Ok, Fit and Rhule checked off a lot of boxes in the Draft (We even a long-snapper!). So what is the team's biggest need going into the season? I think we still may need to address Free Safety or Back up QB. What position do you think we should shore up?

FS, LB and C are the only things we didn't address.

WR - Completely shored up

CB - Huge injection of talent

RB - Awesome guy to mix in with CMC

OG - Two guys with a lot of potential

OT - One of the best blocking LTs in the country. But comes with question marks

DT - Potentially a new starter next to Brown

QB is still a question mark. Can Brady turn Sam into a good QB?

Safety and center.  I would like to replace Paradis when his contracts expires.  Safety for obvious reasons.

Safety is maybe the least important position in the whole NFL, at least on D. We’ve got one absolutel stud. Whoever is next to him is gonna be fine.

I think Fox is going to be used a lot in the DT rotation. After that you have Jones, Roy, Nixon which is 5. We will also use some 3 man fronts. Wouldn’t worry about DT.

Eflein can play center and we still have Tecklenburg (Not confident)

LB will be Perryman/Thompson/Carter or Reddick depending on the situation. Could use some more depth though.

FS will be interesting cause Burris will likely be the starter. Then you have Robinson and one of the team pets (Hartsfield) behind him. Franklin will likely back up Chinn as SS.

bruh, did you not see Boston missing tackle after tackle last year.

the FS is the last line of defense.

they cant be blowing assignments and missing tackles.

if they are, you can expect lots of big plays and TDs

Name a less important position than S, besides FB….

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
