FO Blew a Great Opportunity. (My Opinion Only)

What happened to beefing up the D??? We were ranked number 1 on offense, 25th on D. We can't count on as many INTs as we had last season. A lot of those happened in the first half of the season with Sharper being the guy who made them. He may not even be with the team at this point and if he is there is no promise he can repeat the 2009 season.

I could deal with Robinson the DB, but our OL is solid with or without Jamal. (I'd rather keep Jamal) Charles Brown won't be an impact player his first year, so why not wait and draft an OL in the later rounds, since it will take time to develop him anyway?

And a TE that has played only ONE year of Football, and had 17 catches? I mean we have Shockey, Thomas who was just as much a play-maker as Shockey, and Miller should be healthy this season.

I know some will say it's dumb to question a SB winning staff, but I think we missed a great opportunity in the first 3 rounds to really get some play makers on D.

As of now, we may have addressed the DE depth with the 2 we signed in FA...but what about getting gashed up the middle by power running teams? What about adding speed to our LB corps that's already a lil slow? Arnoux is ONE guy - who hasn't played a down and for all we know could be injury prone.

BY no means do I think we can't win the SOUTH or the ship is sinking, i'm just saying we lost out on a great chance to beef up our D with all the talent that was in the first 3 rounds. There is still talent left, but man we let some top guys at needed positions go. My response so far ..... o_0?
