"biggest positions of need"

I think the idea being what we still have vs. what we don't. In reality, despite cap situation and whatnot, the stable of McNair, Volek, and Mauck stacks up pretty decent around the league...I'm really just guessing, not really defending...

 

The only positions where they immediately need starters are WR and LB.

Our secondary is young and could use depth, but I think they could start with who is on the roster.

At QB, they don't need anyone right now, but it's probably a save assumption to say that we'll draft a QB and move either McNair or Volek.

Center is a question. I think Bell or Amano could play center. It's a question of what the coaches think. Maybe they feel they need someone better.

We need another DE or DT for depth, though we don't necessarily need a starter. I'd say our starting DLine is set unless they get really good value at DE.

 

I would put LB before Wr but other than that it looks good

 

Amano already knows the center position. Bell would have to learn (not sure when he last played C), but he probably has more upside. Certainly he was a standout at guard 2 years ago.

Neither of these guys was a starter last year, so they don't create any holes in the OLine. We'll have to add someone for depth purposes to replace them, but that's it.

 

I think we need 1 major player for each position named.
One big receiver (Free Agent), One guy in secondary (Free Agent), a QB (Draft), Linebacker (Free Agent or Draft), a Center (Free Agent), Defense End we are ok for now!

 

imo. just cause we paid Mcnair 1 mil does not mean he will be with the team next year. I think I just read that Mcnair will count 23 mil against the cap. thats crazy.

 

We didn't pay him $1M yet
