I would think they look to get a day 1 starter at backer in the draft.....if they're smart.  Healthy Brown/New Guy/Vigil should be an improvement over last season.  They really need to send Burfict packing, and use that money to either sign another backer or another T.

I liked Brown, still do. But he could be better in coverage. Might as well try to get a released guy like Zach Brown and/or draft a LB high just in case Preston becomes a 1-2 down LB.
