Toler from Indy would be nice.

We don't need shutdown corner. We need solid corner opposite Lewis. White, Prob, Dixon are not solid corners. (there is hope for dixon) Way too many ups and downs.

Give me smart player who understands the game. I'm tired of players who make one good play then one "WTF just happened" play.

I would like to get Maxwell from the hawks. He's tall and only 27.

There are several mid to upper tier prospects who look like a good fit. I'm still gathering info before I determine who I like best.

i agree. that is why i would have offense on the top of my off season wish list then defense. offense requires fewer pieces. were as the defense might require a few years to repair, defensive wild card is can they get their heads screwed of straight so we have a better idea of what we need.

As far as offense goes,the O line is really the main concern and would only take one good player to improve it. The defense on the other hand needs more help but is not as bad as some make it out to be. On D, our pressing needs are LB and CB with some depth for the D line. I don't think we're that far off from being a good defense. If we could get the center from Oakland and a good CB in FA, then focus on LB's and O line in the higher rounds while getting depth ( or a possible starter) in the lower rounds. I say Sherff or Collins in the first but if both gone,trade down ( if possible)and grab McKinney or Perryman and go for O line in the second.
