Offensive Tackle is VERY concerning . . I would say we have 2 of the top 25 tackles in the league on our team right now . . . that is amazing . . . but god forbid one of them goes down and not to mention Carey is in a contract year. No question the depth needs to be addressed, and when u have 2 studs like we have, we can gamble on draft picks and hope they develop into players we can count on if injury occurs.
Definitely the secondary needs a looking into . . . I'm hearing this good news about Jason Allen (who if develops like he can, could be a great CB . . . or safety . . . or something), but Will Allen is in a contract year . . . and Lehan and Goodman, lets face it, they are both better suited for nickel and dime rolls . . . they aren't starter material, tho they can start if need be. We MUST draft a CB first day . . . Davis would be amazing but regardless we need a first day CB. To my knowledge we only have 3 safeties also . . . . so that also needs addressing, as both Bell and Hill are pushing 30 or maybe already 30 . . . and Crocker . . . lol.
LB seemed to be a HUGE need before the season . . . but these guys have stepped up . . .especially Mr. Roth and Mr. Crowder. Akin we knew would be a starter on this team, we didn't know how good he would play, he has played great. And JP, well he is still a beast, just in the wrong system last year . . . however not much depth after that . . . just Torbor and Anderson . . . there is a good chance our first pick in the draft will address the LB position . . . OLB or MLB . . . more than likely MLB as I'm not sure if we will resign Channing and Roth is also in a contract year I believe. . . but Selvie, Rey Rey, Lauranitis and company will be on the watch list for 2009 . . . LB will be I'm guessing minimum 2 picks this draft.
Nose Tackle . . . I haven't seen much of Solai . . . we need a NT prospect . . . it is CRITICAL . . . I dunno if Starks will be molded into one, but he seems better suited as a DE. Fergy is playing young, but you gotta figure age will catch up eventually . . . he is probably good for this year and next year, but for 2010, we better have someone ready to go. BP will find his guy this draft.
WR - I think this is where we may look after FA's or even a trade . . . but not no first rounder . . . if Detroit wants to give us Roy for a 2nd and a late rounder . . . we need to do that. I'm not sold on us drafting a WR, but I guess we gotta see who is available. This needs to be addressed tho, as its a weak spot on the team, and we could use a big name to take some pressure off of Ginn . . . I like Camarillo in the slot . . . I'm not sold on Bess, never was, but I'm glad he is making plays for the team and I hope he continues to improve for the better of the team. I'm pretty much given up on Wilford and Hagan.
These are the 5 areas that need the most upgrading and addressing.
