[over the mountain]

all we really need is: j/k

offense:

1 starting caliber guard (im starting to believe lichensteiger can be a kendal type player)
1 starting center
1 legit wide receiver (im talking top 20 at his position talent here, so it may be hard outside of gambling on v jax)

this assumes we re-sign j brown (who i can see being unwilling to negotiate w/ since he wanted LT money a year ago and had to endure a drama and losing filled season with skins). but if we do re-sign brown we have our bookend tackles and lich as a guard.

i believe we can get by with lichensteiger as our weakest link on starting O line.

i think we can get by and maybe excel with our current RBs corp under shanny's run scheme.

we need a legit no 1 receiver thoo. this is going to become a potent passing attack with mcnabbs big pass ability and kyle's attack passing scheme.

defense:

2 starting caliber DL, 1 being a legit NT
2 starting caliber LBs

this assumes we resign rogers and rocky. i believe we have too many defensive players starting who are depth chart level talent. this would move guys like carriker, carter, alexander, ma'ake, PD, blades to their proper depth chart level.

i was a kareem moore hoper, but i think he has shown he is depth chart at best as well. but i think we can get by with a rotation of moore, doughty and horton to compliment landry for one more year.

our resources:

a high 1st and 2nd round picks = 1 starting caliber OL and 1 starting caliber DL/LB

receivers i view as hard to predict and draft and wouldnt mind shelling out money for a FA at this position vs drafting a guy high then having to wait 2-3 years until we know what we have. i dont think this offense can sit idle for that long and i think a legit no 1 receiver is necessary for this offense to be where we need it to be.

that would leave us to have to sign a starting caliber FA linebacker and d lineman as well.

not bad, def do able. would require us signing atleast 3 starting caliber players then drafting 2 this offseason. then we would have to hope to not get hit by injury bug to bad during the season.
