Observations:

Roster is nearly complete - and we haven't even had the draft yet!

Captain Obvious says we need depth on offensive line...

There'll be no OTA's for Graham - he signs after the draft, if someone doesn't offer him an unbelievable deal first AND two first round picks...

The secondary looks to be the pride of the team now...

Running Backs have taken a hit, we'll start mining for those nuggets from places like Towson St et al FCS schools...

Has it been mentioned how freakin' thin we are on that offensive line?!?

Draft should yield two, if not three linebackers...

Still see us taking a WR among the first three rounds...

Other than OLine, we're reloaded for combat...
