Game Sunday Reminded Me Of

[thefuzz]

Look at where more good teams spend their money on the D side.

Pass Rush/DE

DT

CB

We need all of the above, and a good S. To go to the playoffs consistently, we have to win the division consistently. IMO that means getting to the QB's and being able to cover 2,3, and 4 WR sets. We also happen to play in a division with two great TE's although Gonzo may be on the way out.

I would go BPA at DT, CB, DE, or S. However those are not positions that Hurney has been very good at drafting.

DL and Secondary take priority. Period.

Beyond that, we need some more help on the OL and still need a future WR1.

i'd be quite happy if we did some combo of WR and safety next year with the first couple picks in the draft.

[Who Said What?]

Yes, SAFETY has long been a need.

The lines are always where the game starts and stops, but think about all of the year-in and year-out elite defenses and their safety play - Polamalu, Reed, etc.

We've ignored it long enough. I think CB is solid, but we need to start looking for another starter in another 2-3 years as Gamble's career will be winding down. Outside of that depth at CB is a must. But safety needs a legitimate starter and depth.

I like CB as well and still think that we can find an up grade to S in the next year. People are acting like Mark Barron is Ed Reed. I understand the frustration after Nakamularkey got beat something terrible. If we do not get one of the studs next year I will be livid. We needed Keuchly. I think Martin will be good depth, and a good special teams guy. The move has hampered his naturally ability by putting to much on him mentally. Nakamura is a joke.

[Growl]

I'd say there's a deep FA class for WRs next year and we shouldn't take the risk, and use the high picks on other positions of need instead but lol at using FA as a part of how we build our team.

Some of the more talented safeties we've showcased in the past few years

Sherrod Martin

Charles Godfrey

Deke Cooper

Marquand Manuel

Jordan Pugh

Yea I'd say safety is a no. 1 need. Especially since it's essential for any accountable secondary

Maybe JR will have an epiphany during this season and Hurney won't be around next year to screw up another draft.

[Montsta]

At this point I'm all for whichever position they have rated higher. If we pick top 10 and grab a S or DL ill be fine with whichever grades out higher. Anything but another 1st round LBer or RB and I'm happy.

To be honest, we don't even have a true #2 right now.

i couldn't agree more. as soon as white caught that pass i thought of smitty catching delhomme's desperation heave and lifting the panthers to a victory. the saints were distraught - that awesome offense stymied by a rebuilding defense that still sucked.

they added a veteran safety the following year, radically increased their level of turnovers, and won a superbowl.

[csx]

I'd wait until the offeseason to worry about it. Making a judgement or projection now is pointless and useless.

That list is horrible, and it just goes back to Marty Hurney again.

i remember a lot of people on this board including me laughing at them for picking up old man darren sharper that year. just having a smart veteran even if he isn't necessarily a freak athlete back there would make a world of difference for us right now.

[SOJA]

safety, DT, DE, OT, WR, CB

safety is top need- then BPA for the rest
