Exactly. As you previously stated...you don't have a big board or better yet (my words not yours) whom the FO has targeted at DT, LB, or FS!

From your recent posts, it seems you believe Loomis and Payton, based on their draft and selection of UDFA, should give the Lombardi Trophy away right now!

IMHO, I give Loomis and Payton the benefit of the doubt and will do so to until us fans reach that pinnacle as coach and GM.

i remember specifically the first play against arizona.....they ran right at mccray, who is known to be a liability against the run, and it went for a TD

we have an undersized defensive line and it hurts us a lot

smith can rush the passer and ellis and hargrove also have a knack for bringin down QBs......but who is our big run stopper?

Canton, when you see " " it depicts a quote! Sorry, but I did put your entire quote in the message...it is regrettable you did not recognize the quote I included.

"its a new year brother.....everything starts over....nobody cares that we won it last year anymore except us"...FYI this is YOUR quote

As I stated in a earlier response to you...intuitively obvious to the most casual observer!

of course im not an NFL scout or evaluator......DUH nobody here is

if nobody recognizes the obvious then it might not be obvious

pointing it out might just be enough for some people to understand the real issues at hand

for instance....we didnt upgrade our run defense in this draft....sure we can trust the draft experts in our FO.....but thats irrelevant because we still didnt upgrade our run defense in this draft
