    What 9s everyone’s opinion on the roster after FA? What and where do we need to add? What positions can stand to be upgraded besides the obvious holes like QB and Left Guard?

    I believe obviously we need a franchise QB but I’m ok going with Rodgers and Howard as the backup this year.

    I would like to see us bring James Daniel’s back on a one year prove it deal if we can. Then draft a guy early as in first three rounds.

    we need to add a slot receiver to compete against Wilson and another recover for depth and to backup Metcalf and Pittman.

    I am excited about our defense on the perimeter both against the pass and the run with our edges and Dean and Porter at outside cb. I still think there is opportunity on the interior of the defense. We need to look for a large run stuffer to strictly pay early down nose. I’m not saying draft one in the first three rounds but maybe spend a fourth on Dontae Corleone or go sign Dj Reader.

    Benton can play nose in -assign situations but would primarily be a rotational piece to backup Heyward and Harmon. This would help everyone. It would keep Heyward and Harmon fresh and protect the ilb’s having a larger NT in on early downs to keep them clean.

    We also need to look at drafting an ilb within the first three rounds. -referably someone with better instincts who can wear the green dot and qb the defense. I don’t think queen is a green dot guy. He is a great athlete who either lacks instincts or under prepares and doesn’t watch a lot a film as he seems better being the Robin to someone elses Batman. Perhaps getting a true leader on defense at Ilb and having a true NT in front of these guys we could see them both flourish.

    We also need to figure out the slot cb position. It has become a very important position in today’s nfl that can really impact defensive play. I think Ramsey can do a lot of the slot work successfully especially against the run and blitzing, but does he have enough in the tank in coverage? He can handle Te’s and Rb’s but shifty small slot receivers he might struggle with especially in man coverage. I would like to see us get a fast twitchy glue guy in coverage we can sub in from a matchup standpoint against teams with quick shifty slot receivers ie. Kirk in the Houston game last year.

    Finally we need to draft a legit free safety. Right now we seem to be three deep at Strong Safety.
