I'd like to see the FO make the unglamorous positions (K, P, FB, LS) more of a priority. It seems like the really good teams are either strong there, or at least don't have problems there.
A good blocking/receiving FB is key to a good running game and an extra weapon in the passing game.
Having a reliable P and LS is one less worry when you have consistent guys.
And we know all too well what a bad kicker can do to a season.
So why not use a couple of those 7th rounders (even a 5th on Flowers or a stud K) or prioritize a couple undrafted FA to build with? Not to mention the money saved by signing guys on rookie contracts.
Anyone else think we need to make those positions of strength or am I over analyzing?
