FA and Draft with Spotrac numbers (1 Viewer)

We were insane for going into last season without a skilled veteran presence at CB. We'd be equally stupid this year if we once again ride with a bunch of unproven players, half of which can't seem to ever stay healthy.

Ultimate emphasis on the skilled part. Can't have another Brandon Browner situation.
 
I updated the players that intrigued me. I’ve included a draft of where I feel a player will go. Most of the FAs are already on the roster, I think Denard Robinson can offer what Spiller was supposed to. The others I consider mid-level with a lot of potential. I don’t believe any will break the bank. I’m also interested to see if Jacksonville does a major housecleaning.

I would be intrigued to let Bortles sit for a year and learn the offense. I also think that we signed a bunch of OL last year because this is a weak class. The numbers are from NFL 2017 Team Cap Space Tracker | Spotrac

We Currently have 55 players under contract, I have 19 FA that I think should be re-signed totalling $21,748,355 in 2016 wages roughly leaving $14.5/M for raises or going for other FAs.
Total Cap Cap Space Assumes $168/M cap $141,070,018 36,207,755

Round 1:
Deshone Kizer-QB- Notre Dame- I seriously doubt he is there, but you take a franchise qb if you think one is available. I really don’t want him, but wanted be upset either.
Jabrill Peppers-S-Michigan- I’ve seen him as high as 5 and as low as 23, I predict no lower than 12

This post is a joke right??? Mo Claiborne is trash, Paea NO, Robinson maybe (3rd down back, KR/PR) Kruger? BW Webb???, bro we got like almost 40 million to spend after restructures. If we were like -30 million and had to make cuts sure but we are not bargain and dumpster diving this year, we are not buying a Honda civic we are in the market for Ferrari's and Lambos.
