Don't think they can make it and even if they do, they'll be one and done. Can't run the ball. Free agent pick up needed?

Anyone else frustrated watching Mendenhall. A number one pick who is 225 pounds and he runs scared. Guaranteed to spin like a top but don't expect a tough yard. Beyond needing a tough runner they have to get a corner (poor Deshea is done) and o and d linemen. Not sure the stellars are going to be in the discussion next year either.

Could be worse though-----could be a Brown's fan.

Easy. Mendenhall got 100 yards behind that oline, not too bad. I truely believe, that even though fullbacks are no longer common, we need one. The corners are bad all the way around, and the dline is old. We are mighty nicked up so who knows. I think people underestimate how much Aarron Smith means to this defense. In the draft I think a corner would be the obvious pick, that kid from Texas is pretty good, aside from that I do like the inside backer from Flordia minus the eye poking thing, he could be a good fit and replacement for Farrior. Ziggy played well, what we are gonna need is either a big nose or just to switch to a 4-3 and let Woodley play weakside end. I don't know but gonna be an interesting draft off season. They do need to trade Sweed.

You might get a slice of pizza and a 6 pack of Keystone Light for Sweed that would be about it. Who is going to want Sweed?
