pacman5252 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm in the minority, but I don't think we absolutely need a DL upgrade (would be nice, but we could manage). Lancaster/Lowry are replacement level, not terrible. Unless we are playing SF/Balt/Tenn we can manage. We absolutely need an ILB, RT though. Right now we would be starting Alex Light and Oren Burks which is very scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell - Gary gets a frickin free pass - not too much to ask KeKe gets the same Nah I'm not either, but going into training camp Lancaster will probably be ahead of him.

The current roster doesn't cut it so IMO, D-line is a necessary upgrade after what SF did to us twice.

Right now I’d say have 2 clear holes where we are looking at starting a guys who will be abused or out of position; OT- It is dire there right now ILB- unless Burks pops, we need a guy Places where we would like to upgrade but can manage if need be; TE- stern and ton have potential and flashed a little DL- Lowry is the definition of Jag. Lancaster is a solid role player. Then we have mid round flyers. We could manage against most teams except like SF/Bal WR-similarly to las year, potential for guys to make a jump. More talent would be great though. Other than Adams all we have are JAGs at WR so this position we have a clear hole. And on the DL Clark is the only real good one there so we need more talent here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norse65 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 We need an immovable object in the IDL so it doesn’t have to be Clark taking on the double teams. When OL are tied up at the line the linebackers can go to work without 320 lb people leaning on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Kirksey and Wagner fill holes at their respective positions, but they’re both big ?’s after last season. I suspect we’ll add a IDL in FA or early through the draft. ILB could be possible if the right guy is there. However, I’m thinking we’ll go Reagor, Davis, and the best ILB or WR available in the third as our first three picks. Keke isn’t a JAG simply because he was a rookie. Lancaster‘s return will frustrate a lot of people as he is Clark’s back-up. If Curtis Bolton can stay healthy, he’ll make the team. He had a great camp last year before getting hurt. Summers is a ST guy so he’ll be back. I think we should revisit this topic in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope this isn't the case. I'd like to get a contribution from our early picks next year. I don't think either of those two become much more than a roster body.

pacman5252 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I now say we don't have any grand canyon sized holes as we have filled two starting spots with JAGs. We now could improve OT, ILB, TE, WR, DL. It will be interesting to see who we draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibrett15 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 biggest hole is No. 2 receiving option, No. 3 offensive weapon. Could be filled by one player or two players. Next biggest hole is No. 2 Big on Defense. Easy fill in FA or the draft. Draft will cost big capital though unless you wait on a 2 down only player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But GB won a SB w/ Quarless and Starks on offense, Peprah and the 3-headed edge platoon of Zombo-Walden-BJones on defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
