So. Next year. Realistic situation..........how would you feel about this team...and how competitive do you think it would be? i know theres a little bit of wishful thinking, but it could happen...try not to criticize too much :)
Offense:
QB: Grossman/Beck compete for starting job, Bramlet/whoever
RB: Ronnie Brown, Lorenzo Booker, Ricky Williams
FB: Mauia
WR: Chad Johnson (acquired for a 3rd round pick), Ted Ginn Jr, Derek Hagan, Camarillo, Hakim/draftee
OL: Carey, Shannon Tevaga UCLA (our 2nd pick in second round), Satele, P.J. Alexander FA(Falcons) ,Max Starks FA(steelers)
TE:Fred Davis USC(first pick in the second round), Peele
Defense:
LB: Porter, Zach Thomas, Crowder
DE:Matt Roth, Jason Taylor, Greyson Gunheim Washington(4th rounder), Quentin Moses
DT:Glenn Dorsey LSU(#1 pick overall), Rod White, Holliday, FA pickup?
DBs: Asante Samuel FA from NE, Will Allen, Travis Daniels, Jason Allen, Yeremiah Bell, Renaldo Hill, Draftee
kicker: Feely
punter:Fields
Sooooo what do you think? i know getting Chad, Asante, and Starks is pretty unlikely, but it should be possible since we are pretty much cleaning house! i think this is a very competitive team that has veteran leadership as well as a lot of young talent. i think 8-10 wins is realistic by next year! if we had this team...thoughts please

dang theres a lot of people not counting on ZT to be here next year!
-
sorry but u dont have an idea of what ur doing.
Anderson? how do u think we get him? free? did u froget he is goin to cost a 1st and a 3rd?
Dorsey? sure doable but hten Mualugoa (sp) in round 2? u kidding me...teh guys a top 5 pick next year.
where do u see davis coming in? 5th rounder which we DONT have o ra 4th? the dudes a for sure at the lowest 2nd round talent. -
my bad. i thought Anderson was a UFA. let me revise

How do you get both Dorsey and Derek Anderson on the team? You are going to have to give up a 1 and a 3 for the Brown's QB
Cincy wants a lot more than a #3 for #85
Lots of churn for the OL. We don't need that much turnover. We can't spend a 2nd on another lineman, especially a guard. Why not develop the guys we have with one FA?
Need to spend a #2 on Fred Davis to have a shot a getting him and I'd much rather have him than any OL in round 2.
Rey is staying at USC but we need at least 2 LB's from this draft so you're on target there.
I think we need to spend a lot more picks on defense to rebuild. I look for a second round corner rather that over-paying for Samuel -
the only other OL that is even worthy of staying on the team that i didn't mention is rex hadnot..
-
As far as the offseason is concerned, I'd rather we make sure we get Asante more than anything else. I feel a CB would instantly make our D better. I think we should hold off on Chad, because we aren't certain about our QB right now, so we'd just be getting a big mouth with no one to throw it to him. And thats just trouble. Everything i'd agree with. -
On defence we're running the 3-4 so we need a big NT and 2 big DE's...we also need 4 big LB's....Samuels is very unlikely and the draft is pretty deep with corners this year...you can get 1 in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Ozzy rules!! -

I thought it was realistic at least
-
I doubt that we will get Samuals but chad johnson and Max starks we might be able to get maybe getting marcus trufant to i hope
-
And Grossman? Why? He sucks!
A draftee starting at safety from the 5th round or lower? Yeah doubt it.
And Johnson for a third seems to be a pipe dream for many on here. Sure Moss went for a fourth, and Chambers went for a second and Branch a first. Moss was an aberration and that trade the result of stupidity and the fact that Al Davis actually died about 3 years ago, but everyone just takes his silence to their questions to mean "yes" -
