While I certainly was not happy about the loss to Seattle, given the fact we got Alexander out and still lost, I must say that it was a good year and kudos to the coaching staff. Now, lets turn to our needs.

The Draft. I might be the only one that thinks this way, but here goes. I devote the entire draft to the offensive and defensive lines. Our o-line backups, i.e. Cory Raymer, are horrible. We really really need to upgrade our backups on the o-line and get some depth. We also need to upgrade the D-line as well. When Griffin was out, our defense really suffered. We need someone who can play in the middle of that line and stuff the run. Id be happy if we used all of our picks on lineman.

Free Agency: No. 2 receiver. I know alot of you will say Patten still has football in him, maybe he does. Maybe Patten would get open, and Brunell just couldn't get him the ball. Often when I watch the game again on TiVo, I will see the receivers being open way way before Brunnell gets them the ball, so maybe Patten was getting open and Brunnell just doesn't have the arm to get the ball there fast enough. Irregardless, FRAYGEELAY (aka Jacobs) is gone and we need to upgrade the WR corp (AGAIN). I think we have 2 glaring needs in free agency: Upgrade WRs, and sign a pass rushing DE.

Thoughts?
