Haters gonna hate
Might as well start this thread up seeing as I really could care less about the Super Bowl now. And this is the only way I can forget about the game is looking forward.
We might as well put all the offseason stuff into here instead of having a million threads. Maybe sticky the thread?
Just a few thoughts:
QB: I'm fine with kaep unlike some on here. I wouldn't mind baalke getting a new contract for kaep now in case his contract demand gets even higher next year but also wouldn't mind letting him play it out. We need to find a better backup qb this year that can compete or maybe a vet that can mentor him a bit.
RB: it will be interesting whAt they decide in gore. He seemed tired a lot this year and I blame the coaches for not using more of hunter and LMJ. Gore might need to restructure this next year as we can use that money. I am looking forward to seeing lattimore next year and would love to see hunter sprinkled in more. Not sure what we do with James we never use him. Dixon could be cut but he always surprises every year and is solid on ST. We also have Hampton as we'll. I could see them drafting a guy a little later too.
OL: I expect Goodwin to retire or be cut with his salary. We will look to fill his role I the draft or promote from within probably both. The rest of the guys are here for a while, it will be interesting to see what happens with Iupati as he will be up for a contract next year. We hopefully have good depth already but I can see us drafting more help there.
TE: Don't really see any huge needs here. Davis balled this year. McDonald was 50/50 but it think he will get better. If a legit pass catching TE is there in the draft then grab him. More the merrier.
WR: Crabtree has another year and I believe he will be plating through his contract. But he needs to be locked up. Boldin I want signed for 2 years if he can be reasonable about his contract. He really saved our season this year. I love Patton and look for him to get better. Baldwin probably gone. We will draft another WR.
DL: another solid year from these guys. Smith McDonald and Dorsey played very well and it was nice to see the DL have more rotation. Smith isn't getting any younger and hopefully we get another couple years with him. It will be nice to have Williams back as we'll to spell Dorsey on some downs. Can't wait to see the tank deployed next year as well. RJF and dobbs played good well filling In. Always look to draft guys on the DL.
LB: hopefully bow can return and be just as productive as he was before. We will need Willis to be the force he was before bowman next year. Brooks is a beast. Aldon is a big priority to be resigned and will be, hopefully a little discount as he has some of the legal problems still looming. Wilhoite if resigned may need to step in for bowman if he's not ready. He looked solid in spot duty for Willis. Lemonier and Skuta are solid backups for us.
CB: our weak links on the defense at times. I really thought they did a much better than years past but still not good enough. Brock is a solid #2 maybe even 1 at times. Brown might not be back considering he will want more money. But I can see him staying if we get rid of Rogers which we better. Culliver will be back and I hope he is ready and is motivated. Morris never really got a shot so not sure on him. Will be interesting to see what they want to do with cox or wright. I thought both were good when put in, I would rather have them than Rogers. Either way this is a top priority come draft time.
S: Reid was a beast and just what we needed. Can't complain there. Whitner really grew on me this year. He still has his lapse In coverage but I like him and his leadership. However he may ask for too much. We don't really have backups that I can be confident In however. So this could also be a top priority come draft time.
K/P: Lee is a beast like always. Dawson needs to be resigned he really helped us this year.
ST: Resign Osgood he a beast. Spillman is solid still. Dixon again could surprise again but that is a crowded backfield and could be gone. Not too familiar with all the guys. We really need a damn returner who can be a game changer. We have solely lack this part of our game.
That's about all I can think of right now. Thoughts?
