[QUOTE="4zone, post: 658079, member: 10846"] My first read is that this year's carry over in cap space will be critical to TT's strategy. In regards to external FA's, I expect a wait and see approach. I expect most external moves to occur after the draft and in the depth category players. If Cook or Dansby last that long, perhaps they will get a lower offer but I don't expect much. Draft - I expect a couple targets on the OL and DL each. One early and one late. Prime targets will be guys who can handle the LT position and move inside to OG or a real road grater OG. I also look for an immediate impact pick at DT. LB and TE are positions of need this year but if we go for them at the expense of ignoring the future positions of need we do so at our own peril. I expect at least one TE drafted and two LBs as well, just not as high as people might like. This makes this a potentially disappointing draft for those who are looking for those 'last few pieces to the puzzle' but I believe will be one of our stronger drafts in years to go along with last year's solid draft. It may not give us the immediate leap forward, but should provide us a strong base for years to come. I think we make our step forward this year by the return of Jordy and Ty-Mont and the 2nd year leap by Ryan, Rollins and Randall, the better condition of Lacy and better production from current TE's (even if not substatially better) from the addition of a dedicated TE coach. I am also hoping a full year of MM play calling with hopefully a more aggressive style all combined will take us to that next level. Overall, I'm like'n it! [/QUOTE]
