there must be something there that these guys like… so don’t undersell him….
1) there was that play in the playoffs that had miami scored a TD who knows… big play during a big game which is a good sign
2) some of his team mates have worked hard with him the last 2 years

3) the coaching staff kept him around when they were axing left and right after at least two incidents that were enough to warrent suspensions.

but otherwise – youth is needed at LB maybe a quality upgrade too.
CB – yup but once FA prices drop as the market dries up, i’d expect a move on some of the B level talent which is asking for A level money right now

late round QB? if this staff is serious about transitioning to Henne, past history says penne will want to start and the team will need a QB in the event that Henne isn’t the real deal.

WR/TE who can block

2. linebackers, both outside and inside
3. nose tackle
4. wide out
5. o line

gives good perspective on our depth, which is not looking to shabby going into the draft!

It’s not that the other needs are not important, but think about how many games we lost or almost lost because our secondary play was poor (Houston, Arizona). Now with that said, maybe ILB is the safest thing because is historically is a safer position to draft than a corner, so for right now I’m predicting some kind of linebacker in the first, and a corner with 2nd 1 and a WR at 2nd 2.

1-agreed, corner needs help
2-agreed, ilb need help (personally i wonder how mad ray is at the baltimo? im sure he’d love to be back in s.flo. youth is always made better round exp’d all pro’s)
3-wideout, love ginn & cam but they need some help
4-o line needs some beef w/ skills: draft, draft, draft. and draft smart (i kno the tuna will!)
5-im still not sold on cp @ qb. I dont think henne is quite ready but cp is not that steady (though i’ll take him over the last 2 clown we’ve had back there).

jump up to 8 spots if we need to…. Crowder, Mauluga with Ayodele as a backup sounds alot better than what we have now.

ROTH-CROWDER-MAULUGA-PORTER.

Make it Happen.

I love the depth chart analysis. Last year (pre-knowledge of this website), I did my own projected depth chart in excel, and remember thinking about how many holes there were and desperately hoping that the Cowboys didn’t resign or franchise Hamlin.
One year later, I look at the depth chart and feel pretty good about most areas. I am still not a huge Porter fan, although I very much appreciate what he did this past season. And I am still wary of a few holes we have… but in comparison to last year it is absolutely amazing how much improved this team looks on paper.

I remember being optimistic when we drafted Wright, but after a few years of not really seeing much in the way of results, I think I am ready to move on with a different developmental guy.

I think I read that Fred Evans received the lowest tender offer from Minnesota. I remember when he got cut alot of the players stood up for him and thought he could be a solid contributor.

If we don’t end up signing another DE, or selecting one in the draft, I would be interested in making a play for him. I haven’t read that he’s signed his tender yet, so could still be available.

I think the stories were that it took several cops and tasers to bring him down. Dude sounds like a force.

CB AND LB stuck out to be BIGTIME. Everyone wants the flashy WR in the first day, but we wont get a true#1 there so why draft ANOTHER #2-#3 WR?

1ST PICK needs to be a Corner if you ask me….Jason Allen starting a whole season…1)will never happen….2)scares the shit out of me cuz he sucks really really really bad

take a corner in 1st….2nd rd…take a LB….2nd 2nd rd pick…best player avail….maybe there is ur wideout

Has anyone seen T. George play? I am not very familiar with him.
Quentin Moses seems to stand out like a sore thumb to me in the 2nd string column. I am doubtful he will make it out of training camp.

I also suspect that Kilmer will be ahead of Bryan by the start of the season.

We also signed NT Joe Cohen, an undrafted UF alum. Big guy, 6’2" 321 lbs. I think the NT position is a lot more solid than people think with Ferguson, Soliai, and Cohen. I don’t seem the trifecta spending a 1st or 2nd rounder on a NT.

The D-line is solid, and young. Langford, Starks, Ferguson, Soliai, Merling, Dotson, Wright, and Cohen. Maybe they take a DT or DE in one of the later rounds just like last year.

I’d probably go with either a LB or CB because those are our biggest needs on defense. We have a solid core of LBs, Crowder, Porter, Ayodele, Roth, Wake, Anderson, Moses, Torbor, but you can never have enough LBs in a 3-4 scheme. CB we lack depth and a #1 guy, Will Allen is solid but he is aging and I wouldn’t put it past this regime to take a guy like Alphonso Smith, CB from Wake Forest, with the 1st rounder.

The other way to go is the possibility to sign a FA CB or a couple, theres a lot of pretty solid ones out there. I was actually just compiling a list to post on here to see what you guys think of the FA CBs and who we might be able to sign because just about anyone would automatically upgrade the position and provide depth.

1) DBs- yes that means a Corner and a Safety
2) WR- no shit huh?
3) LB-Maluagua or Luaranitis would be nice.
4) DT – Fergy is old and wont last much longer.

Brace, Moala, Taylor, Sammie Lee Hill, all of them are projected in that range. Brace obviously would have to be taken at the top of round 2, and the others we could probably snag on Day 2.

I like Cushing and Maualuga! But i really wanted to pose a question and get some feedback from the board…youth is good – in fact i think youth is great but what about having some HOF bound experience in the mix. I’ve just been thinking about one of the championship teams of the Lakers…what do you all think about adding Harrison, Brooks, Pace and bringing back Taylor at a reduced price (lets say 1-2 mill a yr for 1-2 yrs) and using them in alternate situations (3rd wideout, 3 downs, etc…)? just a thought… please somebody help clear up my thinking about this.,,,
