So are we going to make any moves?
I don't care if we make big splash signings. But I hope we aren't going to wait until the top guys are all gone and pick from the bargain bin at inflated prices.
What moves have been made so far by other teams that you wish the Hawks would've made? Most of the big deals have been for QBs up to this point, and that's certainly not a market we are interested in. I'm not lamenting Graham leaving, same with P-Rich. I laugh at the money being given to Sam Bradford. That G got $13M a year?? Nah, no thanks.So are we going to make any moves?

I think we need to make a good run at re-signing Sheldon Richardson and then Suh if that doesn't pan out. No way should we be tossing around stupid money just because some other teams are doing it.
The league year hasn't even officially started yet though, and it's like we already missed out? I guess I just don't see the panic.Well we need a LG. We need a RB. We need a WR. We need a CB. We need a TE.
That's a lot of needs. I'm fine with waiting on WR and LG if those markets are inflated.
But would you have been upset if we signed Hyde for the money he got?

LG. I don't want a LG for $13M a year, no way. That guy could already be on the roster anyway in Ethan Pocic.
RB. We have Carson, Prosise, McKissic, and maybe Rawls. If we really "need" one, there are some out there. I would have been ok with Hyde, but is it really him or nothing? It's a really deep RB draft this year as well.
WR. Jordy Nelson is out there. I am certainly glad we didn't give Richardson that contract he's getting in DC. No way. He's a role player.
TE. We already knew we were going to need one here after the anticipated loss of Graham. ASJ is being talked about as someone who will get a look here.
I just see no reason to spend stupid money because it seems to be the trend. Malcolm Butler getting $12M a year?? Trumaine Johnson $15M/yr? About the only contract I've seen so far that I wish the Hawks could take is Muhammad Wilkerson for 1 year, $5M in GB...and you gotta wonder why he agreed to that so quickly.
McKinnon just got $30M for 4 years from the 49ers, who let Hyde walk to Cleveland for $15M over 3 years.
I think the RB value is on the first contract, not the 2nd.
Hyde's contract is pretty good. That is stupid money for McKinnon unless that money is based on a lot of incentives being reached.
Our LG may already be on the roster.Well we need a LG. We need a RB. We need a WR. We need a CB. We need a TE.

Very glad to have McDougald back for 3 more years. However, I wonder if this means we are confident Kam cannot play again or if it's just an insurance policy.
Our LG may already be on the roster.
Draft a RB.
Draft a WR.
Draft a CB...
and probably draft a TE.
Im conflicted with this.
On one hand There are some Fa's that could have helped our teams that went to others( Crabtree, Norwell, Nelson, Soldier etc.)
On the other hand I know that we have a good roster and we might be keeping that money for others.
It's a hard thing to wrap your head around, you know
