Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed

I agree that the jury is still out on Trent Williams. Jason Pierre-Paul made him look like an undrafted free agent, yet Williams competed very well a few weeks later against Demarcus Ware. I'd like to see us draft another tackle in the first two rounds of 2012, and perhaps a guard in the 3rd round.

It goes without saying that we should draft a QB near the top of the draft, but I would prefer that the FO address WR through free agency.

Trent Williams is a bookmark for the Hogs.He is good and proved it against Demarcus Ware when he looked like a Pro Bowler against him. He is a keeper. But the other 4 positions on the OL need an upgrade sooner than later. A complete overhaul and keep a few of them for backups if needed.

I thought Shanahan did a good job in the draft even though the OL was not addressed. He found some talent. Good talent that we need. The picks were not wasted at least. The players he drafted for the most part can start on this team. It will take a few drafts to get this team back on track and the players Shanahan drafted were needed at some point. Maybe the OL talent pool didn't warrant a draft pick and was not as good as it needed to be. But this the upcoming draft have some talent on the OL and it needs to be taken care of. Although the OL was not addressed.


As soon as we start addressing the OL the sooner we get back to the playoffs. When you have some Hogs all the other positions get better too. The Qb has more time to throw. The RB will get more yards. The defense will not be on the field as long. Just ask Mark Rypien about the advantages of some Hogs. Time for the front office to stop playing fantasy football and find some Hogs immediately.

Shanahan gets a pass because he just got here and hasn't been the one wasting draft picks. He found some talent we will need in the past draft. But now he must put his attention and efforts on the OL. When he does we will be contenders again. We will need one more position taken care of after that to get back to the Superbowl. QB.

HOGS!!!

We don't need WRs we need a QB. Look at the garbage Brady turns in to gold.

A QB is sort of hard to come by at the moment. Even WRs are. Hence the signing of David never heard of Anderson. But they're trying.

Good teams have both. Otherwise, you have Sam Bradford's situation. And Welker is absolutely no slouch in his own right. It's an insult to him to call him garbage.

Call me crazy, but I think we should have spent money on Yanda (and still bring Chester). I would have loved to see a TW, Yanda, Montgomery, Chester, and Brown o-line.
