It's not like we were a playoff-caliber team, we are rebuilding under a new regime and require some glimmer of hope towards the future. A "better chance @ Luck" is disgusting for everyone who shovels out $64 a game and deserve something to watch.
What I am hoping for is that our "slow approach" is b/c our coaching staff is measuring out our talent and will fill in the holes after their assessments.
With that little rant aside, here's what I would like the 49ers to do, in order, while not going "outlandish":
1a. Sign Kreutz: This is PRIORITY #1!!! Need a center who can not only hold his own but make the rest of the line better with him. How about a 6-time Pro-Bowler who's been in both a run-oriented and pass-happy offensive sets?
1b. Restructure Gore: No brainer. He needs to get in ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
2. Sign Cromartie: Losing out on Carr and Marshall (super-pissed about marchal
) makes us desperate. Look, he's had a falling out with the Jets, and he would immediately become our #1 CB. He's big, physical, and has quickness. Only flaw he has is the occassional stunt and studder, but overall upgrades our secondary drastically. Also, not bad in run support.3. Sign Donte Whitner: Goldson is not as good as he thinks he his and should be getting overpaid somewhere else. Huff would be nice, but Whitner is a real "ballhawk" that we haven't had since last millennium. Yes, he might cost a bit, but he has a real track record. We have enough run defense, need a pass defense.
4. Sign Floyd/Edwards: We need a tall target and will be missing Crabtree. Not dying over not getting either as long as we get the other 4. Can always snag a substitute WR until Crabtree gets back.
