Re: What is the team's biggest need after the draft?
Big, I think you summed it up pretty much. I'm really wondering about LB though. The new guys is supposed to play ILB along side Fletcher. We still have Blades so I think we have enough at all the LB spots.
I'd have said FS, and WR. I'm not sure who they would use at FS unless they are going into the yr as is. Haslett has said he's impressed with Landry's speed. If they can teach him to stop biting on the fakes then we'll survive another yr. WR bothers me. I'm not drinking the cool ade like some of you others. I keep hearing how the 3rd yr is usually the break out yr. What if ours don't break out? It seems like looking at some spots people are satisfied with the we are in "rebuild" mode and other spots they are "no we need to push for better talent in order to do better then 4-12 and trying to make the playoffs." I just don't see how people can be content at WR yet spastic about OL. Both have their issues. One won't solve the other. As of right now I see; Moss and Thomas as our WR's. Kelly and Mitchell are unknowns. I'm actually thinking Kelly might be a scratch after this preseason if he doesn't get his act together. Hagans and Williams were scratches last preseason and now we have Austin... Rookie. I don't feel comfortable. I just get a feeling T.O. is gunna be here. Like it or not he's better then whatever we have now and the HC never said "T.O. was not going to be a Skin." He said "T.O. is not in our plans right now." Which means maybe in May or June they sign a contract with him. There may already be an agreement that he will come on board, but to keep from having to show up now he's not signing his contract until later. I know some will think I'm wanting T.O., but what I'm wanting is a bona fide WR to help out Moss and Thomas. Marshall is gone. Who's left and who might be coming available soon? |

Re: What is the team's biggest need after the draft?
Been looking at FA linebackers. Career Titan Keith Bullock is still out there.
33 years old, but produced 108 tackles last year. Could provide ILB leadership in a part time role for another 2-3 years as a stop-gap. I'm in favor of devleoping our team's youth, but when we have a big position need, experience can't hurt. If he's still a FA during training camp he could be a decent signing. |

Eh, I think Kelly will have a lot more production this year. Granted a lot more than nothing might only be 400-500 yards, but both MS and KS are huge upgrades in terms of offensive competency than the JZ staff. I believe a while back MS and Kelly sat down and discussed how'd they use Kelly's size and hands for middle of the field routes Andre Johnson would run down in Houston. I'm eager to see what Kelly can contribute in that role. |

Re: What is the team's biggest need after the draft?
We should have signed Tanner and Landolt to shore up O line depth. I agree with our newbie Skinster in that our WR corp as a whole is a joke. Austin at 175 isn't going to cut it as a returner or a real #5 WR either.

I agree we are far better off then JZ and Hixon, but part of the issue was his knees swelling during practice so he couldn't even see the field. He has to be on the field in order to get what the scheme is. Right now I have more faith in Thomas cause he's actually had 2yrs of playing time. Kelly technically is still in his Rookie yr since he has not seen very much playing time. About the only thing he's done is have 1 oe 2 nice catch's and bulked up. I'm hoping they find a decent role for Mitchell. He looked awsome in some of his pictures from the recent camp. He bulked up and has decent muscle. |

Kelly's knee wasn't an issue last year.

Re: What is the team's biggest need after the draft?
You must be mixing up his rookie year with last year. He started the season as the starter at WR last year, started the first 5 games. He just got benched for being unproductive, his knee wasn't a factor.
