Offensive Line

[SBXVII]

At this point I would spend both the first and second round on LT and RT. Give the O-line a huge boost third is tied up with Jarmin. Then I might start looking at QB or RB's to take over for our aged RB's. I would look for a viable SLB and return Orakpo to DE. Look to pick up CB's and a Safety in the later rounds. Make it well know that if your an OL we are holding open season. try them all out. pick the best and get younger and healthier faster.

Whoever comes in at GM and HC I would tell find the best WR position coach out there and bring him in to teach the WR's we have how the hell to play in the NFL. I might even spend on 1 WR FA if they are not too old and still have some gas left in them. I'd dump ARE and think long and hard about Moss.

Out of my list above maybe pick up Crummy, Asiata, and Canfield to replace R. Johnson is injured yet again. Weren't they thinking about cutting him last off season? Something about not using good technique?

By R. Johnson, do you mean Randy Thomas? Otherwise I like your assessment.

I would add trying to trade someone for picks. (Moss, Portis, or Landry).

Actually....no. I'm an idiot. sorry, I meant Rinehart. Don't know how I made that typo but apparently I was off in left field.

Also, about the only person in your list worth anything is Landry. Portis has been injured every yr recently, and he's not producing the yrds he used to. Moss is in the same boat. He seems to get injured every year some how and this year although healthy he can't get seperation often enough and seems to drop the ball, that is if JC is not over throwing him.

I could see whoever comes in picking up a franchise QB in the first round and picking up a LT in the second round. We might get lucky in FA and pick up some RT who is not too old and gets the job done.

Here are my rankings as far as needs for this team:

1. Tackle - We just lost our franchise tackle (very likely for good) and we haven't picked up an offensive lineman in the first round in a long time.

2. QB/RB - While QB is definitely a need, Portis is old in RB years and has nothing left in the tank. We need to find our next Ray Rice, Tashard Choice, or LeSean McCoy.

3. LB - We need someone at LB so Orakpo can become a full time DE.

4. Guard/Center - We need depth.
