Post draft FA targets


So this was quite a weekend huh boys? The draft was pretty interesting, and we did a lot. It's now time we move into the next phase of the offseason, that is Post Draft FA. We still have some work to do, although we did a fantastic job in adding talent to just about every spot on the team.

However two positions could use a little bit of love. ILB and OG. Now I can see us rolling in without doing anything, particularly at OL where we need development from the guys we have more then anything, but let's look at some FAs that can come in on the cheap, and provide some decent depth, maybe even be a prudent signing.

Guards

1) Trai Tuner- let's start with the big name on the board. If he is able to get back to his old self even 70%, it would be a great get. He can probably take a spot, and leave less to chance.

2) Nick Easton- he's been a pretty decent guy, and lost his job due to the Saints just having better players at his spot.

3) Jermaine Eluemunor- Now he can be a steal. He's 27, and has a PFF grade of 68. He played for the Pats so Judge knows him also. If there were a guy to pick up, it's him. He's also versatile, he can play both guard spots, and both tackle spots, so he improves quality and depth on the OL. The reason he shook loose was because he went down with an ankle injury for a few weeks, and then Michael Onwenu basically locked up the spot he had.

Linebacker

1) Kwon Alexander- he has had some injury troubles, and Fred Warner exists which got him shaken loose. But to come here on the cheap next to Martinez might serve as a way for him to reestablish his value.

2) Avery Williamson- I believe he's also coming off injury? I'm not sure, but he's been very productive for a while, and would also plug in nicely.

Going through the available FAs, if we were to make a few more moves throughout the summer, I find both Eluemunor and Williamson to be the best pick ups for us. They fill in potential weak spots for us on the team and may end up giving some real value in terms of production. Eluemunor in particular if he sticks can be here for more then one season based on his age. Eluemunor would be the top target for me right now after reading the market, and we may be able to get him cheap.
