This is our year SB here we come

Everything is jelling when we fix our OL and get a CB we are all set.

Our core of players is still young and this draft is going to get us 4 to 5 starters. Maybe a RB and a WR to help Wilson out.

Our defense is strong with some help from the offense we are going back to the Super bowl.

If not a LB, another quality to look for is a DB that can cover a TE. Melifonwu is a freak who might show enough quickness to be able to cover the smaller WRs as well has has the speed and size to cover TE's.
The Combine will be interesting to see how he tests, but if he's off the charts, he might not last until 26.
There are a couple of "Deathbacker" types that could fill a hybrid role, too. This draft is deep in Defense this year.

Like ObS said, it's great to be optimistic, but the reality is that we need some fixes to get back to where we were. Even if we do get back to where we were, the stars have to line up for us to get back to the Promised Land. Most everyone is going to have to stay healthy and the ball is going to have to bounce our way in a couple of games.

But hope springs eternal. We got a bit of a break by ending up with 5 picks in the first 3 rounds of the draft. That's some pretty good draft capital to work with. And we have some decent room under the salary cap to sign a decent free agent. There's plenty of reason to be optimistic.

I could definitely see us going that route if the right player is there. It's the position Pete wanted Browner to play last off-season but it didn't work out. Wouldn't be shocked to see us looking for that guy

Tight ends have killed us over the past couple of seasons.

We have just a few holes to fill and we are all set. I like our chances of a SB bid. We have the best defense in the nfl and with a good running game we control our fate.

We are going back to the Super bowl.
