2nd FA Wave

[lightsout42]

Edge rotation #1, RT insurance #2. Go ahead and try out a few more punters too.

This is my thought too. Definitely need solid Edge rotation and depth. Would be preferable to grab a vet RT for competition/depth. And a punter or two to compete.

I believe that TT & BS will watch the waiver wire VERY closely up to and after June 1st. The areas of need are completely liquid IMHO and changes are a comin.......

My vote is Trey Flowers.
I want some EDGE setting, run defense, leadership.
He has size, and a ring.
A perfect dude to spell Bosa/Mack.
Not nearly as much pass rush juice, but role responsibilty is there.
Rumph the Younger + Mr Quads n Calfs bring da juice out there on the EDGE.

I don't think you sign Aboushi, though I did like the guy. They are not going to move Feiler out to RT....silver lining? We have gone from no interior line depth to outstanding and versatile interior line depth.

I think we roll with what we have, and our RT, due to an overall better team across the board, will have far less trouble out there. BUT....I would certainly be ok with a surprise vet upgrade, send Storm packing with my thanks for his effort, and let Pip and the vet mash it out.

That or an edge addition. I don't like Egbule or Davis to impress....but maybe we will be surprised.

In agreement with you again LB.

Oday Aboushi. If the Chargers don't want to move Feiler to RT (stubborn)... then move Zion to RT. It would give Zion a veteran presense (ala Feiler/Slater). Maybe Pipkins has miraculously improved. Hard for me to fathom... having seen his prior play. Even if he has improved, he's a free agent at season's end.

I would also like to see Justin Jackson re-signed. Let Spiller take one of Kelly/Roundtree roster spots.

For me, when they drafted Zion I though they would move Feiler to RT, Zion LG, and Aboushi at RG and our line was done. At least the starters.

[Chargers8491]

From what I gathered from Staley's presser after the draft they will look at edge, oline, and maybe lb'er from the 2nd wave of FAs.

[beachcomber]

if they sign Aboushi, that would prolly affect a roster spot @RB/FB or OT ??
on D, they could add another NT, either bring Linval back or sign someone like Danny Shelton, and.... we need another edge, someone like Takkarist McKinley ??
the guess is that would take the CB group back down to 5, if we added two DL ??

There just happens to be a decent crop of edge rushers still available (which my explain why it wasn't a priority in the draft).

Jadeveon Clowney 29
Trey Flowers 29
Melvin Ingram 33
Justin Houston 33
Jerry Hughes 34
Jason Pierre-Paul 34

There are others, but these are the players that stand out to me. Yeah, some of these guys are older, but in a very limited role as back ups, playing just a few snaps per game, I think they can still be effective.

If they really want to add someone, looking at Jerry Hughes or Justin Houston as situational rushers looks like it might be good. Then they can move Bosa around more to gain mismatches, and it would still give Rumph a chance to play on earlier downs, and still rotate in on passing downs if he is developing the moves.

Clowney and Flowers are good players, but they are both looking for starting jobs, not to play 2nd fiddle to Mack and Bosa.

If I brought back Ingram it would be to play goalline MLB, not to be a situational pass rusher. He still adds a little, but not much.

JPP only thing going for him is that he typically plays better every other year, and last year was a bad year for him. But he has a long list of on-field injuries, including the bad shoulder that limited him last year. He also has the very public off-field injuries. But unless he has Lee Major's doctor ($6 mill dollar man reference), I can't see him being a big help, even as a situational rusher.

The only name that really looked good to me that is not on the list is Anthony Barr, and while he has not been used as a pass rusher much in the NFL was viewed as one of the best edge rushers in his draft class, and didn't do much of that because of Minn always had a strong group at edge. He is probably looking for a starting gig, but at this point there are several better options ahead of the list, and while he doesn't have much experience as a edge rusher, he has been a good LB for Minn and sets a pretty good edge vs the run. But given his recent injuries, it would have to be a cheap contract.

Would like another vet WR (J. Landry maybe),

Depth at Edge, ILB

I don’t see us getting another ILB after signing Reeder already. It’s depth at Edge and CB.

[Xenos]

How many full season has MW played ?
We play a lot of 3 WR formation
2nd wave FA wont break the bank IMO
we should sign one more WR IMO
To compete with Palmer and Guyton

We signed DeAndre Carter. I think that’s it for WR unless an injury happens.

Oday Aboushi. If the Chargers don't want to move Feiler to RT (stubborn)... then move Zion to RT. It would give Zion a veteran presense (ala Feiler/Slater). Maybe Pipkins has miraculously improved.

I would also like to see Justin Jackson re-signed. Let Spiller take one of Kelly/Roundtree roster spots.

Given Jackson’s durability issues, I don’t see it yet.

RT is an interesting conundrum. But I still think a vet RT to compete in camp like Reilly or Daryl Williams.
