Preston Brown and Nigel Bradham both need an upgrade.

Carpenter just needs to get his head straight.

Big upgrade needed at TE depth.

Draft

ROT in round 1. Hopefully Henderson makes it back and provides excellent depth. Goodbye Kujo.

Starting safety in Rd 2. Hopefully someone that could perform day one like Darby. Probably need very intelligent Safety. Hit the road Duke & Leodis.

LB in Rd 3.

LB/De in rd 4 and 5.

 

Fill #2 WR, #2 TE free agency and #1 ILB..

John Miller is far from a sure thing.

 

Agreed. I thought he showed up as advertised: strong run blocker, meh pass protection. In the NFL it became OK run blocker, pass protection needs work! He's not a sure thing, but he looked promising enough for a rookie that I'd give him another year.

 

FB - Felton (UPGRADE)

LB, OL and WR look to be our needed. Let's get it done and upgrade this team for the long haul, OBD.

 

Felton was a disappointment to me, but he's historically been good, and his contract is such we only save $350k by cutting him. Does not make sense to me. Keep him and hope another year makes him more effective.

 

You seem to have missed some of the biggest upgrades you called out - DE (replace Mario Williams) and Kicker, which you called "Massive Upgrade". (I'd be more" see what next year brings" with Carpenter, but I think it really rots Rex's rutabagas to burn 2 roster spots on a kicker and kickoff specialist, so I think they're gone)

 

What happened to this year's Mike ILB Brown in your e v a l? Bradham is not an ILB, BTW. I'd put that as a big need to upgrade, though I think Brown is a far better player than he showed this year.

He simply was ineffective as he was used this year. Rex asks a lot from his LB, especially his ILB.

 

So adding to your list....LB, especially ILB...DE/rush OLB. RT, big sucka WR, Kicker. In addition, if Rex wants to play more of a conventional 3-4 front, Kyle Williams is NOT the space-eating NT he needs. Dareus could do it, but what a waste!

 

Now we have.. ILB, DE, RT, WR, kicker, NT

 

That's kind of a lot to pick up in the draft and FA with no budget.
