The Phinsider
Following the NFL draft, I asked the following question:
Following the draft, which other positions do you want Chris Grier to address via the remaining free agents or even possibly via a trade, from the list above or a position I did not mention, between now and the beginning of training camp, and why?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers to the PQOTD-
SlayerNation1 believes there are just too many holes to fill at this point adequately.
Playing Devil’s Advocate for a moment: there was no way Grier could fill all the holes adequately, due to the sheer number. That said, the Ramsey situation seems to be of the impetuous “Ready… Fire…Aim” variety. Which throughout history, is always followed by a “oops, I didn’t think that through”.
Yarganaught says with the obvious hole at corner, perhaps the team should give X a call.
Sure, more depth is always needed, but the only glaring hole I see is at CB. What is Howard doing these days?
Miami1966 wants a full turnover from the top to the bottom, it seems.
Head Coach, Scouting, and GM. New owners would be nice as well. If not, an additional safety would help
MIAMI235 points out that the entire secondary is a big, worrisome question.
As James brings up some needs filled in. ( Perhaps better than expected) Secondary still, worthy of the Word …. Yikes!
sdphinsfan correctly states that the roster building over the last several years has been haphazard and that the coaching staff will determine the team's real state during the season.
Troubleshooting this roster at this point is near impossible. Part of it is we’re going to be relying on some young players to do some important things. If they come through, we’ll be fine. If not, well, there’s another hole to fill. The other thing is there is no 5 year plan or view for maintaining and continually building this roster. It’s hap hazard and has been since 2019 (and even well before that).
This last draft was critical. We paid some much needed attention to the trenches that should pay off. Next year, we’ll be able to move on from big contracts, and we’ll have some decent draft capital to work with. We need to make a continual effort to build through the draft, not just one year, but every year. FA is important, but it shouldn’t be the focus as much as it has been for the last 25 years.
As for 2025, the secondary is a concern. But when it comes to the Division, it isn’t the biggest one. The Bills, Jets, and Pats are going to be “run first” teams. It’s what they are and how they’re built. Take that away, and you have a chance. Don’t take that away and it doesn’t matter what you have in the secondary. You’re going to get beat. If we can compete physically and take aware their run, we’ll...
