This makes 11 WRs going for 3 spots...something is wrong with the scouting group if they can't find 3 "backup WRs". I'm actually confident they can find 2 or 3 out of 11 in this group. If Lamb goes down they're screwed anyway.

At DT, development comes into play with Bohanna..maybe it clicks in year 3, and we're looking at a surplus at NT. I can dream.
Right. I can find 2-3 out of that group, you could, so could almost any member. But are any of us right? There's also injuries at DT. We're all wrong sometimes. All of us. We have a couple of guys, but can we not upgrade there? I think we are good at DE, but we have two starters and no true depth behind them. And we lost Carlos Watkins, who I think was coming on as one of our better interior guys. I'm tired of waiting on guys to develop. When your team is on the cusp like this, I can see you going deep at positions, but we're not all that deep at DT, after Mazi, a rookie, and Hankins. I'm not saying it won't make us better, just that we're still not deep there.

Where are we at QB3? Overlooking that in a 17 game season would be nothing more than foolish. One guy gets hurt, and then the rest of your team's fate rests on that guy not getting hurt. See San Fran last year. It was Karma, in my mind, for the dirty play on Pollard. But they were putting up a fight even with scrubs, after their backup went down with a concussion and the second scrub had to come back in.

They have just set up their offense so that it's easy to run, for almost anyone. Keep is simple stupid. That's what they're doing in San Fran. You just have to have the right players to run that scheme, and it looks like they're doing that to me.

In my view, you don't come out in the first game with Deuce Vaughn. There are still a few things he needs to work on, especially heading into a season. But by game 4-5, I think fans will be urging for him to be in the mix, and by that time, having to be held out, he should be ready. That's how I'd do Deuce, personally. Just because, then, he'd be so mad he'd play his *** off.

Anyway, yeah, I think one more guy in the middle.. and you're set. I personally like Odiggy, hopefully Fehoko is the guy. But another boss DT would set this team up for success.
QB3? Thats a concern?

So, yeah...we're ok.

I think the roster is pretty solid, but there are a lot of spots that can still be upgraded.

Hopkins is the only guy I can think of that makes sense. Lamb, Hopkins, and Cooks is sexy.

They'll be a lot of guys around cur time too, but we also like ours

The most realistic and aggressive way of immediately improving the team would be to trade a draft pick for Deandre Hopkins, Jerry Jeudy, or potentially Dalvin Cook.

I already think we have the pieces on defense to win a championship. I think we did last year, too.

The best chance of getting there would need to involve surrounding the QB with as many high end weapons as possible while we have this defense (specifically a cheap Parsons, who will be the highest paid defensive player ever within a couple years).

I’d look at adding another guard, too.

The draft is over, but certainly we didn't get that close last year and decide we are done now, did we?

If I'm Jerry, I would hand the reigns over to McClay, McCarthy, Quinn, and scouting team from here. Let's figure out a way to get better, and lessen the cap, if we can. For some reason, I smell one or two more free agent additions. If reducing the cap cannot be done, we need to find the weakest link and upgrade it. Add one more weapon, or one more guy to bolster the line.

Would it be totally stupid to have a guy like Henry? No, not in my mind, especially because you could give him a reduced load. Will they do it? I'm not sure enough about the contract details and real-world possibilities.

Even bringing in the best defensive tackle on the market, or making another Hankins-like trade would be great. We got bigger and stronger against the run, but one more run-stopping guy in the middle would be the cherry on top. That's the move I would like to see them make. It all starts with the run, even in the Super Bowl, as we saw last year.

It just so happens that the two most effective passers from last year also had the two most effective run games....

We need a kicker, a possible 3rd QB; don't pull a San Fran like last year, and we need another veteran FA who adds stability to either line or another weapon for Dak. But we need one more cherry on top here from Jerry and I think even the most pessimistic fans would possibly finally give the guy the break I think he's earned the past few years, because he was finally smart enough to allow McClay to do the bulk of the important work. He's still an egofreak. But checking himself some has paid off, and the results are much better.
Because “splash moves” win championships.

I suppose they do, actually, win the social media championships but I don’t really care about that aspect of the sport.

Im waiting till TC there will be some cuts and crossing my fingers is that we don't have any major injuries during TC. We have a solid roster but when the cuts start happening you could get a good player

I get what you are saying but I think the spirit of the op is a move to put the team over the top....which would typically mean a splash type move.

This team has been and is close but always comes up a little short...I think everyone is looking for something extra
