Practice Squad
I don't think the Fins roster is a finished product yet and I think there are three areas they need to consider before the start of camp.
1-Right guard- My prediction is that the Fins opening day RG is not currently on the roster. I think teams like Oakland and Tampa that have a glut of lineman will release someone (Mo Collins?) and the Fins will snatch him up. I just can't imagine they'd go into the season with St. Clair, Whitley or Jerman starting.
2-No. 3 WR-I don't have a lot of faith in Derrius Thompson and I'm still not sure about Tolver. There will be some veterans hit the market, Conway, Frank Sanders, and one of them may be brought in. I like the idea of Northcutt, but the asking price may be too high and I'm not a fan of giving up another draft pick next year when we already are without a second and sixth.
3-Backup LB-While Pope and Bua may be aggressive young players, if any of our starters go down, I'm not real confident in our reserves. Eddie Moore has shown no signs of being ready to play in the NFL, both mentally and physically, and Corey Jenkins and Ayanbedejo are unproven. I think a veteran is needed here.
Rick and Dave have done a great job in the past with post-draft pickups (Knight, Jamie Nails, Jay Williams) and I think they'll make something happen again.
