Look at the players who've come to the fore this year.

We got Martinez and Fackrell on the inside, we've got Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams, Kenny Clark, Kevin King, Damerius Randall. Josh Jones is an ascending player. These are in addition to our previously established starters.

If things break our way in this playoff race, we could get some guys back and really contend.

Biggest thing we need is pass rush. If Ted can draft us some guys who can get to the QB, the CBs will look ALOT better. Hell, give Perry a bookend he'd look alot better. Biegel could take that leap in year 2, Fackrell in year 3. But I'd still like to see Ted draft like THREE big time OLBs.

Most of our edge rush is around the edge, we don't seem to be able to push a T straight back into the QB which is something they really hate. We need to get an edge rusher who can do that with frequency. I'm fairly happy with the look for the interior defense. Daniels, Clark was looking good, getting Adams up to speed on the inside also would be nice for keeping the big boys fresh.

I have a little worry at S for next year. How confident are they in the development of Jones, Burnett is up for a contract and I'm not sure they are going to be willing to pay what it will take to keep him.

We need to hit on a WR pretty soon. Jordy isn't long for the team, Cobb is limited and I am still not completely sold on Adams ever being what Jordy was.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Talent? Is this a joke? Seriously...I'm not playing. Fackrell, Williams, King, Randall, and Josh Jones?

Clark is a budding solid player and so is Aaron Jones...the rest? No. I like Josh Jones' measurables but he's not done much this year to say...boy, look out we got a good one there.

The mentality is shoot low if that's what passing as reasons to be excited around here. I don't think a single one of those guys will ever be a difference maker for us of the ones I panned. Josh Jones with the best chance.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

We haven't missed on a WR. We converted him to RB. Monty is still a very good route runner, he's an excellent #2 WR. Can get deep too. Jordy is the TE, Cobb is the #3 guy and punt returner. Or who knows, maybe Trevor Davis continues to develop. We've got guys on offense.

I'm not stuck up or grumpy. Just bewildered by some of the things I read about this team.

Are you fired up that we pay 21 mil to our two pass rushers, took a Day 3 1st overall on one and it's still a glaring need just like CB after spending a high 2nd there?

Reality has both roses and shit and everything in between, homers put on their blinders because they don't like reality and want to ignore the shit... you put your blinders on because you also don't like the reality and want to ignore the roses and shit all over everything.

The reality is that their is both yin and yang!
