My biggest issue with the draft and our current FA's is that we didn't address our defensive shortcomings.  All of our top draft capital went toward changing our offensive foundation and trading up for a QB who will likely be a backup for at least 3 seasons.Kirksey should be an upgrade over Martinez but has missed most of the last two seasons. If he gets injured, we are in serious trouble. We didn't add to the DL.We haven't added a CB and King is a FA next season. If we are relying on organic improvement from our current players/coaching, we are asking for a massive jump from what we saw late last season and into the playoffs.  Hopefully there are still moves to be made at DL and it sounds like Williams will be back in the slot but he is 37.  Again, my biggest issue with the off season isn't the offensive approach if the org truly thinks it gives us the best chance to win.  It is almost completely neglecting the defense which was as soft as ever late last season and the biggest reason we were routed by the 49ers.</blockquote>
