Given the choice next season, do you...

[Mr. Scot]

A) Bring in players to shore up the defensive line

or

B) Acquire players to solidify the right side of the offensive line

If you can only do one or the other, which is more important?

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Offensive line, Cam needs to stay healthy.

[TheMostInterestingMan]

While I think the most important thing is protecting Cam, the offense did their part this year. If the defense could have given us more production we may well have made the playoffs. Give me defense please.

[jtnc]

Fix the d-line, which has been our problem for quite some time since Peppers left.

[KillerKat]

D-line. Even with the right side of the line not up to par, our offense was still great. We should do both though.

[The_Mango55]

Defensive line

[Ruff]

Defensive line.

Getting pressure with the D-Line helps out the entire defense, freeing up the LBs, allowing the CBs to cover their guys, and allowing the Safeties to roam the field.

Shoring up the right side of the offensive line would help the offense a little more, but judging by the production last season, there wouldn't be a notable difference, because the production was already at such a high rate.

[teeray]

D-line. Cam's mobility and strength can mask some of the O-line deficiencies. But without a big time D-line the rest of the defense struggles.

The front 4 on defense could be the one fix that turns around this defense in a hurry. We have other holes on D but those guys make everything else so much easier or harder depending on how they are playing.

[Panther_mountain]

These are my ideal scenarios. Top 2 rounds only. 1 Cb 2 Safety or 1 Lb 2 Cb/safety. I really want some infusion on defense. Our o-line wasn't horrible this past year. Our defense was. Take o-line in round 1 in 2013.

[PhillyB]

Top five offense.

Bottom five defense.

Not even a question.

[Panthro]

Cams mobility can mask some of the deficiencies at the OL spot. An all world RT will not stop Forte from running for 200 against us

[davos]

D-line

We all know how well we did when our D-line was at full capacity under Fox and the playoffs this year show how necessary it is to win in those trenches on the d side beyond takeaways and all the flashiness.

Either way, line first in my book FA wise. If the quality is available, we should try to make a move for someone. Of course I trust Rivera & Hurney on the direction they take and I hope we find some real studs this offseason.

cheers

dline.

oline's problems are overblown. healthy otah and schwartz competing with bell and hangman and maybe bring in a couple midland guys via FA to add to competition should be enough.

bell will be better next year. rookie OTs usualy play on skates but they tend to get better in years following.

meanwhile, the Dline has been largely neglected in recent years and it shows.

we need to beef up the middle. dream scenario for me is to draft brockers and bring in garay. a brockers/garay/fua/mcclain interior should be good for years. i wouldn't be opposed at all in using a 2nd rounder to bring in someone to compete with hardy and the boys for that spot across from CJ. it couldn't hurt.

we need a dominant Dline and that is something we can take care of this year. having that will make the rest of the defense better so you can get by with a weaker secondary.

focus next year on getting a new CB and FS with the first couple picks (though i wouldn't mind bringing in come competition for martin this year).
