Re-signings of Pace and Dansby. Extension of Fitz.

OG - Faneca - He isnt asking for a 50 Mill contract. He didnt even ask for that much when he asked Pitt for a 3 year extension last offseason. Not sure where that 50 Mill stuff he will demand is coming from.

TE - LJ Smith - Good all around TE who can actually block. Although I am not so sure the Cards want to do this and might ride with Patrick, Pope, and maybe a low tier blocker or 4th to 7th round blocking TE. Although there are some decent TE about to become free agents and might be the route to go. http://www.footballsfuture.com/2008/nfl/freeagentsWR.html

CB - Drayton Florence, Rudy Gay, ? - I think the Cards will go with another up and comer type in the same mold ad Hood was. Not to expensive but still young and could hit big maybe.

OT - Starks - Benched all season long. Stock is really, really low right now. May come here really cheap with the hopes of beating out Gandy for a starting job on a one year deal to raise his stock for the next offseason.

Kicker - Rob Bironas or Josh Brown. Depends on what tender offer they give to Rob Bironas. If it is the low tender I jump all over it. Anything else they can have him. Josh Brown is very clutch. Hit 7 Clutch field goals last year and has done a good job this season as well. Wouldnt mind spending a 4th-7th rounder on one if we need to.

Punter - ?

Mix in some smaller depth signings.

Go into the draft with a heavy emphasis on defense. Defensive players tend to get the grasp of the NFL faster then Offensive players. Plus they tend to help out more on special teams as well. Plus maybe a RB and a K/P(one or the other) mixed in there.

Nothing that is to much or to out of the relm of possibilities.

I forgot the biggest pickup of all. Dick Lebeau

Imagine getting Lebeau Re-signing Dansby and Pace, moving Rolle to FS, getting Okeafor, AW and Green back healthy and adding through the draft and FA on D. That could be a DANGEROUS D next year

I would take Lebeau over any FA

You know how much ownership would rise up in my book if it happened and they paid him to come here.

Wont downgrade them if it doesnt happen though. Dick may want to retire or just not want to come here. Just saying it is a possibility.

What is up with the extend Dockett stuff. He is in the first year of a 5 year deal. There is no way in hell we are or should give him a new deal any time soon.

Fitz will get a new deal this year. Wilson and Boldin next year in 2008. Then maybe Dockett in 2009 even though he is signed through 2011.

Agree on Suggs vs. Pace. At least in a 3-4 scheme. If it was a 4-3 Scheme Suggs would be the guy without question though.

Not having a top 10 pick will really help things this offseason. Having to pay for a draft pick cannot be used as an excuse anymore.
I should have worded that differently. I didn't mean that we would be extending Dockett this year, or even next season, but he will get a new contract in the next two years if he keeps playing this way. I agree that Wilson will have to wait until next year too.
