1) Offensive Line- Biggest area of need- New Guard, Center and backup Tackle. We need to draft or sign new talent to develop. Bugel is great at developing young guys, but it takes time. So start now before we are forced again to choose between a 42 y.o. guard and a fat loser like Kenyatta Jones.

2) TE- we need a big bruiser/short yardage run blocker that can run and catch. Cooley is a great start, but more of an H-back, not a killer blocker.

3) WR - keep Coles and Gardner, the others are disposable. Jacobs is running out of time. I have to disagree with getting rid of Gardner. Let him play out his contract, when used correctly and our QB's are not missing the side of a barn or throwing to the other team, Gardner has proved he is better than Jacob, McCants & co. Draft and develop a great physical rookie, not a soft/dud like Jacobs. Jacobs up to now has proven to be one-dimensional, outside speed receiver. He does not posses all the tools to be a #2 reciever in the NFL.

4) DT/DE - Need to start to develop a young guy and give him time to become great as a back up, than throw him in.

5) Let defense coach Williams sign anyone he thinks he needs (with in reason). He proved he knows what he is doing. Remember this last offseason when some on TWP were questioning the large number of LB's and CB's signed? Well with all the injuries we had at LB he proved it was needed.
