Getting ZT so late stunted free agency last year IMO. I think they didn't make too many moves because they didn't feel they had a good evaluation of the current talent and fit with their schemes.
Now, with a year under their belt, they may be more confident in what they need and who is expendable. I expect this to translate into more moves in FA this year and possibly attaining higher quality FAs than we are used to.
Time will tell, but I'm hopeful that this organization is finally open to change and that last year was a dead year due to the timing of everything.
I feel the same way. Was even pretty bummed that the Rams made the SB last year because it ate up important offseason scouting time and evaluating what we already had. Much different after going through a full season, especially a 2-14 season. You learn a lot about what you have then.
I agree with the thinking that we will probably go after a bigger name or 2 on D and second level guys on OL. As far as LB and OL is concerned, it wont even take top tier to get better because we are so weak, but the better the better. We need a QB of the defense and Id love to see a really good LB here to play with Pratt. Definitely excited to see what direction we go. We have enough resources between money, expendable players and excellent draft position that could set this team up for a long time if they do this right. This is a big offseason.
