Our biggest needs in order are:
MLB - With Dat Nguwin retiring, we have NO legitimate starter here. Because of that, this is our biggest need. We have other LB's that are good for quality-depth, however, none are starter-qulaity.
RT - Pettiti needed a TE to help him block for the first 7 games. Once Flo went down Pettiti was left on his own moreso. His productivity plummeted as a result, indicationg he's no more than a backup-qulaity RT. Over time he may develop into the starting role, but for now, we have a void at the starting RT position. Depth can be filled by Torin Tucker who plays better when asked to fill in on the right side.
K - Obviously we need a new kicker. We have no true starters on the roster right now.
FS - Keith Davis is a hitter and will be kept because of that and for his special teams play. His cover-2 skills are lacking, however. With time, he can potentially develop those skills, but he's not there yet. Keeping him as the starter would not be that horrible, however an upgrade to a true coverage-FS would improve the secondary and allow Roy Willimas to do what he does best: play close to the LOS in run support.
C - Al Johnson wore down as the season went on. If he bulks up he can potentially grow into the full-time starters' role. Until then, Gurode offers a bigger body and a good change-of-pace. Moving Gurode to a RG position (to compete with Rivera) and bringing in a center to push Johnson for the starting job would be a wise experiment to undertake.
LT - With Flo coming back as the starter, we mainly have a void for depth at the position. Torin Tucker does not back up the LT position nearly as well as he does RT. Moving Tucker back to backing-up RT - as he further develops - would be a good move. However this leaves a void at the LT-backup position.
Your thoughts???
