I was a little concerned that we just signed Hubbard because of Haley, but he's looked better without Haley

I find it just a tad surprising that the unit on our team that has performed so far above expectations is being picked apart by fans. Question deputy. If we had “solidified” our left tackle position what would have played out differently the past 8 games? Baker has had what, 3-4 sacks in 8 games? Shoot he had games where he had zero pressure, not sacks but pressures. Keep in mind at least two of those games were against two of the best pass rushing duos in the nfl. How much better would it have been if we had “solidified” our lt position??
In those eight games our running back has averaged close to 100 yards per game. How much more do you think he would have gained with a “solidified” lt position?? You cannot get the kind of tackle you want outside the first round. We have far greater needs.

I think if our pick is up and the BPA is a lineman, interior or tackle, you take them. WRs can be had all over the draft, the only other positions I would go for first is a high quality corner or a stub LB.
The base of our team has been built, now is the time to stock quality depth.
RIP, Jim

I would agree on the corner, but I am not sure that we need a really, really short linebacker.

You cannot get the kind of tackle you want outside the first round. We have far greater needs. What I mean is that we then have the luxury of playing Robinson on the right. I think Harrison could be the guy to solidify the left if he bulks up. I'm in agreement with you and don't think he have to make a high investment at LT other than what we have and some lottery tickets. What would we gain? An even easier scheme and being able to throw those deep routes more often. Kitchens job gets a lot easier when he doesn't have to worry about how long the line holds their blocks.

The good news is there isn't a GLARING need right now ... But DT, WR, and LB could be upgraded IMO

4life, honestly with denzel’s History of concussions and the frequent need for 3 corners that would be my top priority unless the value is not there at that position. I hope we minimize the use of free agency except resigning most of our own.

Keith, that could be. I'm not sure what type of CB talent there is that high. We'll see of course
