Yes we still have time left in FA, but we need to shore up some loose ends before the draft. I would like for OBD to feel safe with some holes plugged up on our team so we can draft to our liking and not because we have to fill a spot.

We need to re-sign A-Train.
Sign Rhodes/Dillon or Brown (I can see us using a backfield like this and getting our #1 boy next year).
Sign a CB that could start for us and teach Youboty and the CB we get in the draft.
I would like tp see us sign Kiwauke Thomas as well.
We may only see 3 of the 4 above happen.

Seems like the FO is planning on drafting a RB to groom. We already signed Shaud Williams, and seems to be close to re-signing A-Train. So chances of signing one of those FAs in Rhodes and Brown are slim IMO.

That's what I was thinking but I'd hate to use a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a RB that we could do better on next year. Look at the top 20 from this year and how mnay will be crawling out of the woodworks next year to the NFL. There are 8-10 very solid RB's next year that should come out. I say sign A-Train for another year and also Brown.
