Great!

I’m glad we got the deal done with him,I think he’s a great,young corner. For the first time,probably since Darrell left,I feel comfortable with our corners. Now if we can just sign long term with Orakpo….

Hopefully

Barnes can move past Smoot on the depth chart (and Tryon steps up).

RAK EM UP!

Lol yeah. It’s best for the team. Plus old age is no longer a factor in the secondary. I guess the next project is the O-Line.

O-line is definetly next.

We finally fixed the D-line,we have a young secondary,a runningback in his prime,and if Devin Thomas/Malcolm Kelly can step it up this season,then the offensive line will be the main thing to work on. I wish we had drafted a couple of tackles this year,but there’s always next year. The first round pick next year HAS to go to a linemen,preferably a LT to replace Samuels.The only reason i’d want it to go to another position is if a really great player slipped further then expected (like Crabtree with the 49’ers)and we had a chance to get him.

I wouldn’t say our d-line is fixed, we still need more depth and proven players at the ends. wynn and daniels will only be here for a year
offensive line definitely needs the most attention but if cambell doesn’t put up this season then snyder will be looking to draft a qb in the first
the linebackers is stil questionable for me, we need to find a replacement for london and depending on how orakpo pans out there olb, i hope we can find someone to take orakpo’s job at olb so he can focus mainly on d end
