Draft Day Thoughts

All we need is an offensive line. Build that up. It'll make every player on the team better.

I agree with you completely.

Personally, I think our d-line has done well this year, and I don't think that is our biggest problem. Carter, Griffin, and Golston/Montgomery are fine (also Daniels, but he's old and might not be around much longer). We don't have to have 4 studs on the line to have a good defense. They are blue-collar guys, and they have done their job for the most part. We did pretty well this year on defense before injuries.

I also think we're fine at WR. We've got at least 3 WRs who can play: Moss, El, and McCardell. I don't really care about big WRs. The rules give the advantage to the receiver already. If a guy can run routes, and the QB can get the ball out in time, there's no need to be big -- he'll be in position, and the ball will get there. Over powering/out jumping the DB isn't really necessary if you can beat him with your route running. People act like the only way WRs can catch a pass is if they can over-power the DB. Truth is, those kind of skills are used less than route running and catching are.

Let's draft for O-line and secondary.

I disagree.
We need guys that can get pressure. Andre Carter has his moments but Daniels, Wilson and any other dlinemen have been non existent on passing downs.

Part of the reason why the skins blown leads is because we go into a cover 2 defense and the offense has all day to throw. If we are going to play safe coverages, we need dlinemen that can get pressure on their own. our guys can't.

Carter has been good with 8 sacks but the other defensive ends combine for 5 total!
Demario williams of the texans has as many sacks as our whole defensive line!

We need to add some young guys to the offensive line who can contribute 2 yearsdown the road. On the Dline, we need guys that can play week one.

the one caveat, It's hard to draft defensive linemen. We have to see who are the best players available.
