    Our biggest need are is the OL. Right tackle and both guards need an upgrade. If we get Nelson back maybe he will play enough for us to judge whether he is gonna work out or not. He and Reyes might be servicable but we need a player at right tackle. I would start Wharton from here on out to see if he can get it done.

    Moose is likely gone. We will need some depth behind Smith and Colbert.

    We need a young QB to groom and as insurance in case Jake really is a one year wonder.

    We need depth at DT. Buckner may be done soon so we need some help there.

    I am not counting on anything from Nelson, so I want to see at least one guard and tackle in first day drafting. I'd tender an offer to Moose for no more than 2 mil a year and let him shop himself. I agree that we need another WR as Prhoel is getting old.

    Then who ever the colts get to replace him at RT for us the following year?

    As far as tackles go, I've always liked Pettiti out of Pitt. Although, admittedly, I have only seen him sparingly this year. I know he was a three year starter, but I beleive he started as a Freshman as well.

    I like him a ton. 38 game starter before this year started. Fine pass protector. Good feet. Just a little slower, and 330, but he's a fine RT candidate. Really like Wesley Britt also - maybe a 2nd round choice goes into the spot. If enough Jrs come out, 3rd possibly. Britt's a little taller and thinner, less mean, and unfortunately, a little weak in comparison.

    Pettiti has a mean streak, just isn't really what you would call a mauler. More of a technician. Kind of like all these guys that come out of Michigan and have 9-10 year careers, but don't really dazzle anyone...just steady guys.

    we could use a guy like that. PLus, you don't draft guys like that in the high first. We need an impact DT or WLB.

    Three tackles to watch in FA now - Light, Diem, and then Womack

    This month. You're right, my fault.

    Fred Miller was a name kicked around, Titans.
