Quote:I'd prefer we build an offensive line and undergo a true change to the power running scheme before we waste another pick on a RB. Running the ball is about mentality, and we don't have the staff or personnel to run the ball. I think Ivory and Yeldon could be pretty good together in a better scheme and with an actual FB/OL.


My needs :

SS (Doubt Cyp is retained.)


OL (just bring in guys with the right mindset. More maulers! Linder and maybe Beachum and Cann are keepable.)


QB (Bortles needs actual competition, bye Chad.)


DL (most likely, we will end up taking a pass rusher or DL in the 1st. Can't have enough pass rushers. Really depends on the scheme we end up going to... 43 or 34.)


#2 CB, if Prince isn't retained. I'm hoping he is.


Other minor needs: TE, FB, NT, LB.

 

 

I think our main focus should be fixing the O-Line and getting a true, every down power runner with breakaway speed. This draft has several of those types of runners and they don't just come along every year. Fixing the O-Line can only do so much, when we lack talent at the RB position. Ivory has regressed like so many of our other players and has never had the burst to break off any long runs. Yeldon is a complete bust and I'd cut him as soon as the season ends. He adds nothing to our team I believe if we fix the run game as a whole, we can limit the amount of throws Bortles makes and therefore limit his blunders. He's just not the type of QB that is going to carry a team with his arm. Yes, he needs competition, but unless we trade for someone or get very lucky with an overlooked late round pick, that won't happen this draft because the QB class is garbage. I'd like to find a SS and a pass rusher via free agency. I'm hoping the Cardinals don't tag Chandler Jones and we could make a serious run at him.
