Observing the Bengals and Browns offseason moves on defense, it was clear that slowing down Lamar was priorities number 1, 2, 3, AND 4. It doesn't help that our team has had a number of injuries, but both of them have done a nice job so far.

For us, it's going to come down to hoping (sighs) that Dobbins and Gus come back and return to their normal selves. Also, let's make this OL a top 5 line in the league, but I think that might take more than one offseason. I guess I'm looking at this division big picture for the next few years, but that's just me.

IF Stanley can comeback healthy we only have one glaring need on the OL and that's RT, but I see the team going after OL like we have been doing wr. See them double dipping at OL DL and db. Possibly taking a rb in later rounds.

the Bills forum is on the same level as the Browns, I recommend it.

I like to read the forums of successful teams when they lose and the Browns! I've always liked the Bills and their fans, I feel like the act like aussies!

As the games go by, there are covered positions in which we should invest:
Rb: we shouldn't have another situation like this without being prepared.
Te: any that I can catch to relieve Andrews
Cb: bengals and browns drafted to stop Lamar, we should to stop Burrow

we need to improve left guard, but if Cleveland improves or Phillips can win that spot, I think we should be fine. We have to resign Bozeman though.

Disagree on RB. This situation where all 3 backs go down with season-ending injuries weeks before kick off will never happen again. Total freak.

We've invested enough in LG. It's bad because the 3rd stringer is playing, but it will improve with health and experience as Cleveland and Philips - and even Powers - get better. Assuming we re-sign Bozeman, iOL is low down my list of priorities.

Injuries occur and our offense begins with the run unfortunately we don't know how gus or jk will return, hill was never a solution, and the undrafted ones either, he could use one of the 4 or 5 round picks

I think carrying a 4th running back of starting quality in case the 3 ahead of him go down with injuries is a waste of a roster spot, personally. I agree that Hill could be replaced but I don't want to see any investment in RB this offseason unless it's a flyer on a late rounder.

we will know before the draft how their rehab is going and I doubt we need to draft anyone else to back them up. Not saying we won't, but we don't need to. We have higher priorities.

I am not sure anyone could account for their starting 3 RB's to get hurt

I know a lot will change with the draft order but because of trades, three teams occupy spots 4-9 in the draft order.

4. Jets (via SEA)
5. Jets
6. Giants
7. Giants (via CHI)
8. Eagles
9. Eagles (via MIA)
