i enjoy the fact that you use proper grammer and sentance structure while doing that, good show.

Punctuation is the awesomest.

DE is by far the biggest need. I'm not a big fan of the free agent DEs unless Freeney leaves the colts, so I hope we go DE in the draft. We have to trade up and take the best DE in the draft

they cant afford to risk taking another de in the first round...sign a free agent or hope mcdougle can play...trent cole to me will be almost like a free agent pick up next year as he will have had the experience from this year and should be a force from day one...but with mcdougle being a recent number one at that position you just gotta bite the bullet and hope he turns into a player not use another number one pick on a de...because if they do and that guy cant play they are effed

in general they need to get another playmaker or two in the front seven...starting with the olb's...dhani jones is brutal and keith adams is a special teamer

receiver is a no brainer

i think the secondary is fine...including both lito and lewis...a pass rush will help them tremedously

as i said in a previous post o-line has the potential to be a huge problem

SunMo · November 16, 2005, 10:20:12 AM

i agree that you need another difference maker at OLB.

if you improve the front 7 and make them a force again, the back 4 becomes exponentially better as a result.

PFT.com has a list of players scheduled to become FAs. It doesn't look too promising if you're looking for a No.1 reciever:

Angelo Crowell (Buff)--RFA Steve Hutchison (SEA)
Scott Shanle (DAL)--RFA
Hunter Hillenmeyer (CHI)--RFA
Julian Peterson (SF)

WR: Antwaan Randle-El (PITT) FB: Heath Evans (NE)
Reggie Wayne (IND) Sammy Morris (MIA)
Reche Caldwell (SD) Mack Strong (SEA)
Chris Horn (KC)--RFA Fred Beasley (SF)
Brandon Lloyd (SF)--RFA
Kevin Curtis (StL)--RFA
Tim Carter (NYG)
Nate Burleson (MINN)--RFA

C: Seth McKinney (MIA) CB: Nate Clements (BUFF)
LeCharles Bentley (NO)
Jeff Mitchell (CAR)

This isn't a complete list. Just a list of some of the intriguing choices out there.

It rarely looks good in FA for a true #1 receiver. They don't tend to get to that point.

Don Ho · November 16, 2005, 01:46:32 PM

Oh my! That list is pretty slim pickins.

GET BRANDON LLOYD!! Reuniting him with fellow U Of I alum Greg Lewis would make the receiving corps absolutely devastating. DEVASTATING!!!

Seriously,

GET JULIAN PETERSON!!! or not. Seems like the bum is always hurt.

PhillyandBCEagles · November 16, 2005, 01:52:46 PM

I wouldn't mind getting Randle-El...he's not a #1 but he's a solid #2. Unless we can trade for someone I think we're going to have to rely on Reggie to be our #1 next year.

I disagree about the DE spot....if we have a chance to grab Kiwanuka or Williams in the draft we have to do it. Kiwi will go top 5 but we could get a shot at Williams.

rjs246 · November 16, 2005, 01:53:32 PM

This crop of free agents eats grundle. Looks like it'll be the draft or nothing. I'm flaccid just thinking about it.

Don Ho · November 16, 2005, 02:16:59 PM

I am not crunked about this at all!
