We're going 10-6 next year.   

 

We have a pretty good group of core players, but we are lacking in certain areas and I think they can all be filled this offseason.   Specifically, Center, Free Safety, Linebacker, and Defensive Line/Pass Rush.   I have confidence we will fill all those holes.  I would add, if you want more pass rush, it doesn't have to come from a Leo.   You can get increased pass rush from anywhere on the defensive line, or even linebacker. 

 

On defense, spend the #5 pick on DE Joey Bosa or FS/CB Jalen Ramsey.  We need a linebacker who can substitute for Poz on obvious passing downs.   And we need a FS.   Eric Weddle would be a win-now type of signing, because as a proven veteran, he can get the guys in the defensive backfield lined up properly.   And he's a good tackler. 

 

On offense, we can move Cann to Center and get a guard in free agency or the draft.  If we strengthen both C and LG, we will run the ball better and that will take a lot of pressure off Luke Joeckel by having fewer 3rd and longs. 

 

If we do just those four things this offseason, we can have a great season next year.
