I'm also concerned about OLB. Also, I'm not sure we've got any decent backup FBs behind Sellers. I'm also not sure we have a backup C who's worth a crap. And there's the ever-present question marks about the DE spots, despite the James acquisition.

But I wouldn't make trades to fill these holes.

Phillip Daniels is old and can't rush the passer much, but I like him against the run and we could do worse. I think Carter has the other spot locked down and solid. When we need to generate the pass rush on 3rd down, Blache will likely continue to rotate Daniels down to DT and let Wilson or Washington get after the QB on that side. That worked well for us last year. And who knows, maybe James performs a miracle and gets in the mix on that side as well.

I had concerns about CB, but the Tryon pick seems to address that. He's got good cover skills and is physical enough to be a decent nickel until we get Rogers back.

Rinehart gave us some young depth at G and T, so combining with Heyer, no moves needed there. In camp, we need to see if we have anybody who can back up Rabach though, otherwise we should think about signing someone.

A backup FB would be nice, but at some point you have to figure that going 2-deep at every spot on the field is a luxury you just can't afford. Good thing Sellers is tough as nails.

So that leaves OLB, where I have by far the most concern. Washington has proven brittle lately, and Rocky is obviously coming back from major injury. Behind them, I'm not sure we've got squat diddily. MAYBE you can rotate Blades around, but I prefer him in the middle as he's not so much suited for coverage of the better TEs. We definitely lack a guy like Randall Godfrey, he was very valuable for us last year when McIntosh went down. Of all the things we could do, OLB is the spot I'd be most interested in improving.
