Not to you, but to the people talking about how great Bush is...like we missed him:
The team had too many needs to fill in one draft. We needed offensive line and LB mainly. OT is a premium position. IF you can add the one rated highest in the draft, you do it. We probably go Jonah even if Bush is there.
But, we should have added a LB or 2 in free agency like LJ Fort. There were some other guys I liked too.
Agreed. I have said for ages that Dalton is a surgeon when protected even remotely well. This offense will roll if he gets even average protection as I believe they were already solid as run blockers.
LB help would have been nice earlier in the draft, but I am with you on the FAs that they didn't pursue. Unless they believe their scheme will make the likes of Evans and maybe even Jefferson look a lot better than they have in the past, but even then, their experience at the position is paper thin, and that unit was decimated by injuries last year.
On a side note, I am impressed with the work Preston Brown has put in at this point in his career. Knowing he would likely be asked to play more nickel, he worked to drop some weight and improve his abilities in space. For a veteran guy at this point in his career, well, I don't think we saw such dedication from a Rey Maualuga.
