Turn your phone to landscape, not portrait oriented.  Easy to read that way.

That doesn’t help on a iPad in landscape. 
The problem I have is it is kind of blacked out. My device tells me it is rich text format. To see it, I need it to be plain text.

It can be copy/pasted into Duck Duck Go mobile and the option for rich or plain text appears.. change it to plain you can see it. 
 

I have to do it with stuff I post sometimes. 
If you really want to read it, copy it and paste it in the reply field at the bottom of the page. Plain text. You should see it.

They are drafting a tackle in the first round

I'm getting one already

We absolutely should get an experienced OT on a 1 year deal. Decker, Josh Jones, heck maybe Beachum. Or just bring Yosh back.

Another slot defender like McCreary would be nice too.

Then the focus could be on the draft.

My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:

 - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.

 - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.

 - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.

 - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.

 - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.

 - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.

 - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.

 - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.

 - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.

 - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.

 - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.

 - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.

Great stuff here. I could see DJ Reader, Roger McCreary, Josh Jones, Brady Christensen being realistic possibilities

It may be high but there are some really appealing guys in the draft this year R2-3 for a slot defender. Scott, Abney, Haulcy (especially love for our defense), Rivers, Kilgore, a few others.

Spot on for the most part but I don't get ppl that want a new TE..

TT is a good player he is fast for his size a damn good blocker and when thrown to catches the ball what more do ppl want? 

Sanders slimmed down to be the out wide TE so there is his role, plus the Panthers don't seem to use the TE as much in the pass game..

interesting we haven't brought back LB Claudin Cherelus

Maybe he didn't want to come back? Heard he thought Tepper was a jerk.
