What I would like to see

[columbuslarry]

I see all these posts about our defense and who sould be playing and our Secondary. I am not saying there is no room for improvement but this is hardly our problem.

1. First problem offense lets draft offense. get rid of booker Draft a wide out 1st round Calvin Johnson or Ted Ginn jr. Draft a center 2nd round move hadnot back to guard can Jeno James. pick up a guard in FA.3rd round draft a TE to replace Mcmichaels overpaid a$$.4th round draft a linebacker 5th round draft a linebacker. 6th we don't have 7th whatever.

2. Up grade our special teams I think Mare is gone for sure and I think our punter is garbage. Teddy Ginn would give us a punt returner with blazing speed.

Get rid of Malaurkey and let Dante get healthy and do what he does best throw deep. lets be exciting on offense if we could average 24 points a game our defense is good enough we could contend.

were goint to go 7-9 and once again stuck with less tier talent! watch. we will come around and then blow another opportunity to get talent via the draft by going on a win streak at the end of the year and losing out on great players. last years win streak did nothing for us but hurt us!

i think we have to address the o-line or the secondary in the first round...these are very weak points for us and its been a very long time since we have had a shut-down corner (prob since surtain)...but we also need a pro bowl lineman too...maybe well trade to get 2 1st rounders...would be SWEET!!!!

Speaking as a die hard Buckeye's fan.....Teddy Ginn is NOT ready to be an NFL WR....he can be the best return man in the NFL today...but to play Wr in the NFL you need more than just world class speed....he just needs another year in college I think.

You make a good point about our lack of speed on offense. We have ALL possession receivers who can't catch consistently - not a good combo. We do need a burner at WR. That is tough to draft and make an impact year 1. FA or trade is a possibility. It will be interesting to see if Shelton can play at RG. That would solidify that side for awhile. LT has to be an upgrade next year and I agree center needs improvement. We don't use the TE position enough to make it worth wasting a draft pick on guy will wind up blocking.

IMO we need playmakers with speed on D and O. We HAVE to get an impact OLB and DE - that is a must and it's hard to do in FA. I say you get your WR via trade or FA and use the draft for D - we need youth there big time. 1st rd has to be the best available OLB or DE. Holliday, Traylor, Zgonina, and Bowens have to go. Carter can play inside at DT in a 4-3 and move out to DE in a 3-4. He has better size than Holliday.

You made since about half way through number one. Draft another big play wideout so teams cant double CC, give booker the boot. Address oline in the 2nd rd, D from there

Oh my God! I thought I was the only one in the whole world with that divine revelation!

When it was obvious that we weren't going to make the playoffs and Saban kept on trying to win games to save his job...I was like: :tantrum: :confused: :fire:

I have to say that if we are picking top 3, then pick Calvin Johnson.

If we are picking top 10 then Joe Thomas.

If we are middle of the 1st round... then trade the pick to Oakland for Randy Moss.

2nd round pick and down...BPA.

Is Drew Bennett any better than Booker? Because he's the only free agent WR worth anything. If he isn't any better...then we definitely need a 1st round WR. Whether a rookie or if we trade the pick for Randy Moss.

If any of OLB Briggs of CHI or CB Clements of BUF aren't franchised or signed...we need to cut Booker and James and pursue one of them.

stud linebacker or big time O tackle,no ifs ands or buts,i would say that o line and linebacker are more pressing than calvin johnson.
