When free agency started less than three weeks ago, many here were panicking. We now have all but solved our wide receiver "problem". We also have the beginnings of a solution to 2008 defensive back issues. Finally, we have re-signed some of our own, who might have caused holes had they not been re-signed.
And the off-season has hardly begun. We still will have more free agent signings to come. We might have a trade or two. And we will have the draft.
As of now, all has been addressed with the exception of linebacker. To put our situation another way, the existing team is a playoff team right now except for one giant hole at ILB. We will draft defensive backs and maybe an OL, but these are luxuries or future needs.
We still have a 2008 ILB need. I believe that this will be addressed before the draft, so that we have much more draft flexibility than we do now. bb tries not to go into the draft with a current need.
