Yesterday's game was to me a case of our injuries (and of course, ST's death) catching up w/us. The D did a good job overall, (they had to punt 7 times) but Seattle was able to exploit it enough. On O, our weak right side of the line, was manhandled. Can't blame Heyer for not being able to block Kerney. Fabini was run over a couple times by blitzing LBs. Our Wr's couldn't get much space.

So to answer the question this thread poses; I think we need to devote 1 or 2 of our highest draft picks to the D (we will be missing our top picks from 04-06 when the season begins) & the rest on the offense, mainly the O line. On D we have a lot of needs, DE, OLB & CB. On O, if Jansen & Thomas are healty, we are only a player or two away from being really explosive.

In free agency or trades, WR might be our best bet. I can't see the front office being able to land replacements that are even 50% the quality of Rogers, Taylor & Rocky, but on the offensive side of the ball, a couple moves & draft picks for depth, could make our offense the dominant unit on the team in 08.
