    1. Oline (lacks leadership and experience)
    2. Cb (no #1 corner)
    3. Fs (don't have one on the roster)
    4. Rb (no talent)
    5. Wr (lack a true #1, maybe dgb can be that guy)

    Our roster is full of holes. We either have no starter or no depth at every position. We need to sign/draft at least 20 players this offseason.

    This evaluation is completely ignoring our biggest issues, the fo. I like the robinson hire and hope the owners/underwood sit back and shut the **** up.

    In all honesty we need potentially 4 new offensive linemen starters. Starting to give up on Warmack. Mariota has zero time to throw the ball and it's leading to this short dump off pass offense. He has no time to allow routes to develop, especially when our WRs aren't getting the best separation. The defense doesn't respect our run game at all.

    Partly agree - I don't think our future RB is on this team. Andrews & Cobb have backup potential, but we need our go to back.. somebody who the defense fears. Force them to respect the run, pack the box, and open it up for Mariota.

    Regadless, if we don't fix the OL it won't matter who we bring in at RB.

    Finding a FS is huge. Griffin has screwed over this defense long enough. I appreciate his time here, but cut him (saving mad $), & bring in a upgrade. Berry is a dream, Gipson from CLE is very interesting, also love Cash from Duke & Bell from OSU. Still desperately need a CB1.

    I want an upgrade at ILB. Mularkey has been babbling about a physical team, well let's stop getting ran all over!

    Honestly, if you just look at their play, it's all 5! But looking a little closer and we see the same thing nearly across the board. They are poor in technique (footwork, hand placement) and are somehow confused as to WHO to block. This speaks to a coaching problem (poor technique and fundamentals and being confused on line calls in the same scheme they've been in for more than a year). Ironically, Warmack has the most fundamental technique issues after being a consistent technique guy coming out for a college player, and Lewan is the biggest Culprit in being confused as to who he's supposed to block. Even more disturbing to me watching the Jets game at the stadium sitting first row behind the titans bench is that Lewan is telling the other guys what to do when HE doesn't know what to do!!! Schwenke has good technique but has been injury prone.

    Need some more talent, but we might see some good dividends paid off with a GOOD OL coach and a new scheme and with Poutasi playing LG (where he should have been from the beginning)! So, lots of ways to go but I'm HOPING the coaching change and scheme change will pay dividends without having to throw out the whole OL and start again.

    This is the problem. I can't really judge the rb's because the OL has been SOOOO bad!!! I want no part of Derrick Henry in rnd 1 or top of 2 as I think he's a bit faster Eddie Lacy. Without blocking, which we currently don't have, he's not going anywhere for the most part.


    How do you compare Gipson to Nelson (Bengals)?

    Tis why I was hoping we could have taken Kendricks last year, not DGB and Lockett in the 3rd. Oh well. Some definite ILB talent in this draft!

    I liked and agree with Robinsons comment that there is not a team in the league with five real starters at Ol. I think if we came up with three more starters at Ol and a stud rb through fa/draft it would be the quickest way to make this team recover and competitive.

    Walker was deserving and I think he had some sort of $ bonus tied into ProBowl

    Are some of you asking for another inexperienced OL early in the draft with our #1? The 3 stooges is what we are asking for? We should bring in a veteran center, draft Ramsey, and then I don't have an idea. The team needs a little of everything. My best solution is to somehow swing a deal with the Browns and get Mack (saw somewhere that he wants out), draft Ramsey and then continue to draft for our D, while possibly picking up some other FA OL, or address it in the 3rd.
