First and foremost we need Bulaga. Our priorities must be aligned with both ends of the spectrum, our greatest success and our greatest weakness. #1: Protect Aaron. We've watched what happened to past receivers who bailed out, even the smartest guys in here underrate him, after what he has brought it shocks me actually. Wasn't pretty watching what happened to James Jones.. If his poor production wasn't proof maybe his 666 yards were a divine message.. Or what about that WR we had that averaged 1000+ yards and 9 TDs per year over 5 consecutive years? What was his name again? Oh yeah. Jennings or something? Aaron is the best QB this league has seen since Joe Montana. Limping for 38 Tds and 5 INTs. And NFL MVP. Unbelievable.
This year all came down to Aaron's physical health (or lack thereof) down the stretch, not Bostick or MM or even Slocum (although a last place finish on ST didn't help our cross country team score ).. That's why we aren't celebrating another SB and no amount of talent at TE will matter if he is out of the equation. We were #1 in Offense. There are needs to maintain but this is not our priority. Bulaga is essential and after that I'd like to sign more depth on our O line. We were fortunate on the injury front this year, so much so, most have already forgotten the recent past.
#2. Rushing Defense : the nucleus. We need a NT and ILB and another DT. Personally,I'd like to see at least 1-2 of those filled through FA with a solid proven product. Not left to chance this time. Then go after 1-2 more early draft. Mid rounds we can address O line depth. TE, CB, etc,, but Defense DeFEnSe DEFENSE
