1) I'm really concerned about Baldwin. When he was out of the lineup, we had a lot more problems in the passing game. Missing him for an extended period of time is going to hurt, since opposing defenses can key in on Rice. Baldwin also seems to have a history of being injury prone. Without Baldwin, the pressure is going to be much higher on Tate to be more consistent. I don't think that Obo has enough talent, and its seems Edwards is used sparingly for whatever reason. This seems like an obvious area to upgrade in the draft. Unfortunately, it seems to take a few years to develop WR's, so I wouldn't be surprised if we look at free agent WR's, as well as drafting for this position.
2) Our OL, particularly in pass protection seems to be lacking. Maybe this is partially due to chemistry. Hopefully, getting Moffitt back on the field this week will solidify this weakness. There also seems to be a lack up depth here as well. I see this as a position to upgrade.
3) TE. Because of our deficiencies at OL, Zach Miller has needed to function as an extra blocker quite a bit. Our other TE's have not shown me very much, and I expect that this will be a position to upgrade in the draft as well. Having two tight ends who can block and are also dependable in the passing game give us a tremendous amound of versatility (ie. NE). Definitely makes us more difficult to scheme against.
4) WLB. Hill's production seems to be falling off, and I expect a rookie to be drafted next year to take his place. He seems to be the invisible man on our defense.
Just my thoughts on a slow Tuesday. Would love to hear input from others.
