What's our greatest need now?

I would say Safety. Doughty is a solid backup, and thats it. Schweigert is not starting material which is why [B]OAKLAND[B] let him go. and if Oakland doesn't think you're a starter then you suck.

so randy moss sucks?

I can't believe you guys are missing the obvious one - we need bodies at wide receiver. I think we need at least two more good wide receivers to feel safe.

We have no depth at long snapper. We've been playing with fire the last few years but if Ethan goes down...we're royally screwed

Dude, you were about 7 posts from being funny.:Flush:

so randy moss sucks? Thats not the point. Randy moss has talent but was a character issue which is why they traded him. Scheigert just sucks. Also Wide receiver is definitly not a need. Moss, ARE, MK, and DT that is one hell of a reciving core.

I am with others on this subject...i think we need more depth at cornerback...not sure what the Carlos Rogers' time table is...and possibly more depth at OLB...is Rocky gonna comeback fully healed? And lets all hope that EJ is healthy and the DE's should be good. I think someone else mentioned the drafting of TE in the second round with Calais Campbell still on the board...still baffling to me as well.

DE,DT/OLB & CB in that order.

Until proven otherwise, E. James is basically like an expensive undrafted fa or 7th round pick (if he makes the team). Daniels is a steady & solid DE, but at his age lacks the speed to get sacks & is injury prone. I would love to see Wilson, Buzbee & Jackson step up big time, but we can't expect any one of those guys to become starting material.

DT; we need at least one more young body to provide depth & build for the future.
OLB; depth is a major concern as MW & RM have both had their health issues.
CB: our best 3 cb's are either injury prone, old or coming off an injury.

I agree with you that our greatest need right now is a CB. If everyone is healthy and 100% we are fine, however Rogers' and Springs' health are major concerns. Springs will also probably not be back next year, based on cap numbers.

C. Campbell's combine numbers were terrible, and much worse than expected. He has "bust" written all over him. How many 6'7" 290 lb DEs that are worth anything fall to the mid-second round, when prior to the combine they were being touted as a 1st round pick.

Hmm, Michael Strahan comes to mind as a large defensive end that fell to the second round...

If we're going to miss, I wouldn't mind missing on a 6'7" 290 lb DE. I hate the combine, all these numbers are an attempt to quantify something that can't be quantified. Those combine drills are just that, drills, who cares that he sucks at the shuttle cone, or doesn't run a 4.5 40 yd dash, or only does 15 reps on the bench press. At 6'7" he's going to knock down passes, at 290 he can be effective against the run, and obviously he played well enough during the season to merit 1st round attention. And long term, we've got a Pro Bowl at TE already, would it have hurt to draft Campbell?
