a hint?

DE and Oline aren't exactly friendly positions. Look at Kenechie Udeeze who a lot of people wanted last year - where'd he go? What about Will Smith? Crickets... DEnd is such a risky pick I don't so much like it. Personally I think we're fine with our D line. We're going to have to keep blitzing, but I'm assuming a restructured Wynn and a healthy Daniels comes back. Mix in Clemons/Lavar at times and with Griffen and a rotation of Salave'a and Noble and we're set at D line. We'll still blitz, but that also helps keep backs in the back field, and as long as we can replace Smoot with someone at least close, assuming he walks, then we should be okay. The only change I want on defense is slightly more turnovers. Other than that - leave it alone.

Great point! When I look at the list of UFAs and RFAs, I don't see a whole lot of possibilities. Many teams will try to resign their own. Other teams have a bag load of Cap money to spend. We might overpay for FAs, and so your point is well taken. Go with what we have. Maybe we get a guy or two like last year, maybe not. Williams seemed to be so creative. I really like the turnovers idea!

Daseal is right, for those that say rookie WR's are risky and rarely pan out early in their careers the same can be said of defensive lineman, maybe even more so.

I'd be happy with the same DL unit in 2005.
