Hired Jim Schwartz. Why? - The team's biggest investment at the time was Glenn Dorsey, a 4-3 DT. Titans D was one of the best in the league and they had a knack at developing DL. Not to mention Schawartz is one of the best football minds in the game.
Free Agency
Jim Leonhard, SS - Starter for the D, main reason is I love his special teams play
Michael Boley, LB - Starter at OLB for us, him and DJ would form a solid OLB core
Jeff Garcia, QB - Starter/keep the seat warm for our rookie QB
Mike Karney, FB - Starter at FB, bye bye Mr. Cox
Daniel Loper, G/T - Starter/keep the seat warm until I can replace him
Draft
1. Mark Sanchez, QB - The Franchise QB
2. Rey Maualuga, LB - Starter/new leader for the young defense
3. Antonie Caldwell, C - Starter/potential to be our center for the next 10 years
4. Lawrence Sidbury, DE - Our pass rusher
5. Duke Robinson, G - Steal in the 5 see Caldwell's write up
6. James Davis, RB - solid backup to LJ
7. Mike Mikens, CB - depth at corner
7. Ryan Succopp, K - Our kicker for the next few seasons

Bottom Line
I wouldn't expect a much better record than what we have currently. I would expect to see improvement in all three phases and smart, discplined football. Also I doubt Sanchez would be starting until the Jaguars game either. Thats why I would have brought in Garcia. Take the lumps during the brutal start and let the young OL gel. Defense I think would be improved. Maualuga would bring nastiness to our defense and a leader. Leonhard would help our ST's. Overall I wouldn't expect much in terms of win/losses but I want this team clicking in December where I expect bc they are young still lose, but knowing that 2010 season we will be a team to be heard from or at least be a pain in the ass to everybody we play.
