I think the plan would be status quo on the line, upgrade at RB through the draft, and let Jackson go with Doctson sliding in his place.

On defense we have learned that we still need more of a pass rushing threat and we need more along the defensive line. Free agent funds should go to the DL in my mind, with draft picks reinforcing all levels of the defense.

And then there's the all important Quarterback Question. I think you have to resign Cousins and hope that over time he makes improvements as he gains big-game experience. That said, you don't stop drafting QBs in the middle or lower rounds, because you never know.

We should be ready to contend for conference titles beginning next year.
Resigning Cousins is not a guarantee, whether they want to or not. He's definitely the priority in my opinion, but that doesn't mean the two sides can work anything out...suppose they could tag him again though.
