Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed

I don't think we have the best secondary and it needs improvement, especially in depth, but it is not anywhere near the top of our problem areas. Any changes in defense this offseason should focus on depth and bringing in young players that could be starters in the near future (such as replacements for Atogwe, Hall).

Shanahan needs to focus on building up the offense first and foremost. We probably would have few complaints about the defense if the offense could put together a decent game.

Re: Positions Which Need to Be Addressed

I agree we need to build the OL whether through FA or draft, same goes for the secondary. Have you seen the last couple of games? The secondary gives up too many big plays, skins need to draft someone in the 2nd round or find one through FA. Skins CB's suck.

The whole defense is giving up big plays, didn't Fitzpatrick and Fred Jackson gashed us with screen passes on Sunday? I agree the there needs to be upgrade, but I don't want this FO to go on a spending spree for the defense and once again ignore the offense.

The draft is not a buffet in which you have control over which players you get to eat. You don't get to decide who is a playmaker at a certain position, you find them and take them, just like you don't get to pick where to dig an oil well or mine for gold. The benefits can be rather large, i.e Adrian Peterson, Area 51, and Kerrakpo.
