very good thread.

daniels needs to be replaced, but a draft pick won't unseat him in the first year, and i'm not sure about the FA class, but last i checked it seemed thin on young DEs (and there weren't many franchise QBs out there either... go figure)

griffin and washington should both be back. griffin is much closer to being cut than marcus though (more injuries, better depth there). both are worth keeping if possible.

godfrey should be back. good cheap depth, no reason not to, unless he retires.

rocky is gone for 2008 for sure, possibly part of 2009. rogers won't be 100% till at least week 9 of the regular season. smoot and springs (who i would keep for sure) can hold it down, but you need insurance against springs many injury problems for at least 8 weeks next year.

doughty is better as a good backup, as a starter he's low end, but they're using his strengths and he's solid for his talent level.

golston can be a #2 DT right now... not sure how he'd do without griffin though.

GW should stay, but i don't know how much money might be thrown at him and how sweet danny's under the table deal with him here is.

depth needs work at LB, DL. on offense, YOUNG OL depth, and a stud WR (CJ type talent) are by far the biggest needs.
