2013 Mocks and Needs

[painekiller]

With the bye week upon us, time for me to readdress the teams areas of need as I see them. I truly see a strong team, not many weaknesses. Some depth area that can be improved upon, but no glaring issues.

So what are my concerns, the upcoming FAs are a concern. Barwin, Cody, Quin, McCain, Caldwell to name a few. Caldwell looks like he has been replaced, unless they want him for depth. McCain has a high round draft pick on the bench, Harris is waiting, does he deserve a shot? Cody, Barwin and Quin are all starters that are being paid on the low end for their positions. We have the franchise tag, which currently doesn't seem likely on any of them, unless Barwin really steps it up. And Mercilus showed signs today that he deserves more snaps.

What are my biggest concerns? ILB and NT are the biggest. TE, more specifically a blocking TE. Safety help is possibly on the list, if we loose Quin. OLB depth if we loose Barwin. Depth at DE is always a position to watch for.

To a lesser extent the OL could be an issue if Newton flops, I don't see that happening.

I'm ok at the following positions for the coming offseason: QB, RB, WR, CB, K, P.

I can see us going BPA, and truly meaning it.
