This year we were late getting to it, but it's finally here. Seasons over and now we look to the draft and FA. Most of my life we've been at this point for 3 months already.
I have a couple knee jerk reactions, but I guess I should probably wait to say anything. But it seems more than ever we have some very obvious areas of need.
Holes (in no order yet)
-- Interior OL. Glasgow was supposed to be a backup, but I think he started like 14+ games. He played well, but that left us with no depth.
-- Pass rushing DT. Need a complete DT but not a NT type.
-- DE. Would have been nice to see enough of Houston. But Hutch has developed into a hell of an all around player. He's actually played mostly stack end thi season but still lead the team in sacks and pressures.
--WR. Reynolds on his best day was barely adequate as a #3. His best days are gone. Marvin was brought in to ease the pressure. He didn't. DPJ was brought in for something, he didn't. Raymond was/is nothing. Jamo still hasn't developed. We need really any sort of production here.
--CB #1, #2, #4, maybe #5 too. I think Branch has a lock on that nickle spot. I still think Sutton would be solid if he wasn't trying to cover superstar #1's without help because we're blitzing and while the QB has time because we're not getting enough pressure. But the way he's played lately we could sign Okudah off the couch. Need something here. Anything. Problem is rookies usually take a while to develop too, so we need to draft some and still sign another round of band aids like we did this season.
-- Kicker. Obviously Campbell didn't trust anyone he had this season. I want go give him the benefit of the doubt and say that's a bigger part of his decision making than he ever let's on. But he's not gonna throw his guys under the bus either. Making a Kicker switch innthe middle of the season to a guy he had already cut earlier kind of points that way to me.
Those are all of the glaring actual holes I see. Always need depth. Always need Special teams guys. I don't know whose contracts are expiring, almost all of our important pieces are still young. Is Sewell coming off his rookie deal this year? Is he happy being a high end RT, or will he want to be a LT? Is he willing to be paid like a RT or will he want LT money? Do they let Goff play out his deal or sign him now? Probably gets a raise, and a raise at QB can be the difference between 2-3 other roster spots.
