The off season

Abe, Baker, and Babs aren't going anywhere. Baker played incredible this year. Dunta will likely re-negotiate his contract. We hold all the power on him.

Your picks are ok, except I don't see us taking Jefferson/CB or an OL so high. DE/DT/RB are likely 1, 2, and 3 in no particular order.

To be clear, I am not advocating all of these moves. I am simply pointing out the possible candidates. I believe that Baker will be retained because I don't think that Holmes is ready.

Abe and Babs must be weighing on TD's mind. Those contracts are heavy and neither player is likely to play up to those numbers next season.

Nolan will want to keep offenses guessing. The key to that is to have several players rushing the QB from different angles and at different times. In order to employ that kind of flexibility, Nolan needs a real NT and a bunch of fast, aggressive players. Like it or not, we all have to admit that neither Babs nor Abe are as fast as they used to be. And, unfortunately, they will both continue to slow down. From my point of view, Abe should be released and Babs kept for another season.
