ORIGINAL: Bill Johanesen It's also quite possible Kwesi continues to whiff in the draft and his 4th year is a lame duck season. I don't fault him too much for free agent misses or a lack of an influx of talent because he had to deal with an upside down cap situation. But contracts like $13 million for Davenport, of which $7 million in dead cap counts against the upcoming cap? Really? I think that had Flores written all over it. If so, keep Flores away from the available FA list. This is my new and improved plan. This is my great hope. That Kwesi wakes up tomorrow morning and says to himself, ‘I suck.’ And in the shower afterwards, between his loofaing and his Armani body rejuvenation rinsing, he continues, ‘Do I suck because I suck or do I suck because ownership has tied my hands and ruined my chance to not suck?’ And then afterwards, while spreading cavier on eggos, ‘Screw them, if I’m going down I’m going down my way.’ Hire SFs 2nd in command personnel person (who Kwesi should know) to head our personne dept. This person is sitting next to Kwesi in the draft room, not Kevin. Steal away the best college scouting personnel that cousin Lenny can intimidate to come over. Our personnel dept, especially our college scouting dept should be the focus of our organization. That doesn’t guarantee anything but it improves our risk and brings in a different type of player than we we’ve seeing since the Spielman era. I would take play calling duties away from Kevin and tell him you need him ‘focused on the big picture.’ Find someone over aggressive that has to learn to pick and choose ehen to throttle it back … not someone who has to figure out when to play nice or not. I’m not signing any veterans until after the draft when prices drop. No Cousins. No Hunter. Release Harry, Bradbury. Release the 2022 draft class but put their picture on the refrigerator as a ‘get skinny’ reminder for Kwesi. Trade JJ. Tade O’Neill. Before the draft, if I’m going to sign a young second tier FA to a 3 yr deal, its going to be a DL like Wonnum. My other purchase is more critical, a ‘decent’ backup QB. Draft a Qb and CB in the first rd. Draft an edge and DT in the second rd. Draft a CB and G in the third. Draft a OL and DL in the fourth … etc etc blah blaf QB, DL, OL, CB. Kevin is duct-taped in the corner so the’ll be no TEs this draft. [Plan A in draft form. Next iteration in 5 minutes.] Funny stuff aside, it's a great plan (but the only holdover OL would be Darrisaw lol). Time for the franchise to put their big boy pants on!
