Top Needs for Next Year

[Sydla]

As a Hawkeyes fan can I just say Desmond King and then sign a free agent de

FA defensive end is a pretty bare wasteland. JPP is overpriced, Jones will be tagged. After them and maybe Ingram............ yuck. This is not the offseason to be needing a dominant DE in free agency.

I've watched Desmond for years: great player, great kid. I'd love him in a Cowboy uni. We should have an extra pick or two from Romo trade as well.

I'm hoping we can get a bidding ear for Romo... Maybe between Houston and Denver. I'm hoping it's a good team because if we don't win a Super Bowl next year I want it to be Romo who does. Ideally in a Dak versus Romo game.

Thing is....the ONLY reason we got this far was Dak, Zeke and Brown. Our rookie class was beyond BELIEF. If we get one half that good next season (plus the Romo trade picks) we'll be ready to roll.

If Houston went silly on you and offered Clowney for Romo, would you do it?

You watching the KC game now? They could use him...BIG time.

Few reports I've seen say Elway and Denver don't want him. Houston has a TON of money wrapped up in Osweiler but he's beyond brutal. Tell you this: I'd rather KEEP him next year than give him up for a 3rd or 4th rounder. If we can't get a 1st or 2nd....keep him.

Don't see them moving past Smith but that works

Geez man....go to bed and sleep it off.

I suspect there are some who would say no. You'd get excuses like Clowney is too lazy, you can get more than just Clowney for him, etc.

A NEW HEAD COACH AND COACHING STAFF

Well first year DEs rarely do much so it's free agency or this will be our defense next year. Smith should add a bit assuming he comes back but yea...

 

[MileyDancer]

Seeing has defense wins championships all resources should be spent on that side of the ball this offseason...

Dont get cute we have an offense that can win us a ship.... we just need a defense that can be blown through like a used tissue paper

Except offenses have been what are winning games all playoff long.

 

[ilykdrama]

Yeah I'm already over this loss (kinda). This season was incredible. I truly expected 6 wins and getting 13 is absolutely remarkable. DAK cemented the fact that he is indeed a franchise QB today. So here is in my opinion the top needs for next year.

1. Defensive End. I have done no research yet. Will there be and Free Agent DE's worth signing?

2. Safety. Barry Church is nice but an upgrade would be nice.

3. RT. Chaz Green would be nice but who knows how that will pan out!?

4. WR. Would be nice but a luxury to have a dynamic big guy on the opposite side of Dez

5. Backup QB. With Romo most likely leaving we needs a different backup and not one with the name Mark Sanchez

I would list TE but I just have a feeling Swaim will be a good one.

Anybody with more knowledge than me on the college game know My name's to watch that we could potentially target at DE in the draft?

Good write up. Defense only. Ever. For 3 seasons. They are an embarrassment to say the least.

I mean you can look at the FA defensive end list yourself, but it's bare. Really bare.

Maybe trade for one?

Mkay. Would like you to show the last team that did not feature a top 10 fielded defense and win the super bowl..

I can give you a hint... the 07 colts ring a bell?

 

[Sydla]

Maybe trade for one?

Which is where I was going with the Romo-Clowney thing above. If you want bonafide, experience DE infusion to this team, it may have to come from a trade.

I suspect what's going to happen is they will draft another DE or two and just hope like hell that guy, Tapper and then continued development from Irving solves the issue.
