Possible FA wish list for depth

[onebum]

I like nemo, 250 and can move like that, well, its almost like a mike alstott with wheels. I see him as the two in the portis 1-2 punch so I don't see any rb needs.

As for WR, i'd like to see a couple of the guys near the top of our depth chart hit the door, and bring in Givens and jerivisious if possible. There are other/better/faster/bigger play recievers out there, but I don't think we need one. Moss had enough big plays for 3 teams while being the only target, just think if there was a sure handed target on the other side that could move the chains consistently. Plus givens and jeriviousious have post season sucess already.

Pick up a DE, maybe in the draft, maybe elsewhere...but that is a real need. The inside of our D line is strong, but we need a good pass rush without it coming from a linebacker.

Last, I think we need a middle line backer. Nothing against marshall, but I see him as spelling washington/arrington on the outside and picking up about 50 tackles a year. I would love to see a powerhouse 250+ pound guy in the middle causing problems...that would basically set our defense off.

Another O linemen, perhaps two, and I think were about set...other than the HUGE QB QUESTION WE HAVE.

well, we did pick up mccune last year (big and fast MLB).

I agree the QB question is huge and somewhat ignored... I think the skins are trying to do the steeler thing where you get a ton of talent and then you're able to stick in an average QB and still be alright (roth is obviously above average, hence the SB). Hopefully campbell proves he's got it.


just a note that if anyone wants a passrush starting this season instead of next, a FA is about 90% more likely to provide it over a rookie (since we don't have a 1st round pick).

i think this is going to be a pretty good draft for de's.. and i think we will get a player inthe second round who can be a situational pass rusher for us until he learns to anchor against the run.
we will also pickup a vet def end to provide depth and a pass rush. perhaps kalu or howard... or my fave, raheem brock
