  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Starting the season 6-2 and finishing 9-7 is pathetic. I've scoured NFL.com, ESPN.com, CBSsports.com, and many others for reasons why this happened. I still have yet to find anything. Coaches and players have to be on notice from the GM and even the owners. I know we won the Super Bowl last year, but we can't own the division for 5 or 6 weeks and not make the playoffs. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we could let Gilbride walk and make Pat Shumur our OC, and send Fewell packing to allow Jim Hermann to be our DC, I believe our team would be better than alright. As for Free Agents:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sign Defensive Tackle Sammie Lee Hill 4yr/$23million&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Draft Needs: OT, DE, LB, CB, SS, WR, C&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.) Alec Ogletree ILB Georgia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.) D.J. Fluker OT Alabama&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.) Kwame Geathers DT Georgia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.) Darius Slay CB Mississippi State&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5.) Mario Benavides C Louisville&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6.) Rex Burkhead HB Nebraska&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7.) Jeff Mathews QB Cornell&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;I know it's a little early for this, but I just thought I would place one just for craps and laughs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In round 1, we could go a number of ways, and we always pick B.P.A., but I think we will go defense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.) Alec Ogletree ILB Georgia: I think we could possibly look at him if he's there. A 3 down thumper of a linebacker, that has all the tools to be a very successful linebacker in the N.F.L. In my honest opinion, he's the 2nd best MLB, in the draft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Round 2, I think we switch to offense and still sticking with B.P.A., we take the best Offensive Tackle left on the board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.) D.J. Fluker RT Alabama: With our issues on the line, especially at RT, Fluker could be that dominant road grader that we have been lacking since &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2236/kareem-mckenzie&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Kareem McKenzie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Round 3, switching back to defense, we concentrate on our secondary. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/109254/stevie-brown&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Stevie Brown&lt;/a&gt; is a revelation in the secondary. With him, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/130858/will-hill&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Will Hill&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/34496/kenny-phillips&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Kenny Phillips&lt;/a&gt; at Safety as well as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/130874/tyler-sash&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Tyler Sash&lt;/a&gt;, I think we could go Cornerback. Taking the best available corner in the draft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.) Sanders Commings CB Georgia: At nearly 6-2 216lbs, he is a physical specimen. He is more than capable of being Webster's replacement. He could be moved to Free Safety in some defenses, but I think his best option is to stay at Cornerback. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Round 4 could have a plethora of possibilities, Offense and Defense. We have the option to take and groom a replacement for David Carr, a replacement for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/71289/ramses-barden&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Ramses Barden&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2260/justin-tuck&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Justin Tuck&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2262/osi-umenyiora&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Osi Umenyiora&lt;/a&gt;. We could draft a TE. Going back to Offense, I think we take a replacement player. Someone who could be groomed as a backup, and then a possible starter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.) Ryan Nassib QB Syracuse: David Carr isn't getting any younger, neither is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2235/eli-manning&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/a&gt;. This pick would make perfect sense, due in part of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2711/david-carr&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;David Carr's&lt;/a&gt; age. He has the arm strength, accuracy, and size to be a good QB for a backup. He could be Eli's replacement, or we could develop him like the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/atlanta-falcons&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Falcons&lt;/a&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/3058/matt-schaub&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Matt Schaub&lt;/a&gt;, and get numerous draft picks for him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Round 6, seeing how we wasted a draft pick by trading away a 5th for an injury prone &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/34370/keith-rivers&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Keith Rivers&lt;/a&gt;, we will not be drafting anyone in the 5th round. So on with the 6th round. Another offensive player here, someone who could develop to be a solid Special Teams contributor and be a factor later on down the road&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6.) Dri Archer WR/HB/KR Kent State: Smallish in stature, but a big-time playmaker. At 5-7, he's like Andrew Hawkins, but has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/34430/desean-jackson&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;DeSean Jackson&lt;/a&gt; speed, quickness, and explosiveness. He could relieve &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/152687/david-wilson&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;David Wilson&lt;/a&gt; as KR, and replace Bardens as WR.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Round 7, will be the end of a very good draft if it all falls this way. I am not saying it will, but it could.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7.) Tavita Woodard DE Hawaii: Athletic, fast, physical pass rusher, could be groomed as a replacement for a #6 DE. He could spend a year on the practice squad and take &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/108469/adrian-tracy&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Adrian Tracy's&lt;/a&gt; spot if he leave's via free agency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know it's a little early for this, but I just thought I would place one just for craps and laughs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In round 1, we could go a number of ways, and we always pick B.P.A., but I think we will go defense.&lt;/p&gt;
