There was a [BLEEP] ton of near misses with him offensively on schemed plays and with another year of working on that he'll more than likely turn those near misses into game changing plays.

You keep him.

The easiest cut for me is Griffin. Followed by Chaisson. The most difficult cut for me is Roy Robertson-Harris. Jenkins is 50/50 for me. We're also losing Key and Smoot.

What really bothers me is that. We all get swept up by the emotions of the game as fans and it's understandable.

However. You have to look at what the team did overall as a unit throughout a 17 game time span. Some of these guys that played late season heroics were playing early season villians and getting caught out of position.

The team has to make a firm decision on either:

A. Fully committing to building around Lawrence with Pederson calling the offense.

Or

B. Continuing the cyclical hell of backfilling the same positions with premium selections.

I shouldn't need to draft an edge rusher early when I just drafted Walker last year and have Allen playing on his 5th year.

I shouldn't need to draft a cornerback early to play outside when I have Campbell and Williams and nickel cover guys can be found later in the draft.

I shouldn't need to draft an offensive tackle high when I have Walker Little on his 2nd RD contract still and Cam Robinson tied up heavily at LT.

We have a completely gutted TE room to address in March. We have concerns on the interior offensive line. We have a decent amount of picks in RD4 to backfill some of these positions at nickel CB, DT and S.

This, again, is where Baalke really has to earn his paycheck. But, again, if they continue to ignore adding around Lawrence? We'll just keep barely getting over .500, finishing low seeding wise and having to travel to places like Kansas City, Buffalo, etc.

What?  Continue to ignore adding around Lawrence?  I dont see how youncan say that.  

   This past year they signed Kirk, Zay, Engram, traded for Ridley, drafted a center, and signed a All Pro guard .  The year before the brought in Etienne by taking him with their other first, brought in MJJ, and drafted a highly touted LT.  


  All of these moves over the last 2 years was a big part of why we went to the divisional round in the playoffs.  Baalke has pretty much overhauled the whole offense in 2 years.  He needs to beef up the oline a little more this offseason

Annnnd yet we still lead the NFL in dropped passes annnnnd we still have one of the worst, if not, THE worst win% rate in pass protection which is masked by play calling and Lawrence's stupid high release rate and our run blocking is masked by Etienne's abilities as a pure runner.

Taylor is walking. Scherff is a stop gap, an inconsistent stop gap at that. Fortner has A LOT of work to do. Left Guard is a revolving door. Left Tackle is anchored down by an oft injured Cam Robinson.

The TE room is gutted. The WR group STILL lacks a tall, physical 50/50 ball winner on the outside and we're probably losing Marvin Jones due to age and we're really putting all our eggs in one basket with Ridley?

No. No. No. If this team drafts heavily on defense again early my head is going to [BLEEP] explode after they dropped picks 1 ane 27 on defense last year in April and spent record breaking amounts of cap space last year on Oluokon, Fatukasi & Williams.

Look at the Bills, Bengals and Chiefs man. What do they have on offense that we lack right now? Shouldn't take too long to figure that one out.....
