I think there are some personnel issues that need to be addressed, but I don't think we need to go overboard in this area.

It is honestly very minute details that are resulting in large consequences for the offense. Drastic personnel changes are never the way to go.

I'm going to go out on a limb and be the only person who thinks we really need to AVOID drafting Mike Williams if he is available. Mike Williams is NOT a deep threat type receiver - he is more in the Anquan Boldin / Larry Fitzgerald mold, of a large intermediate-route threat.

I think we need to use a first-round pick on a defensive-end, and if that means trading down and acquiring more picks, then this is the route to go. I think we should also use a high pick to find an interior lineman.

One of the things our defense was lacking this year was the ability to generate a pass-rush with the front-four (although Griffin has done this somewhat - and Chris Clemons has seemed to be a promising fit). Having an end who can get to the quarterback will have a tremendous effect on the rest of the defense.

On the offensive side of the ball, I think the group just needs an off-season to get their heads straight and let all the lessons from this season sink-in. By acquiring someone on the outside who can move the safeties a few years back, and acquiring someone who can consistenly pick up short yardage, I think you'll see a HUGE difference in the efficiency of the offense next year.

The most important things in the off-season:

1. Don't panic.
2. Re-sign UFAs
3. Sign a receiver with jets and a short-yardage back.
4. Draft a defensive end and an interior lineman.
