All is quiet--for now

I know, it sounds ridiculous.

We are in a tough spot, we need a serious d-lineman who can either rush the QB or collapse the pocket, Branch may be the best out there, haven't seen any film on Adams, or Anderson, but as you said, it is going to be very hard to stay pat with our current secondary, to take a conservative aproach via free agency would be fine except this year where we have really only 1 significant pick. Do we trade down and accumulate more picks to address more needs with possibly lesser talent? Or do we take a top Lineman in the draft and hope to strike lightning in a bottle with a couple lower tier free agent signings?

We need to see if there is a lineman or 2 that will be around in the second round that can make an impact? If not then we have to draft 1 high, leaving us with no ability to draft a quality guy for the secondary.

And here it is in a nutshell, we now face a situation that has been brought upon us by constant mismanagement of the draft, by individuals who really do not understand the significance of the draft for building a team.

We could have addressed these areas in the past and be looking at 2 possible all pro type recievers right now in Johnson and Garrett, but we are stocked to the Gill's with WR's, 2 of whom are probably not going to be anywhere's near as good as the 2 kids coming out this year.

And yes we need to start clearing out cap space some how starting with AA, take the hit and move on.
