Outside of the obvious QB, with the other remaining, ugh...five picks I feel we need a NT, TE, RB, WR and (LB or FS).  Gotta get the core offensive skill players to grow together.  The nose tackle is imperative and either a ball-hawking FS or LB for the defense.

So when you all are saying, "We need a NT, I assume that you do not think Tuttle is that player.  We have McCall (340) and Roy (I do not like him, but he is big--330) and Brown could move inside to the nose (320) if we want to rush the passer. 

So if we need a Nose--we do not need another DE.  Is that what you are implying?  Not being critical, just want to hear why everyone is saying that we need a NT.

We need ILBs unless we find a prospect on the outside too good to pass up.  I'd like to develop Shaq's replacement now than try to do it the year he's released.

In my head, I have Shaq, Luvu, and Smith at ILB--with the need to add one.  On the outside, I have Burns, Haynes, and Barno with the need to add one.  I have YGM playing the 3 to 5 (depending on situation) and I have Chinn at big nickel and maybe some other spot not clearly identified in the 3-4 set.  I am simply guessing what I think they will do.

Tuttle can play across the line, but I want a hoss in the middle, he's not big enough. Also Tuttle is essentially just a two year stop-gap. McCall has the size, but can he play there?  Roy can't play it-- he doesn't have the anchor.  Dude got pushed around as a 3-tech.

I'd rather have Brown slim down and play end.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head, although I think Luvu and Smith could play inside or out.  I'd rather keep Luvu inside (savvy veteran) and let the youngster Smith chase the QB.

Me too on all counts. Roy will probably not make the team without his boy here.

Gonna be interesting to see how our defense uses the personnel.  I am struggling to get a clear image of Chinn, Luvu, and YGM--and now the DT situation you present makes perfect sense.

It wouldn't shock me if they ask Chinn to add more weight and become a permanent LB.  I think we get too caught up in Jeremy "wasting" his talents as just a LB since he's got coverage ability.  I mean, with Woods and Bell, the safety position is on lock down.  Being just the big nickle is limiting Chinn, IMO.

I see Luvu and Smith as OLB that can play inside a little.  I would like a true ILB like Jack Cambell.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
