we only need to cut 6 from the list proper.
6 would allow for 4 nd picks. 1 free agent and 1 trade.
would hope we could end up with 1 first round pick. 2 second round picks and 1 3rd round pick. all decent nd picks to use on kids and continue to look after the long term.
to me the 6 most in the gun who have had plenty of time are mature and always revert back to below standard are.
derickx = 3rd rounder.
nahas = 2nd rounder
white = 2nd rounder
mcguane = 1st rounder. in effect we use 4 very good picks to replace duds. ask yourself what would you offer up for these hacks. we would be lucky to get anything for any of them.
rance = trade for promising ruckman in lycett wce or longer bl plus 2nd rnd pick.
would also look to cut 4 rookies stephenson, petterd, lonergan, and verrier. target two kids and two mature types.
jackson = f/a like james frawley what an asset he would be.
have to say im dismayed at people wanting to cut 19 yr olds like arnot and ohanlon even helbig whos had a tough run with injuries.
on top of this we have tuck probably eyeing of retirement it may save someone. personally i hope he goes around for one more season.
for what its worth i have a total of 19 that id be prepared to move on so for me there are options. i think one key for us is to keep some semblance of experience in the list as we are young and inexperienced.
