I made a post last year about how poor our talent was and that was the reason for us losing games. I still think that is a major concern.

I know everyone has as an opinion on the Donovan Plan, but I always thought it was to use an experienced veteran at the position for a few years to be competitive while cultivating a QB they drafted. Obviously, it didn't go that way.

It's interesting to see people complain that we don't have good back ups and that falls squarely on the head coach's shoulders. I guess that is a point, but you can do it all in one offseason. He drafted a solid 5-6 guys in this previous draft that are going to contribute. They brought in smart free agents. You can't do everything in one season or even two.

I believe next year will be more of a focus on offense and a few smart defensive players. So, obviously a QB and some OL, but also probably some play maker WR. I wonder what the defense pick ups will be though. Another CB, but outside of that, I don't see a glaring problem.
