Preston Smith and Kerrigan are very similar players (big guys that really only have 1 move), obviously Kerrigan is better, but their style is the same. You could say the same about Murphy. We need a speed rusher. I believe they will draft an OLB.

Based on watching our defense next year, there aren't many guys that I think should be starting on a playoff caliber team.

CB - Norman
CB - Breeland
FS - Draft or Free Agent
SS - Draft or Free Agent
OLB - Draft or Free Agent
MLB - Cravens
MLB - Draft or Free Agent
OLB - Kerrigan
DE - Draft or Free Agent
NT - Draft or Free Agent
DE - Baker

Now, I'm not saying all of these will actually happen, but I could see a lot of guys being replaced. Depending on how Fuller plays the last 5 games, we might also need a new slot CB.

Basically need a lot of help right down the middle.

Next years draft should be all D. DL, S, ILB, OLB/DE

Yeah, obviously BPA plays a major role in the draft, hence how we got Doctson, but in an ideal world the BPA (or very close to the BPA) are all defensive players. I really don't see any holes on our offense that need to be replaced now that Long has been established as a solid center. I trust Scott to get the job done for next year.

And thank God we got Doctson. Lol. I know he could be potentially very good even great. Who knows? Im being a wiseguy. But I wouldn't argue BPA using him as an example of why it works at this point because we know nothing about him at this level.

I had no problem drafting him and still don't. I still don't think we'll re-sign Jackson, so he'll be a starter next year.

look at our red zone offense . . . we could really use Doctson (someone with height, size and leaping ability (and speed) is very valuable there), which is one of the reason it made sense.

Do not disagree at all. Hope he comes back healthy and does just that.

There are plenty of B list things to complain about like the sun in your eyes and stuff but we lost this game because of our defense.
The players and the coaching.
We needed to slap around Prescott and we did not.
Especially while he was stiff arming our secondary and running into the end zone.
That first drive of the game was just stupid.
Its like we were Leesburg High School.
The offseason needs to be about defense.

I'm still waiting to hear who is available right now who is better? Don't you think McC would have him in the roster? Have to wait till next year to replace him via draft.

Yea I think the knock is some people were thinking Whitner still had something in the tank. He clearly is below E.

IMO Ihenacho is playing better. But yeah we have to wait next year to improve the position.
Just saying I'm disappointed by his play.

Good post.

Am I the only one liking Mason Foster at MLB? Not a pro bowler but a very solid tackler, helping us against the run.

I also think if we improve at DL, Murphy and Smith can do the job at OLB.

In an ideal world, I agree with you, but as somebody said, you can only fill so many holes.

Realistically, I think priority should be SS, FS and DL. I can live with keeping Baker, Kerrigan, Murphy(Smith), Cravens, Foster, Norman and Breeland as starters.

IMO Will Compton isn't physical enough but he seems to be a great team guy in the locker room and on the field... Don't know what to think about him.

I think Compton and Foster are great backup linebackers but only average starters. Ideally you want to be better than average at every position. Also, if we didn't already have Kerrigan, Smith/Murphy are pretty solid starters, but i'd prefer 1 speed rusher and 1 bull rusher, with the other guys rotating in or being used in our other (non-base) defenses as needed.
