turn'em loose Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I think everyone on the board will agree our needs for 2011 were: Wr,TE,lb,Ol,cbso lets start with Wr, we got a reciever that is far more talented than what we thought we'd get(did we give up too much, yes, Can Julio make us forget what we gave up, yes, but he better be in the top 3 of every category for Rookie wr's this year.Te- well we didn't get one, is it a must need this year, no, would have been nice to pick one up, but not a must have need.lb'r- well we got a third round lb'r which is where I thought we'd pick one up, I thought it would be a OLB with good speed, but i think we got, a mike peterson type, can play each lb'r spot and won't stick out like a sore thumb,ALA (owens) seviceable but not gonna make any pro bowls.OL we got a decent player in the seventh, he needs time to bulk up, and work on his footwork, but i can see him getting some playing time in 2 yearsCb we whiffed on picking a corner, but I feel Owens and Franks are probably better than what we could have gotten in the 5th-7th, I'm a franks supporter, but not getting on the field last year has me worried about him, so i'm guessing a veteran Low cost FA will be addedIMO this years draft was not a very good one, but in years past I Have loved our draft but been disappointed in our FA pick ups, So this better be the year that we go out and own the FA market. TD you have me nervous, but you can settle all the fears of the draft with some big FA signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 No, we didn't address all of our needs, but we did get great players at some key positions: #2 WR out of the box; Change of Pace (3rd Down back) out of the box, and solid, solid depth at LB'r with the Dent pick.

Daddy-O Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 We drafted great players and when the day comes that we can sign FA's, we will fill our other needs!This will be a great season and I see great things from our "O"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I was hoping for another CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris30277 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hopefully we add a stud DE in FA, bring back Williams for the secondary, and find some depth at Safety. That would mean next years draft would be about replacing Tony G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
