Very Early look at next year's needs!

I think Schotty will focus on 2nd level players and playmakers.
1.WR
2. MLB
3. CB
4. RB
5. 1T
6. DE
7. TE
 
How much this will be a need may depend on how we develop Turpin's role and the development of a young player like Flournoy. If we sign a vet receiver to a one-year deal to be No. 2, then this will be a top need next year.

Kind of the same with this position. How big of a need it is will depend on Schoonmaker and Spann-Ford's development. Frankly, I think we'll re-sign Ferguson and not do anything big here because we'll have the two backups returning.

I'm hopeful that Eberflus gives Thomas and Bell real shots at Wilson and Hooker's jobs. Bell's under contract for three years and Thomas will be a RFA. We'll need depth no matter what, but we need to find out if we'll need bona fide starters.

What we need will depend on Overshown's return from injury and Liufau's development. I could see Sanborn returning for cheap again unless he plays himself into a bigger contract.

I think it will be interesting to see how this sorts itself out. If Revel proves that he has the starting ability we think he has, then I could see us paying Bland and getting out of the Diggs' contract. However, if Revel is slow to take hold and Diggs bounces back strong, would we sign Bland to a big contract? I think most likely that Diggs is gone, but we might be hesitant if all those who try to step up into the role look like the corners who tried to step in for Bland last year. That was mostly ugly.

All of us wanted a DT early because of our concerns about Mazi. Well, this should be his last chance to alleviate those concerns. If he can't, he's a one-contract player, we don't pick up his fifth-year option and we need to look for a starting NT (unless Toia can be that). With Thomas on a one-year deal, we may also be looking for someone to rotate with Odighizuwa. It will probably just be another cheap FA, though, and then some late-round stab like we made this year.
I wonder if we use Donovan Wilson could be a cut or trade candidate this yr as he is a poor fit in Eberflus scheme as he is poor on coverage.
