[QUOTE="paxvogel, post: 149270, member: 256"] Here is my take. We became an old team all of a sudden and had bad drafts that didn't fill voids under Sherman. Paying 3 to 10 million for an aging receiver with attitude problems who hasn't had a top ten year for a receiver in the past 3 years would not solve the problem. Last year we got some quality players that were young and added depth and 4 starters. I am willing to wait and see this year. But we are reaching the point where we are a "good" team (8-8) with a young roster. The draft that will tell me what TT is doing is next year. We need to trade up then for impact players instead of trading down for depth. The one thing I am most disappointed in is our RB situation. It is very average and unless the rookie comes in and performs at a higher level than most people believe he can we will see a lot of blitzing safeties and LB and teams focusing on our passing game. They couldn't last year with Green. We also didn't address TE that could have helped. Our offense will be worse but our defense better. Here is what I would do: 1. make a serious offer to Keyshawn, 2-3 million per year with two years quaranteed. As a third receiver he is almost like a TE with his blocking ability. 2. Make an offer to the Vikings for Chester Taylor. Quality RB and they drafted Adrian Peterson. Offer a two next year and see what they say. 3. Offer KGB for trade while he still has some value or maybe add him in the Chester Taylor deal. 4. Talk to Houston about what it would take for Andre Johnson. Or Arizona for one of their receivers. Or Oakland for Jerry Porter, offer one of our young OL and a fourth round pick next year. 5. If Favre is hurt or not effective put Rodgers in. Favre will leave in the next two years anyway so start getting ready for the future. We don't know what has been done we have glaring holes at RB and TE that I hoped would be filled in the draft.
