Not sure if its the SB afterglow or not but right now I'm feeling a need to resign anyone. I'm kinda content to sit in the back sit and watch JS and MM do their thing. Not that I have any choice otherwise but ya, feeling pretty good that they'll make it work! Haha.
Letting both CBs walk would be risky. If one replacement turns out to be Cary Williams, Mike can shuffle and coach around the situation. Pick up two CWs, and the defensive chain snaps.
I suppose that math might help here. Meaning: What's the probability of finding another guy with the same "want-to" of Jobe, and how easy (or difficult) is it to replicate the same approach with a different guy. The math on corners suggests that it's feasible to find decent, serviceable backups and even marginal starters for less. But you might also argue that the Rams just missed the chance on the SB banking on just such a backfield. Consider instead how well the Pats' secondary played against JSN. Maybe this argues that their system is the real star, not just Christian Gonzales. Sure, but I still fear the quick devolution because I think you need two very strong secondary members complimenting a star, to make that secondary less leaky. It doesn't have to be a Jobe, or a Woolen, certainly. But because we have seen a revolving door of meh there's definitely a hazard that letting both walk doesn't get you back to baseline and teams pick apart Seattle next season by just avoiding Spoon. You also have to think that Julian Love probably has one more season at his high bar, and so as usual, it's not just the single player signing you have to concern yourself with. It's the versatility of that chess piece in relation to all the other pieces.
Jo-bee definitely should be the priority and re-signed if he doesn’t cross that line in the sand set by JS (he will be speaking today at 11am pacific time) They should draft a CB in either round 1,2 or 3, and then there’s the chance Marlon Humphrey is this year’s Shaq Griffin. If the Rams take a CB at 13 and not 29, there’s a chance Colton Hood is there at 32. If they look for CB at 64, D’Angelo Ponds could be there.
If they go Edge at 32, TJ Parker or Zion Young. If they go edge at 64 Gabe Jacas or Derrick Moore.
Feels like you have up to four high priority positions to fill and not enough early picks to be satisfied.
I need to get a better sense of urgency (pending FA news), draft depth (developing) and FO approach (BPA vs need).
But I would be upset if we ended up completely overlooking WR in the first 100 picks. Far prefer that we were able to turn those first three rounds into four Day 2 picks in some form and manage to address Edge, CB, WR and RB. One can dream...
Until we find out who gets retained, K9, Shaheed, Jobe, etc… it’s too early to determine the priority of our position needs. If K9 gets a contract, I would not take a RB until day 3. If Shaheed comes back and they feel good about Horton’s health, they can wait until round 3 to think about WR. D-law is old, Chenna is a potential cap casualty, Mafe is most likely gone. Maybe they sign Chubb? But edge is a huge need even if they do. D Hall could leave after this coming season. For CB, I don’t think they are comfortable with Pritchett as CB 3. Maybe they get Humphrey from the Ravens? Both edge and CB are what I see as the best use of day one and two picks.
I’m all for re-signing Jobe. Right attitude, good performance. And he WON’T cost as much as Woolen to keep in the fold.
I get that we can’t and shouldn’t try to keep the band together. I’m good with letting some of them go (see ya later Woolen, Mafe, and likely Bryant). But I don’t think MM wants too much turnover in the D backend.
I kind of thrilled Jobe doesn’t get as much recognition as others. Maybe that keeps his price affordable.
If'n Mr. Josh Jobe has a reasonable Cap hit then fine, he understands that this is a good situation for all conserned. Re-sign him. If another team wants to way overpay him, then Thanks! 'n move on. Seahawks will be ok.
Yeah, I think it’s all about the $. If we can afford it, do it (sign Jobe & Woolen). If we can afford only one, then probably Jobe due to personality concerns. Otherwise, I guess you let both go and trust that you can fill the gap.
To me, this comes down to moving on Bryant AND Jobe AND Woolen. OK, you still have your two best DBs (plus Okada, although I’m skeptical of him as a 17-game starter). But adequately replacing all three?
Bryant and Woolen are likely gone, so keeping Jobe even at a premium sounds like a good idea to me. I’d hate to see the Hawks wind up with Rams-level CBs.

Love “revolving door of meh”.

That's exactly what I was thinking...'More valuable and yet he might be paid less because of reputations' that sounds like a Johnny Value move to me.
Neither
