Lets update the ol' checklist:
Going into the off-season we needed to strengthen the following (according to me)
- - -Defensive End - - -Tight End - - -Center - - -Back-up Quarterback - - -Linebacker - - -#2 WR, DT, Offensive line help***
***Not as important as the other needs but cool if you can do it.
As you know, some unexpected cuts were made and unfortunately, laws were broken by some fools on the team so some things have changed.
Gotta fill the hole you created by cutting Dockery. Also gotta plan for a potential suspension of Lynch which they've done.
OF those needs, we have addressed Center, Back-up QB, CB (basically replacing Greer) and WR. Along the way we have re-signed some guys like Jenkins, Chambers, McIntyre and DiGorgio (who will provide real depth at LB).
That leaves us with:
- - -Defensive End - - -Tight End - - -Linebacker - - -DT, RB (for the short-term), Offensive line help***
IF we sign one of the running backs who came in town for a visit and Cato June, that would immediately knock 2 more things off that last, leaving the draft to fill the void for DE, TE, DT and offensive line help.
Other things to watch: Trade for that guy everyone keeps mentioning (Waters) from KC? Figure out Jason Peters contract..
That's it folks. We're not too far off from at least addressing our most pressing needs. Get 'er done Russ!
