What are some free agents that you guys would like to see as a raider. Me suh or murray
Not Murray. Maybe Suh, I'd want him more for the attitude than the play. Been awhile since I've seen our defense with some nastiness and some fight...not since Sapp, at the very least.
Some names to throw out there:
Justin Forsett, Knowshon Moreno. Both RBs showed flashes last season, and our RB situation is unknown at best. If we don't intend on targeting an RB early in the draft, I'd like to see us go after one of these guys. Both have a lot to prove.
Jeremy Maclin, Eddie Royal, Cecil Shorts. WRs that I feel would add an explosive dynamic to the team. I haven't seen as much of shorts as the other two, but Maclin and Royal are both guys who play the deep ball quite well. That should give the offense that big play power, give us the option of going deep and force defenses to play more honest, keeping safeties back and opening up the running game.
I like our front 7, so no real targets there for FA. Would be down to pick up some prospect type draft picks for the DL though, have some great vets who can drop serious knowledge on younger players. If we switch schemes to a 3-4, we might want to add a LB or two.
Obviously the secondary needs a lot of help, so I'd like to see that addressed as well (especially SS, Tyvon Branch has been dead weight), but that depends on how much faith the administration has in our younger CBs...Hayden, McGill, Checkwa, etc. Where are these guys going, up or down? I think the FA signing period will answer a lot of questions in terms of where this administration wants to focus.
