1. OG/C - Putting them together because they're really 1a/1b for me. Berny might be a C option if we upgrade G.
2. RT - Free needs to go, and I'm not going to hitch my wagon to Parnell off of how little we've seen.
3. FS - Sensabaugh needs to go, and Church needs to move to SS.
4. RB - Need an able body to cover for Murray's annuanl injuries.
5. DE - Spencer is not going to be re-signed. Crawford might be an option, but we need depth.
6. DT - I think Hatcher/Ratliff are starters, and Price could be a steal. Still need a youth injection.
7. OLB - WLB specifically, although I like Albright
8. MLB - Wasn't impressed with Connors. Sims could be signed to back up Lee. If not, neither Lemon nor McSurdy are 4-3 MLBs.
9. QB - Need a third guy to develop.
10. WR - Could argue to make this higher. Dez & Harris are keepers. Miles is inconsistant. Rest are unknown.
11. SS - Need someone to back up Church, and capable to start should Church be slow to recover.
12. CB - Solid top 4 with Carr, Claiborn, Moore, and Scandrick.

I don't know where it falls in the rankings but can we get them some new underwear/shorts for under the uniform, so we don't have to watch a season full of Bryant and Murray's ass cracks. There was one game where I saw so much crack, I wasn't sure if I was watching football or porn.

Outside of Murray, we have nothing. Now, I thought highly of Tanner going into the season, but he was a complete non-factor this year. Part of the RB problem could be solved if we improved needs #1 and #2, but really, we have no one who defenses have to 'fear' when Murray is out of the lineup.

Murray has a huge impact on the game.


I think long term, Dline is a major concern. But I think Ware, Ratliff, Hatcher, Crawford would be a better than average starting DL for 2013. We need a lot of depth. Not sure how Lissemore fits anymore. Hoping Price pans out.

DL is a huge need moving forward though.

But I think we could contend in 2013 if we improved the top 4 needs first.

I dont know how Tanner could be judged with the offensive line he was running behind. Murray had limited success when he was healthy due to the putrid line.
Not saying Tanner is anything special, but RB are a dime a dozen, especially backups

Even with our putrid line, defenses played us a lot different when Murray was in the game. No one behind him was even a threat.

And it wasn't just the line. Something about Tanner failed to impress the coaching staff, because he never saw the field this year despite all the injuries.

I just think we need a real #2 back. I'd like to get a banger with a hint of speed.

Having DE and DT ranked 5th and 6th is essentially saying they aren't huge needs.

Talking shit like RB is a bigger need...lmfao...FS is a huge need and that isn't even a bigger need

To sum it up.

Its two years of rebuilding the team under good qualified people.

We will have Jerry/Stephen and Tom ciskowski trying to do it in 1.

No need to even worry about what will happen, we all know.

Don't you mean SLB? I was under the impression that Carter would be the WLB or Will.

I'd drop this down to 6.

I'd move this up to 4. Crawford will have to make a huge jump otherwise.

I feel like Carter will play WLB. They are talking SLB for Albright which I think is a big mistake.

Sims could play all 3 of the 4-3 LB spots. Lemon and McSurdy both can play in a 4-3 as well. They both started at MLB in 4-3 schemes in college.
