Hi all,
I was out of town for most of the week so I didn't get a chance to post. I keep reading a lot of posts about who is to blame...but I don't see many on the actual impact.
As you know, I contend that since we don't really use free agency...we can't hit on enough draft picks to replace all of our needs and losses in free agency. At minimum we need 4 new offensive lineman...and perhaps have some lesser needs at other positions.
With these extra 2 draft picks...basically equivalent to end of 1st and 2nd Round picks...we COULD have really addressed the offensive line bigtime.
2nd and 3rd Round picks are prime spots for good Centers and Guards. Then take a Tackle with your 1st Round pick. Then you still have a 4th pick in that mix and I'm not even counting Comp picks.
We could have conceivably added a T, C, G, and LB or TE with our picks.
Now, who knows what we'll do. Probably a DT or DE as Atkins and Dunlap are going to be free agents.
