What Position Would You NOT Address This Off-Season

Basically, let's assume we are adding four new starters (Punter, Offensive Lineman, Linebacker, Defensive End) but we only have three opportunities to find new starters-players not currently on our roster-one more free agent acquisition, 1st round pick, 3rd round pick.

So there is one spot where we'd have to say well let's just stick with what we have and worry about it next off-season.

I would say Defensive End myself. The market is kinda bare now in free agency and I don't think there's anyone great in the draft. Guys like Orakpo, Maybin, Brown, even my main man Barwin, are more like 3-4 hybrids. I think Tyson Jackson would be the perfect addition to our team but 13 is too high for him and he won't be there in the 3rd round. Plus, as has been mentioned previously Haynesworth's presence should make things a bit easier for the likes of Jackson, Buzbee, Wilson. Also, we could see some situations where Haynesworth himself lines up at defensive end because of our relative depth at DT and his talents.

OK I guess I understood. And I'll stick with LB. Tough thread. Haynesworth would be interesting at DE

Safety, WR, QB, WR, RB and oh yeah...WR

I just read the original post so I am a little off base here (sorry Smoot)

Did I mention that I don't want another wide-receiver?

DE. Resign Daniels or Evans and there ya go. A line of Carter Griffin Haynesworth Daniels/Evans is fine

But then you're addressing DE, because neither one of those guys is on our roster right now

I cant believe I'm hearing anything but Offensive line..This team fell apart last yr because they couldnt score(ie the OL couldnt hold up at the end, even Portis suffered at the end of the season..When you have a good OLine you have a good team..period
Sacks can be manufactured(ask Greg Williams)

I said defensive end too. I think if anything we can resign Daniels since no one is banging his door down.

I also really want to see Wilson or Jackson start for a bit maybe. Rookies aren't going to improve unless they see REAL PLAYING time, not that crap during preseason.

I'll go with that. Especially if we get a strong LB behind them.

No brainer, punter. We need all the other positions as of now, unless more signing are made to restock those critical positions.

But if the point is to use what picks/signings we have available to upgrade our team the most, Punter has to be considered. Right now our only signed punter was not even considered good enough to beat out Plack during the season, and there is a proven high quality starter seemingly available in Hunter Smith. Every other position we at least have starting talent signed to cover the roster spots, and any signing/pick even if an upgrade would not be a "dramatic" upgrade (excluding the 1st round pick, since that Obviously would not be used on a punter.)

Of course we could always call Joey T. and see if he would punt for free :)

You can address this in the FA signings but at a low cost. The cowboys found Paulescu after McBriar got hurt and was ok for them, he will probably be available on the cheap side instead of Hunter Smith who would cost more.
