#Nevermore

Jernigan will flourish in a one gap system. I am predicting now that the Cowboys will sign him next year and with Rod Marinelli he will be a Pro-Bowl player. He is a good player and inconsistent here, but this is not the system for him. At least we will get a 3rd rounder for him.

Neither Boldin or Aiken fit in Marty's west coast scheme. I don't see us signing either one of them. On another note. The Ravens have actually signed a free agent to a contract that is good for the Ravens. The Carr contract is perfect for a team that overpays for mediocre players. Team options each year for a 30 year old corner. Very smart this time around.

I don't know about these signings. I'm not sold on Jefferson, we overpaid for Williams and what was the point of adding Woodhead. Jefferson may have the same opportunities in this scheme as opposed to Arizona's. Dean Pees is not Todd Bowles or James Bettcher. I haven't seen him come with any exotic looks. Granite he doesn't have the corners that Arizona had either. We will have to see if Pees uses him well. We could've signed Poe for half of what was given to Williams. A guy who is just as athletic. Poe does need to be motivated sometimes, but there is not a drastic difference between the two. Both are 2 down players and with the depth we have on the D-line, Poe will probably play better that he did in KC because of less snaps. We need a back who can take a 5 yard run and make it a 70 yard touchdown. That is not Woodhead. He is a 32 year old back coming off an ACL tear. We know it takes a year after recovery to be a full strength, so that will be in 2018. He is a scatback. We will draft or pickup another back with speed so that will gives us...6 half backs. I just think this was an attempt to save Harbaugh's and Ozzie's but, which I can understand. We need to build this team through the draft and use free agents sparingly.

I am happy for Brandon he is a genuine person and likes to have fun. However, 52 million for a guy who isn't 3 down player? I thought they could've signed Poe for 20 million less and half the guaranteed money. I hope it works out. He is entering his prime years, so he should be at his best.

I am very happy for him. He deserved it.

Why in the world would we want Prince Anukamara? Hensley says he's just like Jimmy Smith because he can't stay healthy and he failed to record more than one interception in 5 of the past 6 seasons. What is the rationale to sign him, to be Shareece Wright 2.0? We don't need to sign anymore mediocre players and especially at DB.

I would sign Mangold on the fact he hasn't given up a sack in 33 games and he knows how to run block by playing in a system that heavily featured the run game under Rex Ryan. I'm sure Roman wants Mangold too. Also I like veteran centers like Mangold who can help sort out the protection up front because, for some reason, Flacco seems surprised each time the blitz comes. He is not great at calling protections and Mangold will help with that. He would also be a good mentor for a center we draft for the future. Of course all of this is predicated on him being healthy, which is true of anyone brought in.

He is not a downgrade. Injury and quarterback play has a role in the offensive line. He was injured last year, he had terrible quarterback play, but still hasn't given up a sack in 33 games. He was named to the pro bowl the two years before last year. Definitely an upgrade.

"Aiken"...really. I'll pass.

I know he will not be back next year, but if he were a free agent (not restricted) last year instead of this year, we would've overpaid for him like we tend to do with mediocre players. We even gave him a second round tender last year. We should've given him a 4th round tender and hoped someone took him off our hands. We have to stop stocking up on mediocre players. Players who specialize in nothing. Aiken fits that mold.

I was thinking the same thing. :-) Me three.

JuJu is going to be a playmaker period. He is a fiery guy that backs it up with his play. If I need to pick a receiver, I would pick him or Williams from Clemson.

I saw that guy during the senior bowl practices. He is a very solid blocker and caught some passes out of the backfield. I like him and I agree that he would be a good pickup.

I was thinking the same thing. I like Timmons. The Steelers will move on from him with the emergence of Shazier. That may be a good move, but he is 30.
