    In the draft or via free agency:

    Offensive linemen especially a right tackle. If I see Willig starting next year I will fucking commit suicide.

    Safety - Both. Minter isn't getting younger and isn't worth his proposed pricetag. Free safety as well

    Defensive Tackle - Buckner is getting older and a little depth at DT is needed

    RB - I am not 100% sure Davis is coming back from his surgery. Isn't this the same procedure that Pat Jeffers is sueing the Panthers and the hospital over?

    OLB - We have to sign WW

    If Branch would have wrapped up Deuce, he wouldn't have gotten that long run

    Buckner is fine. DT depth is needed, but nothing extravagant. All that means? Get Carstens off the fucking field and find a warm body who's better than that.

    Get a FS. Make the rest fight for SS.

    Yes a RB. we seem to go through them quickly. I have my doubts about Davis' durability at his RB age.

    Fully agree w/PP about RT, but Stevie Wonder could see that need.

    Need upgrades at both G spots, too. I'm not even close to being sold on Reyes, and Wharton better get a lot stronger this offseason if he's going to remain in the interior.

    DT is fine if we can get Burton back, even if we lose Buckner. Moorehead is probably good enough to start next to Jenkins now, and should continue to improve.

    Agree we definitely need an upgrade at FS, and Minter needs some serious competition at SS. He's definitely lost a step this year, and better take a significant paycut or pack his bags.

    I think I'd be okay with the status quo pretty much everywhere else.

    I wish they had actually moved Dante Wesley to free safety and let him play a little. He might have a decent career there but it looks like we will never know.

    I am not ready to write off Branch yet. Grant did not tackle well early in his career either. I am still happy with Minter but he is going to be pricey next year.

    As far as running back I think we are fine. If Davis does not come back we will still have Foster and Goings. That combo should work fine especially if we beef up the OL.

    We really need to improve the OL to be a contender. We need at least two new starters next year.
