   Here’s what scares the crap out of me. Let’s look at what we need:
   Quarterback
   At least 2 offensive lineman (preferably) three.
   Slot receiver
   That’s 4 or 5 needs on offense.

   Now comes defense:
   Top defensive end (Pass rusher)
   Middle linebacker that can cover
   1 Cornerback that can fill Rhonde’s shoes and has lightning reflexes.
   That’s a minimum of 3 guys on defense.

   Special Teams:
   New punter
   top return guy (hopefully, both punts and kickoffs)
   That’s a minimum of 2 guys on special teams.

   All together now, guys. That adds up to 9 or ten impactful bodies to make this team any where near competitive.
   Where do they come from? Only 3 spots are going to come from the draft. The rest are simply depth.
   So that leaves 6 or 7 spots that need to be filled through free agency and trades. You already know our great record in FA last year. So, do you have confidence that the braintrust can bring in 6 or 7 top players to fill those holes?
   The numbers are just too overwhelming. I would guess the best that can be done is hit on 6 total spots (3 from draft, 3 from FA or a trade) and the remainder is going to be more of the same crap we have seen this year.

   At least 2-14 is good enough to secure the top draft spot.

   Draft Winston, (2) guards, MLB, CB, FS, DE then in FA get a punter, DE, punt returner, LB. Then bring in a lot of undrafted FA to camp and see who sticks for depth and contributors right away.
