Is this safe to say that we need to focus heavily on defense in the 2012 draft?

Dont get ahead of urselves those issues on defense should have been addressed in the draft this year. But Jerry always has to wait a year til its so blatantly obvious its awful. We should have drafted a S and CB this past April.

I thought the backup WRs looked better than the starters last night. The defense looked awful however, so that is where the draft should focus.
well yea the focus should be on defense, but that doesn't mean we can totally ignore the other side of the ball

Zeus Alive, it's still August.

A few months from now you'll be saying it is already January. Time trucks on and this season will be over before you know it.

Should be 7 picks on defense. Lets see if Jerry can avoid the shiny object for the second year in a row.
 
Yea, pretty obvious that it is the defense that needs alot of work to get into championship form. I would say we are 2-3 drafts away from having a top 5 defense.

I think the offense is going to have to carry the team this year either because there has not been enough time to learn Ryan's system on defense or because our players are just not that good.


Look for alot of shootouts this year and 8-8, maybe 9-7 record.
 
DEfense, SAFETY,Corner, Offense Guard, Slot receiver(if not found this year) i hope Harris can be tHat slot guy,
 
Well we need CBs. And a safety if they're there when we draft. But we should draft the BPA at a position of need if there and if not the BPA.

I was think that exact thought either earlier today or yesterday.

I would like to see us draft at least one more linemen early in the first couple rounds, but other than that I would concentrate on the defense.

Defense needs a serious infusion of youth and talent.

I would actually probably like to see us draft a cornerback in the first round. But it all depends on what is available. We could also use a linemen or a linebacker. But the entire draft should basically be defense.
 
I'm not worried about the 2012 draft because, last I checked, we've yet to even play the 2011 season.

Considering all the top corners were taken and it being a weak safety class who should have been drafted??
