We will see some moves at that point.
Exactly. I mean, I have no idea what our own conversations have been/not been with the likes of Hernandez, Scherff, or Risner. But Hetnandez likely cannot pass a physical, so he likely is not gonna sign soon. Risner signs late almost every year, and it looks like Scherff is waiting until after the draft to try and sign forcthe most money he can (Risner, too).
Teams are not gonna vough up big $$ when they coukd still land a younger, cheaper player in a week.
Plus, Scherff has been a RG all his career. IDK about the history on Risner & Hernandez, but the both took every snap at RG last year as well. That is fine is we get Jackson or a left sided guy, but what about, say Ratledge? If we sogn Scherff tomorrow, then do we have to pass on Ratledge?
I'd much rather see how the draft breaks and then allocate our linited FA $$ accordingly. RG, LG, SS, FS, DE, RB, etc.
If Risner/Hernandez have a history of playing on the left at a similar level, then I don't care. But if they are both very much RGs, then I want to see how the draft goes first. And I'd prefer guys with LG or left side experience (Jackson, Zabel, Savaiinaea, Fairchild) over the RG guys (Booker, Ratledge).
