about Martinez, it's starting to seem like the classic coach bringing in players they've already worked with type of situation. Just went through it with Betcher, hope it works out better and he can get better LB play out of these guys.
that's pretty eye opening. Here's a quick scouting report on him from Daniel Jeremiah after he got picked in round 3 a few years ago:
Quote:
DRAFT ANALYSIS:
"He is very loose and bendy to wrap around blocks and pursue from the back side. He's versatile in the passing game. He can run and mirror tight ends and he's an explosive blitzer. Overall, this is a very athletic edge defender with the ability to make plays on all three downs." -- Daniel Jeremiah
This really does seem very Golden-ish. I like high upside moves like this one.
But I hate the one year deals. The good news is - if he sucks, they have no financial obligation to him. But the bad news is - if he does well, will be a challenge/expensive to re-sign him...
That could be this years Markus Golden. Fackrell had 10.5 sacks two seasons ago under Patrick Graham. If he doesn’t work out there is no long term commitment. As JonC pointed out they need to add another OLB to compete with Ximines and Carter.
My choice is Zack Bain in round 2.
I know everyone thinks draft setting up for an OT but I see Simmons
as the perfect fit. Right now they have 3 off ball LB's (Connelly, Mayo, Martinez) and 3 outside LB's (Carter, Ximines, Fackrell).
An elite coverage LB'er, who can blitz, move to the middle of the field, and cover slots occasionally, seems like the perfect piece to move around in the defense.
I don't think Fackrell signs a 1 year deal somewhere he's not going to get a good shot at a lot of playing time.

You might be right; you can’t count on Connelly to be fully recovered just yet and it is possible that Carter moves inside, as many on the board have suggested.
Getting similar vibes to the Golden signing.
@AdamSchefter
Former Packers’ LB Kyler Fackrell to Giants on a 1-year, $4.6 million deal, per source.

or Martin & Bethea?

Probably somewhere in the 30M range without any restructures or changes, so..they have plenty

Go away troll
Enough. Relax.
You think Fackrell is going to start?
I'd like to see Jenkins and Karras in the mix.

can't see them gifting it to Carter or X, at this time.

As of now yes
You should try harder to hide the fact that you’re a troll.

I don't know about that. As of now I'd say he's competition.
You truly are the board’s biggest asshole.

Not over-investing in one dimensional inside LBs that don't seem the best fits in today's style of play...

Somebody has to start and there aren't very many multi-dimension players out there. The few that are cost a lot and have heavy competition.

He’s the best OLB they have on the roster at the moment.
