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.

    • I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.   
    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
