I surprised myself when I thought of the positions where we need help- I didn't think there were SO MANY!
But first on my list is to dump Tillery for a real DT that can stop the run and clog up opposing offensive linemen.
Then a real LB. Tranquil and White are OK, but we need a third LB that is a RB's nightmare.
Next are upgrades on the right side of the O-line, especially Tackle.
Chris Harris Jr. is done, so we'll need his replacement AND additional secondary upgrades for depth, so DBs should be added.
Mike Williams caught a lot of balls last night, but we need WR help that isn't costing us 15 million dollars!
I love Ekeler more than most, but we can't ask him to be something he's not, so let's get a bruising back to be the thunder to his lightning. Today's game is less workhorse RBs, and more tandems.
Hopefully Parham is back to full health- and further developed as a well rounded TE!- and McKitty and Anderson improve, but overall our TEs don't scare anyone so it would nice to get one that does.
This offseason, from free agency, trades or the draft- I hope we can upgrade the starters and depth on this team. (Coaching upgrades will be discussed elsewhere!)
I think first priority is to get a better defense, then address the Oline and skill positions on offense. Then hope poor coaching, bad decision making and mismanagement doesn't make this talent moot again.

We CANNOT have our QB with 64 pass attempts in a game like last night. HAVE to find productive balance. 64 ! How many of those 64 were dropped? Five? I know you are a smart fan so I'll share. Your winning percentages plummet when you have that many attempts. Facto

In a vast majority of too-many-passes games, losing causes the attempts not the other way around. We were down 15 in the fourth. You think you're going to OT by marching Ekler up the gut a bunch? You sure aren't. You're only getting there if you sling the ball around. |

That leaves a bunch of RT right around #17. Scout em up !!!!! It is also a spot to where a killer RB, TE, or WR may slide. Even though the defense needs the most talent (again) it would be hard to skip over a great offensive weapon.
