Where are the areas we need improve on to get back to the big game?
 
OL, a WRs with ridiculous 3 cone numbers, a TE and DE who can rush the passer.
The OL actually needs a rebuild unfortunately. They are not it.
 
Need a go to TE with speed, obviously OL
and need another RB. Henderson really disappointed in postseason
 
Will Campbell I mean if they can find an upgrade you gotta do it, even with him being a top 5 pick, dude has been ass this entire postseason. WRs who can get separation is big need, edge rushers as well.

Will be back, we’re just getting started.

Offensive line and new OC for starters ….then elite WRs and a few key defenders and we should be good!
 
OL step one. Gotta figure out if Campbell struggling late in the year was his size limitations, just not being back to full strength, or inexperience. Need to continue building in the draft.

Receiver will need figured out. It finally came to a head tonight not having an elite weapon. Keep Diggs?

Defense proved tonight that it’s close. Just keep adding depth and try and get a dynamic pass rusher on the edge.

Team still has a lot to love. Just needs another draft/FA cycle.
 
OL is the most obvious. Campbell and Wilson are the biggest liabilities. I'm very concerned with Campbell at this point. He needs to improve his lower body strength. He was getting pushed back all year long.

WR/TE. I would be shocked if the Pats bring back Diggs at his number vs potential cap savings to use that to invest in the OL. They need to get more athletic at the TE position. Henry's numbers are decent, but the eye test is meh.

Edge. The D's biggest weakness and caught caught numerous times tonight.

LB. As a group, they played better than most expected. However, they get caught at times and can't recover. Need more athleticism.

Also not sure about Barmore. Let’s see what we do in free agency and also with the 12 draft picks.
 
Ol, edge, lb, wr

Love diggs but i think id rather get out of that contract and use it towards a true playmaker downfield. Hopefully pop or chism can take over in the slot.
 
If the offensive line improves then Maye can keep developing. If they don’t, then it won’t be pretty.

With that said, Maye needs to improve with his reads, sometimes is fine to take checkdowns.
 
1. OT
2. TE
4. WR
5. OG
6. Safety (would love to find a rookie to pair with Woodson).
 
If Alec lindstrom is available pay the man. At least that will open up the running alone and allow Maye a safety valve.

OL , TE, WR , LB and CB .

Off-season

Lindstrom - priority 1
Alec Pierce - priority 2

If lindstrom not available move Wilson to center . If we get lindstrom , trade Wilson and move Ben Brown to LG. Unless we feel Wilson can be a good swing guard / center.

Retain Campbell at LT. We are overreacting to his performance post injury. I feel he was prolly 50% of his capacity and will definitely become stronger and better.

Cut - Henry, Pop, Diggs, Bradberry. Huge savings to be had when we cut these folks.

Draft - BPA first 3 rounds. 4th to 6th get an Prototypical LT from a less known school with high EQ.

Let's make peace that we will be a 8-10 win team next season.
 
People are just upset now. Go to sleep and think it through in the morning. We’re pretty well set. Resign chaisson, and Tonga. Find a way to trade Landry for Crosby and defense should be nice.

Offense is a little different. I really feel that Josh needs to make this offense more Drake friendly, give him more options to run the ball and throw on the run. Felt they tried to turn him into a drop back passer an that’s when things went south. Maybe it was because Campbell came back too early but who knows. Could Lowe have done better?

Diggs and H Henry needs to go thanks for the memories.
 
Need two more OT that will bump out two of our current OT.

Need NOT ONE but two legitimate WR.

A pass rush

Probably two new tightened

And some linebackers wouldn't hurt.

I'm comfortable with the dline, the secondary, special teams and the QB obviously.
 
Too many spots for one more offseason. Money will be drying up soon too. Then you will only have 1 year before Maye starts looking for 70 per. The '24 draft is killing them right now. And it might never get rectified. They have 12 picks in the draft with about 20 spots needing upgrade.

Punter too. Look how effective the Seattle punter was. Or even Denvers punter. They need one of those.
