Re: Where do we look to fill the spots we didn't draft?

Dude, I have to red flag you right off the bat. You can't go spreading a crappy rumor like Colt Brennan to IR without having a link to back it up. If you can provide a link then cool, otherwise take that junk elsewhere because we don't want any part of it at the Warpath. We pride ourselves on squashing bad rumors, and that's a pretty darn bad one.

As for player acquisition, with the draft over, you pretty much got whatcha got. You always take shots on the UDFA guys, but in reality they're depth/special teamers at best, at least in their first year.

I think we're good to go. I like our offensive line a lot, starters specifically. I think there could be better depth and youth, but it's a reality check for people when they hear other scouts and personnel guys around the league talk about how talented and tough our line is. Jansen's injury is more worrisome than Randy Thomas's. Randy Thomas is still one of the best guards in the NFL, and he's still not getting the credit.

Our defensive line, as currently comprised, did pretty well last year. We had a double digit sack guy, and nine sacks from the other spot (combined from M Washington and C Wilson) and we held up against the run pretty darn well.

This time of year it's easy to get wrapped up in player acquisition. Understandable. But at this point, it's all about making the transition. I could care less who we pick up at this point, I just want to know how well we're transitioning to the west coast offense. That's the key to our season more than anything.
