I see 3 areas we need to address.

CB- we need another starting cb but whos out there we can afford and are they better than the ones we have now?

DT- We signed a stop gap DT and he was injured.We drafted some young guys and given C Irvin a chance.Again I see no one out there that is much better than what we have.I dont think the likes of Tank Johnson is worth a roster spot

OT-Otah is really scaring me with his injuries.His recent knee swelling was totaly unexpected.His season ending injury was a shoulder.His presence or lack of will dictate how well we will run the ball.I have not seen who can replace his run blocking so we may need pick up someone as a stop gap if we can find one.This is a postion we need to fill given Otahs injury.

I guess it all depends on who becomes availible when the roster cuts begin but why bring in someone who is marginal at the risk of cutting a develomental player? We clearly do not have all the pieces to be conpetetive this year.

Don't think we need a 3 Tech DT ,Irvin ,McClain are good enough

#2CB Hayden- Good zone coverage guy , decent against Man to Man( might not be Healthy)

OT L.Davis can play G too

2# WR Any big name that gets cut

RT and CB are our biggest concerns. DT is not far behind though and if we dont sure up RT we are in trouble.

On that note it would be just best to cut Otah and deal with that. He is not going to ever be healthy again if he cant get back at it with a year off.

We may have to live with our cb and dt but RT is something we need to address if we are to run the ball.Even if Otah were cleared to play this guy has 2 years of rust to dust off. If we do not establish a run it will be another long year for our 2 qbs.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
