That is outstanding news. Is this because of off season workouts coming up? |

Not that Fletcher needs them, but what a huge boost to the rest of the defense to have him there! |

Getting this deal done would really set the tone for the draft. I think that the front office has done a nice job going out and addressing holes (esp. in the secondary) and have brought in an number of guys to compete for spots in camp.
Now they'll be able to target some linemen and have a little leeway to maybe grab one or two "best available" guys in a few rounds.
I'm excited to see the final 53 when all is said and done. |

Well, seems like we have brought in a bunch of secondary personnel......as I thought this was one of the needs that our team had, wonder how this alters the perspective of our draft as many though that secondary would garner some attention at that time. Looks like OL and ILB....then, as 44diesel noted, can have an eye toward best player available.....maybe another TE, maybe RB? Some positions that I thought we would not look at may be on the FO agenda after all.
What I like BEST about all this is it actually seems like the FO has a GAME PLAN, and are implementing it. Even though we got the high, hard one from the NFL and Mara, we are still filling in our holes, making trades that make sense, not horribly overpaying for talent. After far too many seasons of trading draft picks and overpaying for over-the-hill talent, nice to see some positive moves for the past couple of off-seasons. |

I really admire Bruce and Mike's "5 year plan." There's been some bumps in the road for sure, but they've stayed the course and are building a young, fast, hungry football team.
We haven't had a front office like this since the days of Bethard and Casserly... it's nice! |

Brandon Merriweather - Solid SS who can hit & Cover. Been to Pro Bowl
Madeiu Williams - Solid FS - Solid is all
Tanard Jackson - Potential Pro Bowl Caliber S who can play FS
DeJon Gomes - Emerging Talent
Cedric Griffin - Corner who can play FS
Doughty - Solid emergency guy, like only play him if everyone but him as the flu.

OK, I keep hearing that Haslett's system needs a monster of a safety. Do we really have that...???
I know Merriweather was top knotch, could be again. But I know little about Williams and Jackson.
Are we really set here or is this a case of slinging a lot of mud at the wall and seeing what sticks...???
Convince me Hogster!!!! |

I think with the addition of Raheem Morris to the staff and the type of players they're picking up. Its going to look more like a Tampa 2 or cover2 behind a 3-4 front.
IMO the corners will be the weakness here. I'm ok with Wilson but, Hall plays the ball instead of the man too much for my taste. Giving Hall's knack for playing the ball, moving him to safety in this system might be a better fit.
The safety wont need to be a thumper in this system. double rover, no monster. But we MUST be able to play man on the corner. None of that 5 yard cushion nonsense. |
