Right now there are some glaring holes on our Roster. You can rank them how you'd like but I think we are all in Agreement our Top 5-6 needs are as follows:

1- QB, a franchise leader for next 10 years
2- DE, pass rusher opposite Burns
3- TE, route running pass catcher
4- MLB, leader and organizer
5- WR, depending on how TMJ progresses
6- DT, gap filling run stopper

---------------------------------------------

Obviously, you would like to draft people in all those slots and have them on rookie contracts for the next few years - but some picks will be misses and some position just might not have the best player fall to us in the draft and we will need to look for FAs to fill the holes. What position would you be alright with bringing in someone with NFL experience?

Free Agent QBs: (Orange = Key players I like)
Lamar, Brady, Baker, Darnold, Jimmy G., Danny Dimes, Geno

Free Agent DEs:
Ngakoue, Ebukam, DeMarcus Walker, Dre'Mont Jones, Zack Allen

Free Agent TEs:
Evan Engram, Dalton Shultz, Hayden Hurst, Austin Hooper, Mike Gesicki

Free Agent MLBs:
Lavonte David, Tremaine Edmunds, Denzel Perryman, Kwon Alexander

Free Agent WRs:
Parris Campbell, JuJu Smith-Shuster, Allen Lazard, Jakobi Meyers, Darius Slayton

Free Agent DTs:
Da'Ron Payne, Sheldon Rankins, Greg Gaines, Javon Hargrave, Shy Tuttle

I would honestly be more excited to dump more bad contracts (Thomas comes to mind) and get over the dead cap in 2023. They won't do it because the people who helped dig this hole are still trying to impress Tepper with their genius understanding of wasting cap in the future without a franchise QB on their 2nd contract to force you to need to do so.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
