Now, if EVERYONE is back next year, I would say the needs are:
1. Safety. I'm high on Derron Smith and Shawn Williams. The replacement may already be on the roster.
2. LB. I think this part of the team has the least quality depth. I would love to see a true MIKE on this team that could cover down the seam as well as punish people in the running game.
3. DT. I think we need another BIG run stuffing DT. Sims hasn't been as big of a factor as I thought he would be in the rotation.
I'm with you on this, especially at DT. Sims must have been viewed as back up only going in, though we'd be hurting a little if we had a top pick in training instead. At least Sims has experience. Hunt is another I'd like to see replaced with an upgrade.
And am I the only one wondering if Kirkpatrick is ever going to get "there"? Missed tackles still, and giving too much cushion causing him to scramble to catch up is driving me nuts (not a far drive). Can't have too many top CB's these days.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
