You almost read my mind. I like it.

Soliai would be great. Then Cofield can spend more time at end, which is a better spot for him.

However, we have two fourths. I'd be more willing to trade back one of them than to trade back the 3rd round pick. I might even package lower round picks to move back into the third with another pick.

Bottom line to which most would agree: We can't spend what we spent on Griffin without providing him with weapons and protection.

So true but we want weapons that will be with us for a while we don't weapons that are great now & when RG3 is hitting his stride in 2 or 3 yrs they are old in NFL terms.

I like this scenario.

Areas of Concern

WR -- RG3 needs a legit #1 WR (i.e. Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston)

OL -- Need a new RT for OL to be successful. Liked what Willie Smith had to show at the end of the season. Not much to pick from in FA... Could use some competition at OG. (Paul McQuistan?, Jeff Backus?)

DB -- Hall just didn't get it done last season IMO. Play maker? Yes, but too inconsistent in coverage. Need a true shutdown corner. Not sure how we handle Landry and the safety position. Time will tell...

These are my 3 top areas of concern going into FA. Of course re-signing Fletch is very important, but I don't see it as the be all, end all. If we fix these areas of concern in any way that betters the team, I will be a happy camper.

Barnes is almost as bad a safety as he is a cb, so I don't like that. Also I think we may sign royal to be a #2/3 WR but well definitely do our best to get a true #1
