as we sit here on March 17th?<\/p>\n I would still say offensive line depth, both inside and outside, potentially in the same person, if it’s a, a high draft pick who can play guard as he’s kind of learning how to play tackle.<\/p>\n I would still say offensive line depth, both inside and outside, potentially in the same person, if it’s a, a high draft pick who can play guard as he’s kind of

guard.<\/p>\n He got a little work in training camp at guard.<\/p>\n To me, there’s a couple other positions that they need to work on, but to me, O-line is number one.<\/p>\n To me, there’s a couple other positions that they need to work on, but to me, O-line is number one.<\/p>\n That’s interesting.<\/p>\n That’s interesting.<\/p>\n I, I don’t know if I’d put it number one just because the starters are in place, but it I, I certainly agree with you that they probably need something.<\/p>\n I, I don’t know if I’d put it number one just because the starters are in place, but it I, I certainly agree with you that they probably need something.<\/p>\n I think the top need is safety.<\/p>\n I think the top need is safety.<\/p>\n Yeah.<\/p>\n Yeah.<\/p>\n We just don’t They don’t have a, a second starter, and their first starter is a rookie that played okay last season.<\/p>\n We just don’t They don’t have a, a second starter, and their first starter is a rookie that played okay

the obvious guy is Marcus Epps, who I think you get fairly cheap, but- Mm-hmm hasn’t happened yet, which is a little interesting.<\/p>\n I guess the obvious guy is Marcus Epps, who I think you get

Cuba.<\/p>\n I, I could see a situation where they re-sign Marcus Epps, and then it’s a competition between Epps and Michael Carter for that- Oh safety spot next to Jerome Cuba.<\/p>\n And it’s

they drafted him, but Vic has told you what, with his actions, what he thinks of Sydney Brown.<\/p>\n I think the front office is probably still higher on him because they drafted him, but Vic has told you what, with his actions, what he thinks of Sydney Brown.<\/p>\n You have another position on your mind, top needs for this team?<\/p>\n You have another position on your mind, top needs for this team?<\/p>\n Yeah, I still think edge.<\/p>\n Yeah, I still think edge.<\/p>\n They added a guy, but yeah, I wouldn’t mind seeing them draft an edge somewhere.<\/p>\n They added a guy, but yeah, I wouldn’t mind seeing them draft an edge somewhere.<\/p>\n They’re missing a body type in that room.<\/p>\n They’re missing a body type in that room.<\/p>\n They’re all undersized, speedy edge
