What positon should we try to improve through free agency?
I think we should go after a OL. I'm not worried about Marcus Spriggs because he's back healthy now. I think that was a stroke of bad luck that Brent Smith and Spriggs both went down the way they did. I'm not sold on Brent Smith because he's always hurt and never lived up to his full potential because of his injuries. Plus we have Anthony Cesario coming back also who was having a good preseason until his injury.
My main concern is the GUARD position. We have Leon Searcy (great pickup), Mark Dixon (9 knee surgeries), Todd Perry(back up material) and Jamie Nails (could surprise, but Buffalo fans said he sucked as a Bill). If Dixon goes down again (hopefully not) but the chances are great that it could happen, who will fill in? I wasn't happy with Perry's play last year.
I know Blake Brockmeyer is the BIG free agent out there for the tackle positon, but does anyone think that Tom Ackerman can come in and win the left guard position? If so, I think that is the way to go. The better option would be Ron Stone but he wants too much money with now. But we should wait till after the draft. If we can draft someone like Martin Bibla in the third round then we won't need Ackerman.
My other concern is the dime back. We don't have one (not one worth mentioning). We need somebody that will push Jamar Fletcher for the nickel back position.
I know our thinnest position is the linebacker position. We have to get better backups, because if one goes down, I think we will have some serious problems on defense. The backups we have right now are great special team players but mediocre backups. I'm sure we can address that in the draft.
