A few notes:

I still think we trade a RB away for pick(s) or a depth player. Maybe bring a guy like Tennant, Tanner, Wilson (MLB) or Scott (DB) back if we trade one away for picks.

It's a shame Toon is out. I was really looking forward to him.

My biggest concerns are at the interior of our offensive line. I don't trust Eric Olsen if Evans, Grubbs, or DLP goes down. I would've rather kept Tennant, but maybe there's something I don't know.

If Greer or Patrick goes down for any length of time (which is likely) we are in a world of hurt. JP can hold down a #2 spot for a week or two if they aren't great QBs, but I don't trust him for more than a few weeks.

I think Corey White is going to end up being a steal. I predict that within 2 years he is making life real hard on Roman Harper, pushing him for playing time. I know they keep saying they drafted him to play CB, but the guy's a natural SS.
