we are like pick 7-11 now. If we win the div we are pick 19. I say F the tank now and just win. We arent getting the top 2 QBs or the top OL and its a crap shot after that in the draft.
and we have the 5th most cap space next year even with Alex Smith on the roster
That and (so far) it doesn't seem like we have that many holes that we first thought and feared. Maybe we can get by without the need for a top 5 pick.
The RB group looks like we can work with them at least. Same as the WR core. OL still needs some work, but if we can get a LT in the draft (I want Darrisaw) further down the 1st round, and move Moses back to RT, it doesn't seem so bad if we can retain Scherff. TE, I'm pleasantly surprised by Logan Thomas so far. QB is a question mark of course, but we're WFT. We will always question our QBs to the end of time.
Defense: DL is great. Secondary might need some tweaking, especially at both safety spots. But we can work on that in free agency and the later rounds in the draft. As this year has shown, our DBs dont have to be absolutely perfect with our DL generating pressure. Linebackers are also a bit of a worry. But overall, thats not nearly the amount of holes that we started the season out with.
