Hopefully we'll draft a tackle with our first pick. Sounds like our O-line (our biggest problem) won't be fixed much at all. No mention of Rabach either. I guess he'll be around.
We need a home run hitter compliment to Portis but can't afford one in free agency and are limited in draft picks.
Jason Taylor may come back, but if he does it will be for an overpaid $8.5M, and it sounds like he doesn't want to be here anyway. Griffin isn't going anywhere and it doesn't sound like we'll be a player for any real FA D-line contributors. I guess the possibility of landing a Connor Barwin type in the 3rd round is cool.
We desperately need help with kicking/punting, but we'll do little more than give our current bums some competition in training camp.
And we're stuck at WR.
It's not looking up for 2009.

I tried to tell y'all this by creating this thread, but I ended up with a bunch of "No dude, we'll cut this guy and that guy and that guy and turn our whole team over and we'll be good to go" posts.
I ain't going to say "I told you so" yet, not until we actually see what they do. But the numbers - by and large - tell the tale.
