Agreed these guys are so bias with their Texas love. It's crazy.
While skill positions are very important, it all starts up front. No OL, no offense. No DL, no defense.
In no particular order:
OL: We seem to have found a backup OT and future starter in Free. Yes, it's still too early to tell but it looks promising. We have nothing but a marginal backup C. He's servicable but that's it. Now, I've always said he's better than what we hear from the vast majority on here state. And he could prove to be more than servicable. Yes, I said that with a st8 face. But I ain't holding my breath for that to happen. So we need a future starting center. OG needs updating. I fear there is no future starter on the team but I'm not counting the injured OL we took this year either.
WR: We need a playmaker. You must have a go to guy and/or a playmaker. Imagine what this team would be like with an Irvin out there each Sunday. I'm not holding my breath on Ogletree either although I like the kid. I think he will be a player but emphasis on think. This is a must need in the draft or FA. I would vastly suggest drafting one.
RB: only if a playmaker falls in our laps.
QB: always look to find the next starting QB. You should draft or find one every year. They are worth picks at the least.
TE: only if a playmaker falls to us.
FB: they should find one who can catch the ball and run some, too. This is an underutilized position on this team.
DE: if Spears leaves which is likely IMO, we will need to fill this somehow
DT: you can never have enough DTs. On this team they need to be able to play NT first. We still use DTs and Bowen has done well here and at DE. He could replace Spears IMO. If Hatcher goes too then this is a must draft as well.
Mike: we need a future starter at this position. We don't have a backup either.
Mo: Brooking has been sensational. We need his future backup next year or the next. Look for Williams to fill that role if he recovers.
OLB: this is a must need as well unless one is already on the team. I'd draft one high if they fall to us.
FS: I think Sensabaugh will go there and M Hamlin will be a good SS. JMO
SS: Hamlin has played better this year but I look for Mike to beat him out before next year is over.
CB: You can never have enough CBs to play in this league. We are better than steady here but one injury and we are average at best. Again, if a stellar CB falls to us in the 1-3 rounds we should jump all over them. Unless they are better OLBs or OL available.
We are strong enough that we can draft the BPA at any position. If our offense and 3rd down defense can pull it together then we will draft low in the first round.
