As it was stated earlier. Only time will truly tell how well this off-season worked out for the team. With that said, I cannot remember the last time I was this excited as a fan of this football team. This doesn't feel like that one off-season where we were coming off of that play-off loss to the Patriots and we were out signing guys like Jerry Porter and Drayton Florence. When you consider the fact that Caldwell was able to trade Gabbert for a 6th round pick this year (during a year in which most scouts are stating this class is the deepest they've seen in years), and an additional pick on top of that for next year. And we have eleven selections at our disposal. It's very hard not to be excited. Not to mention all of the solid signings we've seen so far.

 

Beadles at Guard, Bryant, Babin (re-signed) and Clemmons at defensive-end, with Watkins at OLB and Ziggy Hood at DT and Blackmon re-signed at CB are huge pluses for the team right now. I don't mind the Gerhart signing as well at HB. The deals are reasonable and we can essentially get out of them if we need to within a year or two and don't truly have to commit to all of these guys if they don't produce per Pete Prisco. It's good to see that we're bolstering the defense thru free agency. That would lead me to believe that Caldwell will be gearing his draft decisions towards the offensive side of the football.
