This is the way I would have played out the offseason if it was me...
I don't have a problem with anyone that was cut other than I would have cut LJ too, he's overpaid for a RB and I'd have dumped that money.
I think we should have signed Jason Brown we'd be overpaying for a center but we're in position to do it and we have the worst center in the league. I would have also looked at Ray Willis who ended up staying in Seattle as a backup for a reasonable price but those 2 guys would have been worth signs.
I would have taken Sanchez with the top pick...Britton with the 2 who is a prototypical RT prospect. 3rd rounder I'd have gone with a personal favorite of mine in Jared Cook. In round 4 I'm going with the DE Lawrence Sidbury followed up in round 5 with Duke Robinson, In round 6 I'm going James Davis to replace LJ who I cut. In the 7th I'd have taken Dannell Ellerbee.
Now I know you're going to look at that and think our D still sucks though but here's the thing next year has elite D prospects if we would stick in 4-3 Dorsey is in his spot and you can put Carlos Dunlap a true elite pass rushing end prospect next to him...
I think we should have hired a DC from the Eagles and put that D scheme in, they make blah LB's look good and that scheme works, it'd be better than going 3-4.
