Very Early look at next year's needs!

[exciter]

-I do believe they will bring in a #2 WR, question is will it be another low valued player? My guess they get a short-term bridge and look to draft a high WR next yr.

-Schoon kind of broke out last season when Ferguson was down. We have to understand TE's have a steep learning curve, remember Shultz was fighting for a roster spot his 1st couple of seasons. Ferguson needs to have a bounce back season and Schoon needs to continue to show improvement.

-Wilson to me remains a June 1st candidate, he is a poor fit as a deep safety and it is my understanding the nickel in Eberflus scheme plays more like that box safety against the run.

-Agree about Marist, but we just don't know how Overshown will be after 2 major knee surgeries with the last one being most severe. I really want the UCLA LB who reminded me of Sean Lee.

-I think Diggs/Bland with be fighting for 1 spot for 2026. Someone also needs to emerge as the nickel corner to replace Lewis. Still have hope for Carson, Butler in the pipeline.

-This class was loaded at the DT position, if they were going to take a high one, this was the year. This tells me that they will never make it a priority.

They have used both June 1st designations for this season.
Cutting Diggs immediately accelerates 17m dead space into this season’s cap.
Waiting until next season it’s 9m that can be split between 2 seasons as a June 1st designation!

They cut Diggs?

Yes, a ton will happen in between now and next offseason, but let's take a very early look at our 2026 needs:

1) WR-let's keep in mind both Tolbert/Campbell will be fa's after this season.
2) TE-Ferguson is a fa after this season.
3) Safety-I believe Wilson's contract is up after this season and Hooker is the following yr
4) LB-even if Overshown comes back healthy, depth remains thin as Murray/Sanborn will be fa's
6) CB-A decision needs to be made on Bland, probably cannot keep him and Diggs on big contracts. If one departs, still have one spot to fill.
6) DT-it will depend upon how Mazi performs in year 3 and our draftee from UCLA.

Same as this year's needs: DT, DT.

Everything pales in comparison to the need at DT.

My guess the needs will be (first3 pic) any order DT1,WR,RB. Fast RB's get Nicked.

Jerry is way too dense to even understand that we have a huge need at DT.

NT, LT are the most glaring holes, but we have two first rd picks still developing. Bring in veterans to both spots to help with their development, push them to play better and be in essence insurance policies if they struggle.
