Good read. I really hope its a nuts and bolt draft and free agency, we need O line and D line help like crazy. I know we need secondary help as well, but it will be hard to cover them all this year. Although I wouldn't be upset if we talked to Jerry Porter and saw where his head is and if he could be happy in South Beach. He can flat out play when he's got his head right and could be a big upgrade from Booker or Hagan, plus it would keep us out of chasing Chad Johnson and Javon Walker etc. allowing us to keep our picks.

Thank you Miss Mary. First time I have seen Jerry Porter's name mentioned. That is an interesting thought...also the kid I want to see in Miami isnt on that list. Bryant Johnson from the Cardinals.

Welcome Kenny. Doing my best to find fresh stories about the fins in the morning. Can't leave it all to John. :-)

Just looked up Johnson's stats, here they are:

Not bad considering he's the 3rd wheel out there, and the best part would be I bet he wouldn't break the bank. -
This IS the FA WR we want. He has been nothing short of spectacular, has an incredible attitude and has all the tools. He has very good speed for his size, great hands, blocks well downfield, isnt brash everytime he picks up a first down and is absolute CLUTCH.
He would complement Ginnn and to a lesser degree Hagan very well.
Dont forget the two reasons he is the Cardinals third WR....Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald:up:like2god likes this. -

Larry Fitzgerald has a $15 million cap number this season coming and Quan Boldin's contract is due next season. They will let Bryant go.Georgia Fin likes this. -
Agreed, and though Fitz is almost certain to restructure and prolong his Cards career, he , Quan and what Bryant is gonna make is TOO much for one team to invest in WR. Bryant will not be back in Arizona next year. -

I want Drayton Florence from SD and it would be nice to steal possibly Eugene Wilson from the Pats. As for reciever, if we dont possibly land Berrian, I would like to get Gage. He is tall and has pretty good hands. I wouldnt mind Corey Williams of Green Bay for DT or Sopoaga. ....... this is all i would want if we fall through getting some of the big name FA's

Drayton Florence would be a nice addition at the similar price we got Will Allen a few years ago. I mean, he didn't really "lose" his starting job; I believe he was injured and Cromartie stepped up and had an All Pro season. That's not on Florence, it's just a major surge by Cromartie. I've always valued Florence as an underrated CB. He's not a shutdown guy obviously, but he's a pretty good one.
Actually, I wouldn't mind signing both Florence & Reeves (at a cheap price). If both pan out, then that would allow Will Allen to resurface at the nickel. His quickness would be perfect going up against slot guys like Wes Welker.
Nonetheless, we need 2 CB's because Travis Daniels shouldn't even be on the roster next year -- at all. -
-
the only thing worrisome about Florence is his tendency to get stupid personal fouls. Not for late hits or face masks, but just stupid things.
One instant that comes to mind is last year in the playoffs, the Chargers stop the Pats on 4th down and Florence gets up and head buts a Pats player giving NE a first and they would eventually score.
