An entire new defense.
- DE or OLB. Someone who can get to the QB. An Aldon Smith type. Biggest need, bar none.
- Depth at CB
- Depth at OG
- POSSIBLY a QB, although I'd give Weeden a year in Chudzinski's system which is geared toward big-armed galoots like Weeden.
RT-most scrambles were because polumbus got beat bad
FS- Madieu sucks ass and is a big reason for at least 2 losses (Giants, Bengals) and possibly Panthers giving up a 90 yard TD pass. With tanard and meriweather coming back, I'm not too worried. Our DBs blow but in the 2 quarters meriweather played this year, the defense went ham.
CB- Hall, Wilson, and Cedric are decent...maybe with an actual safety up top they won't get exposed anymore.
A pass rusher would be nice but with Orakpo and Carriker coming back from season ending injuries, our front 7 is a strength.
Backup RB- Royster is too small and couldn't spell Morris at all. Helu is the ideal backup because he has speed and good hands but who knows if he can come back from his season endin injury.
Skins got destroyed this season by season ending injuries and suspensions to multiple starters and still won 10 games. If RG can come back anywhere close to the same level, it should be them and the giants competing for the division again
QB
WR
LB
TE
1. OL or best defensive player available should a great one slip
2. OL
3. OL
4. If three OL already, then best prospect between QB, RB, or Def
5. Ditto
6. OL
7. OL or DL
In order of importance.
WR...time to get the guy that AJ will pass the torch to.
ILB...the depth issues really hurt this team. After Cushing went down it was just a mixed bag of poo.
DB...anyone with pair of eyes can see this.
OL...need to shore up that right side.
QB...it has already been mentioned that the Texans aren't ruling out drafting a QB if they see one they like. I'm all for pulling an Alex Smith on Schaub if the right QB is there.
In order of importance: QB, LB, WR, TE, SS, CB. We need both OLB's and ILB's badly, but who we'll draft will depend on DC Mike Pettine's schemes (3-4, 4-3). At CB I can't believe I actually want the Bills to retain McKelvin. He's decent enough to be a #2 or a good nickel. Gilmore improved down the stretch so hopefully he pans out as well. Aaron Williams is awful
I know its become a cliche among Bills fans, but they really need to move Williams to safety and see if he has a future there. He has no business being a corner in the NFL. I can't believe I actually thought he was going to be good.
He'd be a FS though--and unless Byrd isn't re-signed (which would be tragic)--we still wouldn't need him. Maybe if he can learn how to play SS![]()
Word on the street is the new FO/Staff might fancy a run at Mallet
Colts will most likely fill most needs through FA with 45 mil in cap space but they need
O-line
#2 Corner
SS
Pass rusher (once Freeney leaves)
DT (if Chapman tuns out to be nothing)
Big WR
RB
OLB
crofl...if you're the Colts, you use all your draft picks and cap space on O-Line. Holy that unit sucks
I seriously don't even know what the Niners need, they're such a complete team.
Except for a DT to replace Justin Smith as he ages
Ayatullah Khamenei speaking on student riots never gets old. I watch it a least once a week, tbh.
Would love to steal Levitre away from you guys since Long and Clady are pipe dreams
i hope you give us byrd...
Left tackle, anyone on defense, preferable CB or a pass rusher.
1.Kicker
2.QB...let Alex Smith go, get what we can.
3.Big physical speed receiver.
That's it.
Having Smith there is now just a distraction, he needs to go.
IIRC Mike Lombardi has been high on Mallet for a while. (Browns fans HATE HATE HATE Lombardi BTW, dating back to when he was here during the Belichick era. The meltdowns when he was hired were absolutely epic.)
I actually think the Browns are one quality offseason away from being a good team. If they do things right this winter/spring they could be a 10-win team in 2013. There is talent on this roster, on both sides of the ball.
Our greatest need is the O-line but I'd rather see us sign a couple OL through free agency than draft anymore. Wouldn't mind seeing our first couple picks on LB's.
