Simicager Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think a lot of people on this board think we have a while to go. I think the biggest need we have is a 3 down linebacker. Nowadays if you dont have a guy who can stop the run and pass, you don't have a great defense. Offensively a WR2 is the biggest issue. I like Doctson from TCU or Crabtree in FA. You can also make a case for center with Person really struggling late in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Solidify the interior offensive line.The defense proved early on this year it can protect leads.We need to get Ryan back to being the Ryan we all know.If we can become that balanced attack we showed at the beginning of the 15 season we will win a lot more than we will lose.

Lornoth Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Center is far and away the biggest need on this team, and it's not even a little close. Even Person and Stone's "Good" snaps were too bad for the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I disagree its far and away the biggest need, but we do need centers who can snap the ball...Fair enough, but Person personally cost us more than one game this season with horrible snaps. Even his good shotgun snaps usually disrupted the timing of the play for us, which is incredibly important for the WCO. I can't think of one other position that, if upgraded, would make our team so much better on its own.Yeah, we need a LB'er, and a safety. But honestly we could have outscored teams easily this year if we just had a real NFL center.Luckily we don't need to choose just one, I'm sure we'll have a new Center, a couple new LB'ers, and more by next season's opening.

I can't count the amount of times the snap was a tough one for Ryan to catch, but it didn't get mentioned because it wasn't sky high or skidding on the ground. I might just swing Person back over to guard, get a decent, cheap vet center that can snap well along with a new starter. Can you live with Gradkowski under C or do you spend in FA or Draft.For me I can live with the above and I probably bring in someone during the Draft. Well I haven't been able to watch the last game of ours yet, so I'm not sure how he managed in that game. Maybe he could remain the cheap vet guy, but from what I saw of him in the past I'm not incredibly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there is a great center prospect like Frederick a couple years ago, but wouldn't be opposed to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyhateme : ) Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Give me interior OL (1st), interior DL (2nd), MLB - (3rd)(Wheeler may work here) and Safety(4th). The defense has to get stronger up the middle. The offense has to solidify the middle of their line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownorg Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 A New GM????Bot of attainable solutions this off season. Interior OL (ALL of IT) & LB Upgrades should be Priority 1 & 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 On offense center is the glaring weakness. Defensively both the safety and the linebacker position need upgrading, one of these has to be filled by an impact player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 In general and in no certain order: WR, TE, G, C, DE, LB, S, KBut really, the team needs almost everything. Because teams always need almost everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFalconFan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 We ranked 27th in the league in opponent 3rd down conversion % and had the least amount of sacks - I would say a our biggest need is an edge rusher that can produce 10+ sacks each year - now do you get that in the draft or in free agency? If your defense can't get off the field you can't win games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Center > Middle Linebacker > Offensive Guard > Safety > Outside Linebacker (in order)...That is assuming Clayborn is retained. If we don't keep him, DE becomes #2 on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
