I have been wondering if Haason Reddick could be the Fins' best pick at #22. He has proven production at the LB position. I read recently that McShay also sees him as a potentially good choice for the team.
Heard he's fast but small. If he's decent against the run then I'd be ok if not pass. Timmons will help but it was sickening last year when teams ran it down their throats.I have been wondering if Haason Reddick could be the Fins' best pick at #22.

I'm just wondering now if DE is the best position although Jordan's still a wildcard I guess.
If you are going to draft a LB in the first round he better be good all around. If not pass and go for another position like DE or FS.The Fins could sub Reddick in on passing downs. The problem with using sub packages is that teams like the Pats will us hurry up offenses so your players have to be versatile. DE Hayes will help stop the run along with Timmons.
Jenkins is a bit of a wildcard at LB. When he is healthy he makes a lot of plays but he's had problems staying healthy recently. Misi has also missed a lot of time with injuries throughout his career.
Actually surprised me but they could be simply driving up the price on buffalo. If they do in fact sign him they would only need depth at LB not sure 1st round would be used.The Fins are in negotiations with LB Z Brown. If that deal gets done the Fins would have a lot of flexibility going into the draft. The Fins may decide to get the best avail DT, or they could pick a safety. OG seems a bit high at # 22 however if Forrest Lamp is as good as advertised he could be worth considering.
The only downside of signing him would be that people would start calling our defense the Zach Brown Band. I am not a fan.
They had to keep Alonso they still have to draft a LB it would be a worse situation without him. Just as long as he stays healthy he'll be fine. He also said that he's ok playing OLB and is excited playing with Timmons which is great. Barnwell gave it a D+ because he was 100% sure he would be upset... idiot.Brown had a very good contract year and he's looking to cash in. He may be asking too much though. We'll see if the Bills match his demands.
I like the extension of Alonso. It seemed like every week he was making a big play. I like how the Fins are keeping nearly all of their core guys.

Agreed they have far less holes to fill and a lot of upside on not only the roster but from a coaching standpoint with a year under Gases belt. Heck even Jordan may surprise us and be that young passrusher they need.The Fins seldom get any recognition nationally for good decisions that they make. I think the Fins team this year looks to be a more talented team than last years playoff team. That said, the only way to prove the doubters wrong is to win.
So you are hoping for either LB, OG, DE or S early in the draft. I kinda stepped back from S as a need because of the McDonald signing and made DT more of a priority. Either way thanks I'll keep those names in mind.I'd be fine with a number of guys in Round One:
Cunningham
Reddick
Peppers
Lamp
Charlton
Bolles
Watt
and more
I'd still like FS Marcus Williams in Round 2. Maybe OG Dion Dawkins is we don't go OL in Round 1.

Odds are one player will slide through but should the Fins consider trading back for picks?
