I have watched some games... I'll gladly let a guy who tackles like Deion Sanders who doesn't cover anything like him walk for 9.5 million. Yes, I will.
You want a full 53 from me right now? LOL. As vain as you believe I am about my knowledge/intelligence I'm way too smart to even begin to think I know what our 53 will look like. I'll gladly post you my thoughts when I see these guys in the pre-season. You're basically asking me for a mock draft. I don't do those either. Waste of time and energy.
Would love to see Bush and Williams gone to free up more cap money to extend Jordy and Randall. I will not miss one guy's inability to tackle a sandwich and the other guy's inability to contribute on defense in anything but eclipse like regularity.

Since this thread was pretty much established in the spirit of a fun exercise, I think it should be just that, with all ideas out on the table. Not sure what I was thinking there, but I was wrong. I like Tramon Williams, and yeah, I have seen him blow some coverages. They all do at some point in games. I guess we just have different ideas about how good he really is. He is the veteran leader of this secondary. That is why I don't want us to get rid of him. Plus, I think he will play better with a more sound pass rush.
Personally, we've spent time on here calling for Capers head, etc., and I think he now has most of the players he needs to make this a very effective defense. We shall see. Lots of time left before the season starts.
It ought to be interesting to see how Ted calls his final 53 in a few months.
I have always liked House, and have really just wished he could stay healthy and perform at a high level. During last year's preseason he looked like a beast, and was really playing some great coverage. Not sure why he fell off like he did.
Bush, he's a polarizing player for sure. His only real saving grace is his punt and kick off coverage, and a veteran knowledge of the system as a backup DB.
Tramon Williams has indeed shown some ups and downs the last couple of seasons. I'm hoping for more ups from him this year.
Hayward, man, what a rookie year he had. Really like what he brings to our secondary. He's the ball hawk. For sure.
Hyde. What can we say? He showed some pretty damn good play for a rookie last season. Missed some coverages, but his work at the line of scrimmage in getting to the QB and stopping the run was just phenomenal.
Jumal Rolle looks like he has some promise. Again, kind of a ball hawk presence based on his work in college at Catawba where he had 6 INTs. A practice squad guy who has an opportunity to crack the lineup.
Demetri Goodson is looking better and better to me from the stuff I've read. Has a project like quality to him now, but who knows? Maybe he is able to contribute sooner than we might expect. I think he makes the roster just to protect him, as it seems he would probably be snatched from the PS if he were put there.
