[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 43353, member: 431"] I thank those of you that supported what I posted on Friday. I may be an eternal optimist but I feel we are FINALLY in a position to do some serious upgrading vs. doing NOTHING to improve a floundering "D" in '04 and destroying our "O" line in '05. I was starting to get a little restless there the last couple of years as it seemed we just weren't willing, or, cap restriction wise maybe, capable of addressing and doing what needed to be done to improve and, in fact, saw great players leave with nothing to replace them. Not so in '06. TT has to be salivating with what he's looking at. I read one college scouting service that rates 42 players with 1st round talent in this years draft vs. 22 last year and 19 the year before. So, TT can....... 1) Keep #5, #37, etc; and we get three or four players that can make a big difference or....... 2) trade down to say #9 or #10 and end up with three players in the top 42. WOW! three first round quality players? When's the last time the Pack has been in that position. (SEE: JavonWalker084 scenario). Of course the big question remains. What is Brett going to do? Well, if he retires(please don't) and we cut Fergy and Digg's(which looks likely) we will have something like $32 or $33 million to spend. TT will(even if it's not in his nature) go to FA with the extra cash to bolster the "0" line and maybe running back to protect the young QB and strengthen the running game so he won't be asked to do so much. So...... If AR is our QB he will have a hell of a lot more talent around him than most 1st round QB's get and certainly more than Brett got last year. Ironically, if Brett does retire, he will probably look at next years team and ask "why didn't I have that to work with?" I wouldn't blame him. Personally, I hope he's back, adjusts his salary to help the team, which helps him, we get our injured guys back, we draft some PLAYERS, and, we kick some butt! [/QUOTE]
