I think that our needs right now, i.e. this offseason are simple: DE. We have addressed MLB and CB and i beleive our offence is going to explode next year, even without Doc.

Our need on the D-Line is obvious and our depth at DE is alot worse than our DT's. With Griff-Golston-Mont-and Big Joe (Hopefully all healthy) I think we are set at DT for next year. Carter showed great imporvement through his first year back at DE so i think he's set on one side of the line, however the other side is a serious concern. Daniels and Wynn are both well past their best, and IMO are taking up too much cap space for what they contribute, neither rushed the passer or stopped the run last season. Cases have been made for both another pass rush 'specialist' and a 'run stopper' and which one we end up going for only time will tell, but i think it will depend on how good our staff think Golston and co will be next year.

We won't be able to find a DE good enough in FA given cap problems and crazy contracts!

So given that this is the last year that we will have such a high pick for a while (FINGERS CROSSED) i think we should use it and get a franchise DE.
