Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

I think it's fair to say the strong majority of people here think QB is 1st priority. I would ask what are the priorities after that?

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

And other positions do matter, IMO. For example, Andy Dalton wouldn't be as successful as he is right now without AJ Green. The Bengals lost a lot at WR and and they had a plan (risky as it was) to get a strong starter at QB and WR.

That is the kind of stuff I would like to see.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

1. QB (draft 2)
2. New Starting Guard or Center
3. ILB
4. CB (need a nickel or a starter to move Josh Wilson to nickle)
5. 1# WR

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

I do agree that OL should be next. I think if we can keep our current draft slots we can ACTUALLY continue to rebuild. I loved our draft this year and think since we have tons of picks that really haven't been traded away, we can draft some top tier linemen after our first pick on a QB.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

QB

then "offensive playmaker";) someone, anyone that can put some fear into an opposing team.

I would add, I might not want to move up to get Luck, cost is too high, I wouldn't mind if they traded a few lesser picks (maybe both our 4th's) to get back into the late first round. Would have to see how the draft is panning out.

I know the qb market loooks good, but what about WR's? lotta depth or whole lotta nothin?

i gotta feeling Cleveland is gonna let Peyton Hillis walk.

Are our top 3 BY Far.. [B]We have no talent at WR it's crazy to think we can win games with these guys we have now[/B][/quote]

With our QB's and line issues its really hard to tell what we have for WR's.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

QB!!!!!!!! Whatever we need to do we somehow need to find a way to draft Luck. Then the 0-line comes next. For people complaining about the defense...yeah it wasn't perfect yesterday, there were breakdowns, but they still gave up 23 and they kept being put back on the field. I wouldn't do a damn thing to the defense. The lack of scoring has to stop. The next draft and free agency is geared towards the offense.

Agreed.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

I think a good QB with our healthy offensive line from this year should workout fine. I remember in some of the earlier games, our line protected the QB well, the problem was the QB. Other than depth, the concern with the o-line is J. Brown's regression and Kory Licht's return from his injury. If J. Brown continues to play the way he is or if KL doesn't look good after coming back from his injury, we may be looking at replacing one of those two (or both).

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

QB
CB (needed with Haslett's pressure D)
ILB
OL
WR

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

1. QB (1st round)
2. cover linebacker (2nd round)
3. another linebacker (3rd)

rocky needs to be replaced, fletch's replacement must be in house next year as i think he will be 37 after next season. i dont think kerrigan or orakpo can take over as the QB of our defense so we need to sign another fletch type player or draft one.

i dont think you can ever have enough guys who protect and rush the passer. to use a high value commodity to upgrade the corner position would be a luxury imo right now.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

Offensive Line depth. 9 sacks is unacceptable especially against a team that until recently relied on Aaron Maybin to generate pressure.

Many of those sacks would not have happened if Beck had not held the ball so long and/or not used his mobility to run into defenders. But yeah, we still need OL help.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed
 

O line and QB. Without decent protection it wont matter how good the QB is because he wont have any time to do anything.
