How long do you keep Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly if they don't produce?

Failure to do so is neglect of the "Total Team Concecpt".

I am not saying that another guy cannot unseat the guy who has started before. That just makes us better.

... I can't believe i'm gonna defend the FO, it really must be Friday the 13th.

First of all, DE will be just fine by the start of OTAs. If we don't sign Daniels there will be other serviceable LDEs available following the draft, although I would prefer Daniels run-stopping. Also Carter can switch over from time to time (he can go every down cuz he's a physical specimen) and then we bring in Wilson @ RDE. Personally i think this will yield the best pass rush results.

OT will be easy to address in FA, especially after all the draft talent is added to other teams rosters. Like GTripp said the top four guys could well be gone by 13 so I'm not very hopefull we address RT in the draft but it's just fine... we have the cap room to sign an upgrade at the position over Jansen/Heyer. Again, no biggie.

The trouble spot IMO is OLB. There isn't much talent in FA worth paying. I'd like Marcus back but of course we know he won't stay healthy all season. This is the position I believe we must address through the draft... should be our first pick whether we stay @ 13 or trade back.
