I would only disagree with Safety being or greatest need. We could have Ed Reed in his prime and with our front 7 our secondary would suck. We can do more to improve our Safety play, but fixing what is up front.

Not sure who, but I would like to see maybe 3 Dlineman brought in to create serious competition in the trenches and create a deep rotation of bodies to cycle through and keep fresh.

There are still a couple of mid-range Safetys out there, as has been pointed out. Sooner, not later is the time to go after one. And high in the draft is a good time to get an ILB.

If we go the safety route, we are one injury from the same place, if we add multiple up front, we have more room for error.

They did make one signing, not sure who, heard it on the radio, signed the guy to a 42 mil contract but he failed his physical so the contract was voided.

There is massive money spent in the first week to ten days of free agency. I don't want the Packers any part of it unless it is another Reggie White type player. It is insane some of these deals we are seeing. Maybe large portions are signing bonuses that will be prorated? Either way, a free agent is a free agent for a reason.

I'm looking for the Packers to grab someone on the DL that's more of a tier 2 talent and will pay him tier 3 money. The Packers aren't a future hall of famer away from being legit Super Bowl threats. They are a few average to good defensive starters away.

I wonder how long the tier 2 talent is going to last.

Why do I fear that "Tier 2" for Ted means B J Raji?

On the other hand, what is the likelihood that there will be three DL brought in? Or would you count, say, Raji, as one of three if he re-signed? What about Neal? Does he count as 1/3 of the 3 you are hoping for?

Or are you also counting draft choices in your three?

Just wondering.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (19h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (19h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (19h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (19h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (19h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (19h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (19h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (19h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (19h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (19h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (19h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (19h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (19h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (20h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (20h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (20h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (20h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (20h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (20h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (20h) : This might be the kill shot here
