Portis 26 30 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) OK, here's a quick overview of where we are.QB: Tui is now the guy. He's improved enough to be an OK starter, but he doesn't really have a great arm. If we can draft a great young QB to become our long starter, then we should. In the meantime we can stick with Tui.HB: Garner is OK for another couple of years.FB: Crockett is OK for another couple of years.WR: Joey Porter's our only guy here. Major upgrade required.TE: Doug Jolley a solid starter, Teyo Johnson really coming on too.OL: Great pair of Ts, OK at Gs and CDL: Fine at DT for the moment, although a dominating DT is a priority in the draft in the next few years. Couple of young projects at DE - Kenyon Coleman and Sam Williams - who have some potential. Couldn't turn down an established DE in FA however.LB: Solid trio in Barton, Harris and Godfrey, with Harris sliding out to OLB. A really speedy OLB in the draft would allow us to shift Harris back inside and drop Godfrey.S: Gibson is getting better and Ronnie Bradford is a temporary solution. Need to draft a FS for the future.CBs: Great selection with Woodson and Buchanon. Edited September 8, 2004 by Portis 26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Portis 26 30 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) Here we go with the DRAFT!With our first round pick there's still a bunch of talented (ie ranked 1-2nd round) QBs out there, and I think we really have to address that position. We want to have an elite guy as our starter down the road, and I don't think Tui is going to be that guy.The top-ranked guy is a very speedy scrambling guy, but he doesn't have great arm strength. But slightly lower-ranked is a real intriguing figure with an absolute GUN of an arm. Raw and not very accurate but that'll improve dramatically if we play him. I am going to select him unless the FFA strongly objects in the next few minutes! Edited September 8, 2004 by Portis 26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Portis 26 30 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Our 2nd round pick offers an intriguing possibility of a super-fast - and I mean lightning fast - OLB. We have three good LBs at the moment but two of them are MLBs (Napoleon Harris and Randall Godfrey) and if it stayed like that we would have to play one of position. I say we draft the lightning fast OLB. They don't crop up very often, so we're in luck to get the chance to draft one here, and he'll be a fixture of our D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
