Snead is Moore, not Meach.

I would say Coleman is more Meach, but without the speed.

I wouldn't say we have a must need, but the 2 positions that we could bring in after the cuts happen are DE & WR. Finding a starting 3-down DE would be nice, & another legit WR would help.

Our depth is fine at every position besides WR(should be able to get by if we stay healthy though). Some people keep saying we need depth on defense, but I just don't see it. You can make a case that we need better starters on defense, but the depth looks like a huge strength.

Onyemata's versatilty helps the DT & DE positions.

DT - Fairley, Rankins, Davison, Onyemata, Ashaad Mabry

DE - Jordan, Kikaha, Onyemata, Okafor, Trey Hendrickson, Tapp, Gwachum, Al-Quadin Muhammad

LB - Ellerbe, Robertson, Klein, Alex Anzalone, Stupar, Anthony, Te'o

CB - Breaux, Marshon Lattimore, PJ Williams, Sterling Moore, Crawley, Swann, DeVante Harris

S - Vaccaro, Bell, Marcus Williams, Rafael Bush, Erik Harris, Banjo

Our depth on offense is even better...we have a legit #2 QB, one of the best RB situations in the league, 4 rosterable TE's, & one of the best O-Line situations in the league.

Basically our entire roster is set unless we find a legit WR or a DE starter after cuts happen(obviously having injuries in the preseason could add another position to this list). We also have plenty of money to acquire them. We're in a very good situation going into training camp...relative to the last couple of years.

I doubt we get a quality 3 down DE after cuts. It'd likely be another Kruger (no thanks).

Instead I think will fill the spot with a good rotation of Onyemata, Kikaha, and Okafor.

There will likely be better options at WR than there are now, but I don't know if we'll go that route.

Yea, that is kind of wishful thinking. If we don't find the answer at that 2nd DE spot this year...I assume we'll draft 1 in the 1st round or get one in F.A. next year.

We need to get Payton all the pussy he can handle up to training camp starts. That way he can focus on being a coach instead of chasing tail.

He's middle aged now. Hopefully he's past that.

We need a WR in the worst way. What if Thomas--who we all just expect to develop into a Pro Bowler his. 2nd season--tears an ACL? We are hosed. That position needs depth.

They need a more reliable receiver than Coleman. But that's kind of luxury more than need.

They have 3 wr, 2 te, 2 rb who can catch consistently.

Offense is set. It's defense that needs work
well fricking said.

Is Victor Cruz not an option? What's his baggage?
