[Big C]

first off re-sign todd collins and rock cartwright not sure who our other pending free agents are

retain shawn springs

next, fill some holes through free agency.

bryant johnson from arizona would be a great signing. 6'3" good hands has been productive as a #3 receiver in arizona behind boldin and fitzgerald, could do well out here and shouldnt ask for a ton of money

floyd womack, OG from seattle would be a decent signing to provide depth for our o-line. faneca would be too expensive so i think we should go after some second tier guys like him. ruben brown would be another who shouldnt be too expensive and would be a great backup

where it gets tricky is here. do we go for a DE in the draft or through free agency. i would opt for free agency, i dont feel comfortable drafting a dlineman high. if we opt to go through free agency here, id like us to get a young pass rusher in the 3rd round who we can groom. obviously there is jared allen, but he will be extremely expensive. then there is justin smith, whose never been a huge sack guy but is good against the run. terrell suggs is another option, he is young but is undersized for a defensive end and has played outside linebacker in the 3-4 in baltimore. in the end id opt for justin smith, he would be the least expensive of the 3 i mentioned and can play run and pass, though not as good a rusher as the other 2. as mentioned before id also draft a young pass rusher in the 3rd round who can develop, and let smith handle the run if he struggles rushing the passer

at linebacker i think we have a lack of speed. id shy away from briggs, too expensive. again, id like us to go for the 2nd tier guys more often than not. id like us to take a look at demorrio williams from atlanta or boss bailey. bailey has had tons of injury problems, which should lower his demands but he is good in coverage and has good speed. demorrio williams is another young linebacker who could be leaving atlanta, i think he could do well here

if possible, go for rob bironas the kicker from tennessee, he is an RFA so they could match any offer. suisham has had good stats but he isnt too reliable, if we can upgrade id like us to do so.

for the draft, i think we should go cornerback first round, o-line second round, defensive end third round, from there on best available player. id like us to add more depth on the o line and d line throughout the draft.

summary:
re-sign collins and cartwright, keep springs
sign bryant johnson, floyd womack, justin smith, demorrio williams or boss bailey
draft cb first, oline 2nd, de 3rd, best available onwards
