It's too early to speculate who we will need to draft and when. Right now we might be short a WR, TE, RT, C, MLB, nickel corner, FS. Knowing Ozzie, he still might pick up a nose tackle if that's who he regards as the BPA. My bet is he fills some of these spots before the draft, or guys like Asa Jackson, Wagner, Jensen, Juice, and Omar get "promoted" to doing more.

Ozzie will draft the best player available. This year is better stocked with talented WRs than usual so I doubt he will pass on all of them in the early rounds. I could see him trading out of the first to get one though.

I don't see that Thompson has much of a chance to make the team, barring injuries. He was never as good as Doss and offered less on special teams than Doss, and Doss, rightly, has already been cut. Totally agree Smith, brown, Jones, Melette, a veteran free agent and a draft pick will likely be our six WRs. Order will depend on how things play out in preseason.

I don't know if Daryl Smith or Jacoby (or Graham) are going to stay in our price range, and I don't see Winston as being high on our radar. I think the other two (Daniels, S Smith) are very real possibilities, and would be nice additions. I honestly think we use some of our cap money on a De le Puente, Daniels, the best value at receiver, and then after all the big ticket suckers use up their money, we pounce on a RB and CB. Then we draft for a safety and hope Wagner can play RT.

You are acting like they were looking to implement a system for the long run and not to even try to win this year. Thats probably the biggest myth we are going to see in this thread. They made lots of moves to win this year. Lots of short term signings and trades. Ate up virtually all the cap room. There was no plan to tank this year and fine tune things in the offseason. that's absurd. Castillo was brought in to tweak things with given set of personnel, not to create a system that would dictate ho would be the personnel going forward. Your logic makes sense if the system was broken, but not if the team just won a SuperBowl..

The problem in your theory is that you seem to think part of the job of an o-line Coach isn't to create schemes that work with the personnel he is given. If the personnel couldn't run a ZBS scheme effectively you don't just shrug your shoulders and keep running it, you go back to the drawing board and figure out something that works better. He didn't, and that makes it his fault. No myth there.
