Yes I do think we have a some more holes to fill, but I knew that going into the draft last year.

I am upset with the drafting of the QB in the 7th and the passing on Aldridge. No he was not the answer but he could have been a piece of the puzzle, which the cut QB is not going to be.

We need to try to gather as many picks as we can for next year, which currently is not as deep as the last one.

I'm a little upset also, but not sure Aldridge would see the field. I think Slaton and Taylor would be ahead of him on the depth chart.

He would be an upgrade to Walker. He might have made the team and been in the mix to get carries when Green went down. That is more than we will get from the cut QB.

what about getting a DE in the 7th? i was more than a little surprised it wasn't that or an OLB instead of brink. tommy blake is the only name i can remember now but it's not like QB was a pressing issue.

Seeing that Blake has not been signed by anyone tells me he is not ready. I would take a shot on him, give him the work he needs, IR him and let see what we have next season.

well, blake was the only one i could still remember being around in the 7th.

but regardless of who, at least take positions that are filling needs. we have a great backup QB already...unless sage thinks he's actually going to start anywhere next year...

The thing I am upset about is not so much the Draft, as we signed a big free agent DE in Colvin, and then he didn't work out! I thought with his signing we had closed the biggest hole left when we didn't go for a DE somewhere in the Draft. Now we are back where we were. Does Kubiak and Richard Smith think we have someone already on the roster that is going to step up and deliver that passrush we are (have been) lacking? They will have to show me.
