi/Stromberg/Paul
RT- Wylie/Scott


DT- Payne/Allen/Ridgeway/Mathis
DE-Fowler/Ferrell/Armstrong/Prior
LB- Luvu/Wagner/Davis
CB- Frobes/BSJ/Martin/Davis
S- Xhinn/Butler/Forrest/Reaves





A little over 5 hours and counting.

Looking at the differences, I am very happy with our offseason.

We went and got Ekeler at RB. While I am not a proponent of spending that money, it wasn’t too much.

I would have taken a couple low cost WR FAs, but we didn’t. No real difference there.

I definitely would not have wasted my time with Ertz but I had Fant and he ended up costing 10 mil/. I wouldn’t have done that either as I had Fant a a six mil guy.

I would have likely signed Lucas after the draft…before is no real difference. He is insurance.

I am extremely happy with the addition of Biadasz.


I would have traded Allen off and brought in Kinlaw but that is whatever.

They simply brought in cheaper DEs…I am good with that.

I love the addition of Luvu but could have done without “Father Time.” Not disappointed by it though.

No differences in our secondary.

I think we have improved somewhat with a solid off season but in reality, how much? An added win or two to this point. Maybe the draft will bring additional optimism.

I am not looking at this season. I am a long term health guy.

With 36 I would have selected Patrick Paul because one of my scouts said he is the most complete tackle.

I really wanted Ladd, just so I could call him Ladd
