I think we take the best DE or DT in the draft possibly a combo.

Even though we are in the midst of a playoff run now, just take a step back and look at the team.

No one really thought we would finish 11-5, especially after 0-2.

Now imagine this team with all those injured players back, then the offseason signings and the draft, just imagine how good we could become.

If we add another WR and TE that can get open and then draft heavy at D line and front 7 we could be great.

I think we need CB and TE more than anything. PJ is trash and Fleener is gone.

I don’t think PJ Williams is trash. Remember that prior to this season he’d only played 1 1/2 games in 2 years. Now that he’s finally healthy he’s essentially playing his rookie season. He’s not really a nickel CB either but we have no other option at that spot right now. I’d give him another year.

DT, TE, WR- either through FA or draft

Coach is good at drafting those unique TE's when he needs them. Possibly grab one 4th or 5th then sign Graham and we're set. It will be either DE/DT or CB in the 1st and 3rd.

An athletic LB is high on my list

Re: Wisconsin tight end Troy Fumagalli ... should we draft him?

TE that have preformed well in the their bowls IMO are

Mark Andrews TE Oklahoma 6042 254 4.77 #81 rJr
Mike Gesicki TE Penn State 6052 252 4.76 #88 Sr
Troy Fumagalli TE Wisconsin 6054 249 4.84 #81 rSr
Marcus Baugh TE Ohio State 6041 250 4.84 #85 rSr

Many have the lack of effort in blocking attempts. Just put a honest effort into it is all I am looking for. Small school guys are harder to peg and I have to wait to see how they do at the pre draft work outs

A cheap FA we should try to bring back is

Cameron Brate TE Tampa 6050 249 4.77 UDFA
