Top 3 remaining needs?

Here's my thoughts,

# 1 LG, The biggest loss of talent this offseason has been Norwell. Sirls is likely the lead candidate to start at this point but I don't think the team wants to bank on that. 

# 2 WR, Current top 5 are Funchess,Smith, Wright,Samuel and Byrd. Funchess is a free agent next year and  it would be nice to be pro-active in the event he gets overpaid elsewhere. Even if Funchess is retained long term, this is not a strong looking bunch for right now or the future. Would love to see a drafted player challenge Funchess for the # 1 spot.

# 3 # 2 RB, I could have easily listed any position in the secondary here. However it looks like we have sufficiently replaced the 2 departing players (Worley and Coleman) with Cockrell and Searcy. It's not going to be an all star cast but we arguably have one of the top front 7's sitting in front of them to help balance out their shortcomings. 

With Stewart gone, theres a big opening for someone to carry the rock. He led the team with 198 attempts.  Cam actually had more carries than Mccafrey last year (139 vs 117).  Mccaffrey only averaged 3.4 ypc last year, so I don't believe giving him more carries is a good idea. CAP only carried it 18 times last year so I doubt he's thought of as the answer.

As of now..

FS

RB

TE

OL

DE

Pretty much this...I like the signings today as they give more freedom in the draft...I think before we were almost bound to go S...CB early, now we could even go RB or TE early... and still address the secondary

I would move TE ahead of RB but yeah 

We need both. BUT #2 RB will touch the ball more. A lot of the playoff teams use 2/3 backs. A #2 TE here won't have nearly the impact of a #2 RB. You could easily see 10+ carries a game from your back up RB. No way your back up TE get close to those touches, UNLESS Olsen gets hurt.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
