Just something to think about.

If you really think about it, last year was not so different than the year before that in total wins, except on a couple really dumb plays. We eliminate a few dumb plays and we're right back where we were in 2006.

1. Don't run the reverse againt Tampa. We win that game and we're 8-8.
2. Olindo Mare makes a field goal from the 3 yard line against Carolina. We win that game and we're 9-7.

I'm not sure if that would've gotten us in the playoffs, but we would have been tied with the Bucs, split the season series with them, and been 4-0 against the other NFC South teams.

I don't really know what the point of this is, but maybe it's that we don't need to go risky in this draft and take somebody like Mendenhall. I think all we really need is to keep our offense intact and upgrade on defense where we need to (DT, CB, LB).
