My guess is that we will look to fill immediate holes at the beginning, and back fill with quality talent from then on.
Here is my assessment of team needs, in order of severity:
CRITICAL NEED
1. Starting Caliber WR (Literally no one outside of Bowe)
2. Starting Caliber Center (if Weigmann retires, and if they don't plan on moving Asamoah to C)
3. Starting Caliber Nose Tackle (Smith may not return, Edwards is not a starter)
SERIOUS NEED
1. Future Starting Caliber OLB (Studebaker can start until grooming is done)
2. WR depth (We have zero depth at this position. The cupboard is bare.)
3. QB depth (Brodie's all but gone, Palko sucks, a prospect back up is needed)
NEED
1. RT depth (Someone to push Barry Richardson)
2. Safety depth (Mcgraw is old and slow, and he's our last real option)
3. RB depth (Jones wears down as the season goes on, and we have to have production outside of JC in terms of short yardage/goal line situations. Dexter will help slightly on the speed back plays)
WANT
1. Inside Linebacker to put next to DJ. (An upgrade would be nice)
2. A second Starter Caliber TE (Think New England. Also, Moeaki could go down at any given time)
3. A second prospect at Guard (Having Asamoah is nice, having another would be twice as nice. Waters is getting old, and Lilja is no spring chicken.)
I think we are 13 players (2 Drafts/Free Agencies) away from having a "complete team" assuming everyone plays to their potential. If Cassel starts regressing, it could be 4 years until we are a complete, perennial SB contending team built for longevity.
We are on the right path, I'd like to think.
Hopefully we have another home run draft class!
