Looking at what we've got in the cupboard at the moment before FA and UDFA. I consulted with Ewdtrey and came up with this rough depth chart using our roster as it stands. I also roughly ranked the players so I can see relative positions of strength/weakness. The scale is 10 = superstar, 9 = star, 8=good player, 7= starter calibre, 6= back-up calibre, 5= problem if playing, + = has unknown upside, italicised = special teams contributor.
Now, obviously I'm a moron and thank Gene (in whom we trust) that I'm not running the club etc. ad nauseum but I think there are things we can glean from the chart. I believe we will get 2 new LBs this year, which I'm excited about.
We could also do with a pass rusher and another secondary player - preferably FS but Gene's positive comments about Whitehead could mean maybe not. On offense our O-line looks settled with Estes also talked up by Gene. We could do with a no.1 receiver but I'm not sure how many FAs we will get after our 2 LBs.
