Thoughts on FA Zach Brown, Chris Baker, and Riley Reiff

these guys seem like they could be good pick ups for us and I haven't seen them discussed on the board yet
quotes taken from NFL.com list of FA
I don't think either would be a bad add but im sure someone can explain if why not
and
I know we need guard more then tackle but good blind side tackles are not easy to find and well worth having aren't they?

quote:
Zach Brown, Buffalo Bills linebacker: It's unlucky for Brown that Rex Ryan is out of the league just after Brown's breakout season playing in the Ryan brothers' system. There is a big drop-off in the inside linebacker market after Brown.
quote:
Chris Baker, Washington Redskins defensive end: Still on the right side of the age-30 barrier, Baker is coming off back-to-back seasons as the Redskins' most disruptive defensive lineman.
I don't think either would be a bad add but im sure someone can explain if why not
and
quote:
Riley Reiff, Detroit Lions offensive tackle: Reiff is pushed up this list by the scarcity at tackle. He can play on either side of the line and would upgrade plenty of blind-side situations around the league.

We have Armstrong and Peat not to mention Kelemete to play LT. So umm...

I won't comment on Brown or Baker just because I really haven't followed them, though I do remember hearing good things about Brown last year. As for Reiff, I would be all for it but it would create a log jam at OL. Unless maybe he could play G for a year or so until Strief hangs them up?

Baker is a 3-4 DE. 6'4" 320

We could use a guard not a tackle

I completely agree with that but drew spent a lot of time on his butt the last two years when protection broke down and the guys we have kept getting beat (granted some of that was injury related) so I don't see where its not worth a look if he can be an "upgrade" over any of those guys or just a rotational guy to spell them or injury backup. if not then yes we pass but I don't see the talent level of the guys we have now being talked about the same way as his talent level is mentioned.
maybe im wrong but I feel more and better pass protection for drew at his age is critical to our success

Zach Brown is really good would be lucky to get him...imo

I think Brown is a good player....not sure he is a fit for our D though. We should go all out for a Gaurd like Zietler if he is available. I think we can address D in draft and solidify our o line. If we don't get offensive FA, we know CSP will use draft picks on offense.

We already know how csp functions, if it's a need he will address it come free agency. That way, he can go bpa in the draft.
