Agreed, have to see what happens with FA, trades, and keeping Wade Phillips.

And what about replacing Jacoby Jones with a receiver with decent hands and PR ability.

That is Wright. Think JJ if he was fast and made lots of plays.

A couple of these positions might be able to be addressed with guys already on the roster:

ILB: Sharpton was alternating with DeMeco before he got hurt and looked like the heir apparent there.

CB: They traded up into the 2nd round to get Brandon Harris, supposedly stealing him from the Steelers, but the fact that he spent most of the year inactive despite being healthy isn't real encouraging. Hopefully he'll make big strides with a full offseason. Roc Carmichael went on the IR early and may also be able to contribute next year.

Thinking outside the box, what if a stud TE is available late in the first? More teams, particularly the Patriots, are using tight ends in various ways and formations to create mismatches. Perhaps instead of a #2 wide receiver, we might look for another Aaron Hernandez and run more 2 TE sets with Daniels.

My thought is you are in a bad spot if your QB throws into triple coverage repeatadly and it won't helpbwho your second WR or TE's are if that is where you are.

Don't we already have 4 good TE if we want to run those sets?

Ok. Plenty time to discuss draft alternatives.

Could be just BPA when we draft.

So what's the big deal with a NT? In Wade's system we don't need one. And what was so wrong with the job that Cody did? We were #4 against the rush with him.
