Timmons

What rookie draft pick would L. Timmons be worth?

That's a tough question since most owners concentrate more on the offensive players during rookie drafts. It really depends on whether there is an owner in need of a LB who is somewhat set with his offensive players. Where did Timmons rank at LB in your scoring system?

Timmons is more an LB2 imo. some may tell you he has upside but will I'm not sure. That defensive line is in rebuild mode, imo. When you include the rookie LB's available I'd start with a 3rd, maybe offer a 2nd based on who else is available for the rookies. Don't overpay, the offensive lines will be able to get to him more this year, imo.

I have a guy that is willing to deal him. He asked if he was available in our draft where he would go. I said 3rd. But he thought he'd go much higher. Im just trying to put something together if I can to trade for him.

Looking at your current LB's, you don't really need Timmons IMO. Keep your pick.

^^^. For some reason I'm nervous about my lbs. I think I have some question marks like what will Lofton's role be? Will Poz be healthy? Where will Boley be playing?

Don't worry about Lofton. Everything I've heard says he will be a 3 down LB in NO. Poz is an injury concern but what LB isn't these days. Smith, Boley, Levy, Spikes, Chaney, Connor....... you have nothing to worry about at LB IMO.

And then this gets reported on Rotoworld.

Interim coach Joe Vitt suggested LB Curtis Lofton would move to the strong side when Jonathan Vilma is healthy and in the lineup.

If Vilma is suspended, as expected, Lofton will move back
to the middle with David Hawthorne on the weak side and Scott Shanle on
the strong side. Chris Chamberlain, signed away from the Rams, could end
up competing for snaps with Shanle.

If Lofton is playing on the strong side, I'm not so sure he will be ok.

I think Vilma will get suspended, but how long is the big question. Goodell is going to come down hard and a lot of the Saints defenders are going to be sitting out a few games, I think Vilma and Harper are going to get hit the hardest. My best guess would be 6-8 games for Vilma.

I could see Vilma getting a year off. Just a hunch.

I have a feeling Vilma is getting a year as well. I'm hoping that happens for my sake.

Anyway, I have on offer out where I would send Lofton and get C. McCarthy.

I think you are selling Lofton low. Just my opinion on it. I'd wait to see what happens in NO first.

I think I am selling him a little low as well, but I think I'd rather let someone deal with trying to figure out NO lbs. plus I think McCarthy has top 5 lb upside.

i agree with mccarthy upside...

I'd grab that one. Yes it's risky and Lofton will be the MLB for at least eight games I'd guess, but at SLB he won't be able to compete with an MLB.

...I have to add, I'm not convinced Lofton will be a 3 down LB and we know Vilma isn't anymore...jes' sayin'.

I have a hard time believing that NO signed Lofton to be a SLB. I think Vilma is on his way out of NO with the mess going on there. Vilma recently restructured his contract and I think all signs are he will be suspended for a year and then shown the door in NO. Lofton has a better chance at holding down the MLB role than anyone else in NO.

I like McCarthy as much as everyone else but selling Lofton for him is a mistake IMO. That's selling Lofton low IMO and could come back to bite the owner down the road.

I know it's risky. The guys hasn't responded to me in a couple of days. Which with this owner it usually means he is giving it some serious thought.

What do you guys think of D. Johnson? I think I could possible flip Lofton for Johnson. Is this something I should look into more?

Would you have any chance at getting a LB like Willis, Bishop, D'Qwell, Laurinaitis, DJ Williams or Bowman? I'd package Lofton with a pick or one of your lower ended LB's for one of these guys.

Howdy, Stranger!
