Lloyd-Really, there's no evidence to expect this guy to improve for us. It's not like he was a great disappointment last year, he's simply just not a great WR.

Marshall-Boy would I love to pick my boy #98 here. However, I predict Rocky beats him out for the WLB job in training camp. He's going to be one of the best backup LBs in the business for us, and a great STeamer.

Rogers-I don't think Rogers had a horrible 2006. I think he's never going to be good enough to shut down an elite player in man coverage, but I don't think he's looking for a bounceback season.

Archuleta is my selection. He's done it in this league before, and I'm thinking he got scapegoated for a problem that only got worse after he was replaced. Nobody is going to complement his cover skills, but I think the last 7 games proved very clearly that Archuleta wasn't the problem on this defensive unit.

He has to stop missing open field tackles though. He may have had a bad back, but either you tough it out and make the good form tackle, or you get on that injury report. It seems to me that Archuleta probably had a pretty significant injury and was hiding it in an attempt to justify a huge deal.

I think he wins the starting job in camp next year. I'll even go on record as saying I think he and Sean Taylor will be playing together for many more years. He gets my vote.
