2) Our TEs kind of suck. It's a weak draft class so I guess I'm just praying someone like Sterling emerges

3) Safety --- Pitt has a dude named Jordan Whitehead that runs a 4.45 and was a star RB and DB back in high school. He's a freakish athlete and will be lining up on offense in certain situations so I'll be comparing him to Derwin James as either may be there in the mid-rounds if we actually hit 7-9 or 8-8 this year.

4) I love to see us have a true Ray Lewis type ILB but there's none out there

5) WR --- With our focus on the running game and the fact that we focused on WRs the past few years, this should be the least of our worries so if we're looking at WRs late in the season, that means we've had another terrible year.

6) RBs ---- Barkley-Chubb-Guice-Scarborogh ..... holy crap, the big-fast RBs are making a comeback

1. I guess QBs will be/should be a focus until we definitively have one.

2. Yeah, they do suck, and the sad thing is they had the deepest and most talented TE class in recent history to re-stock it, and they didn't.

3. S makes some sense.

4. & 6. Is your desire for a Ray Lewis type ILB an indictment of Myles Jack, a realization that the big RB is making a comeback, or something else?

5. Do you think the Jaguars will end up re-signing Lee and Robinson, or do you think losing these guys are no big deal?

Regarding #4 & 6 -- Not really. I was not linking them in the same fashion but they could go hand-in-hand which is a good observation.

I just see Myles Jack as a finesse ILB at 6'1" 225 pounds whereas Ray Lewis was just a bad [BLEEP] ILB at 6'1" 250 pounds. Of course, Lewis is a once in a generation type player but I prefer the bigger, intimidating type ILB. I'd think MJ would be better suited for either OLB or an ILB in a 3-4 scheme.

#5 -- With a good QB, I think WRs like Lee & Hurns are a dime a dozen. Good QBs can take unknown slow WRs who run decent routes and make them look like all pros. Take for instance the Steelers who had an undrafted WR Eli Rogers go for 594 yards last season. If you ask anyone on the street who Eli Rogers is they'd most likely say an actor in an old western movie.
