So, if we keep LB Fernandez as our D7 leader, here's who would likely make the team, with depth of affinity the last number shown (5=Exceptional):
DE 1 Hoover 5
DE 10 Matthews 5
DE 7 Rawlings? 3
DE 3 Hancock! X
DT 8 Palazzo 5
DT 1 Samolis 5
DT 8 Wooden 5
DT 7 Broomfield X
LB 11 Strickland 5
LB 9 McCarthy 5
LB 12 Shapiro X
LB 7 Fernandez Ldr
LB 7 Lincoln! X
LB 11 Hillenbrand 5
LB 6 Lester 3
So, that's not bad, really. Not sure we would carry 15 players along the D7, but this would be the universe, with a few guys on their way out soonish anyway due to age. But we're weak with my top two young "core" guys plus Broomfield whom we just extended, and I don't like that. That is the main weakness here.
If we cut/shift Fernandez and leave McCarthy as the leader, here's the lineup instead:
DE 1 Hoover 5
DE 10 Matthews 5
DE 7 Rawlings? 3
DE 3 Hancock! 5
DE 5 Harvey 3
DT 1 Samolis 5
DT 8 Wooden 5
DT 7 Broomfield 5
LB 4 Richardson? 5(potential)
LB 11 Strickland 5
LB 9 McCarthy Ldr
LB 6 Cooley 4
LB 12 Shapiro 5
LB 7 Lincoln! 5
Okay...the vibe with our most important players ratings-wise makes this the right way to go. Needed to walk through it to test it out, and that was the main idea with the no-risk signing. I think we need to leave McCarthy in as our leader there, and re-sign him now, while he's content with playing time.
