building for a superbowl?

Paintrain I agree with you on the whole not throwing away all our impact players for picks only to have the ones left get injured and we have no depth.

but do we need 2 pass catching TE's. It has been reported that Shanahan only utilized 1 pass catching and 1 blocking TE. It might be interesting to see how they are utilized though.

Same with Landry. We have Landry who I believe is an awsome SS but not that great at FS. but we also have Doughty, and Horton. Doughty is just as good at SS and Horton might be even better. We could afford to trade one. I would have said Doughty but his name is not flashy so we won't get great value like we would have to Landry.

Then there is the issue of Carter. If he's on page to give it a try then good. But if he's not the proto typical LB/DE in this scheme we might as well trade him for mid round picks.

QB is another position. I feel like Tampa now. We have:

McNabb
Campbell
Grossman
Brennan
Bartel

Bartel is probably a non issue. He's fodder unless he shines for some reason. K.Shanahan has mentioned he likes Colt but what OC is going to say "na I don't like him" if he's on their team? Hopefully we can get decent value for JC. Maybe get our second rounder back. That would leave:

McNabb and Grossman, who have both been to a SB and lost. Both are eager to win.
Brennan, who might turn out to be great in this system.
Bartel, who is simply camp fodder.

I think we are expecting more of the same. Not true! My expectations are low and mental defenses are high. Kind of like the first year Tom Brady took over in N.E. What do think of that!?

I'd rather see what Shanny does with 2 pass catching TE before saying that he can't utilize both of them. If we move anyone young, I'd be more ok with Landry just because he hasn't lived up to his promise and appears to be a faster Roy Williams with the same coverage and tackling angle liabilities but without the impact plays. Carter is a bad fit so if we can get a 3rd for him I'd be fine with that as well, Chris Wilson can fill his LB role.

The QB situation will work itself out. The only way we get a 2nd for Campbell is if there is a late run at the end of the 1st for QB (Clausen, Tebow, McCoy) and some team like the Bills is stuck without someone who holds that round value. Other than that, we're lucky to get a high 4th for him.
