With us basically set at QB, and seemingly done wooing noteworthy Free Agents, I don't see us improving much. I could easily see us fall back 2-3 games even.

We are entering the draft with a HUGE hole at Defensive End. We need to hope and pray one a good one is available for our pick, or I suspect we will be reaching for one.

It would have been nice to enter the draft with the ability to pick BPA. Even if we had positions that could use improvement, right now we are all but locked into drafting a DE early. That, or go with 2 of Edwards, Robinson and the constantly injured James as our potential starters.
