Fun thread.
I agree, we're good enough to challenge for a ticket to the postseason, not good enough to guarantee one or to be considered a conference favorite.
I share Eskimo's assessment of the OL. Though we're going to need a swing T if we start Parnell, and adding another quality rookie piece is pretty important.
At S, we're clearly rolling the dice on a couple players. We need to end up with three players on the roster capable of starting when it's all said and done. Not playing great necessarily, but capable starters. We've got one in Church, even back from injury. The team sure seems to think we've got another in Johnson, though that's a giant question mark. Sterling Moore, at this point, I'd be comfortable playing there in a pinch, or Brandon Carr, but that obviously leaves us thin at CB. The other DBs on the roster are special teamers and role players, so we'll need to add a smart athlete there, or pickup an inexpensive vet later in the offseason.
I'm all on board with adding a DL in the first two picks.
We need a veteran SLB at some point.
Other than that, though, we're really just filing in cracks at backup RB, TE3, maybe a veteran or mid-round value college WR who can play outside in a pinch.
It's the sort of stuff you can do in one offseason if everything breaks right. The most important pieces I think are pretty achievable, but then those untested guys have to play well, too. We might not get everything done, but another thing I like about this coaching staff is that they churn the bottom of the roster, anyway, and seem to find guys like Moore and Sims and Frampton who are capable of giving you meaningful snaps.
