[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 433444, member: 5535"] Much of what you say I agree with, but Mario Williams may not be the answer. First, his price will probably go high. Second, there are other FAs who might be a more economical choice. Example, the Raiders just let go of their pro-bowl CB Stanford Routt. I also think that TT is wise not just to plan in terms of such a small window. Although I hope the defense will improve next year, it may be better to think in terms of 2 years. There are several holes to fill. We need a better ILB than Hawk. OLB and DE are big needs. DT, Pickett is an eleven-year vet and may have one good season left in him. Plus, Raji is really better CB, Woodson is 35 years old, SS, we hope Collins comes back. IF he doesn't we have a big hole to fill there too. I don't see it happening overnight, and signing a FA before we see what we can get in the draft may not be wise. The crop of OLBs and DEs is pretty good this year. I am still holding out hope that somehow we can move up in the draft and get Courtney Upshaw. He looks like the most complete, NFL-ready OLB who can bring it on the pass rush out there. [/QUOTE]
