DRAFT:
1.15 WR Louis Henry 38/69 - 2 reds, 4 blues. Looks like a stud.
3.16 C Randal Foulke 24/55 - 2 blues, good bars
5.17 WR Lincoln Coleman 19/51 - kick returner w/speed
6.16 TE Ted Familo 24/48 - longsnapper, decent backup
7.15 WR Quentin Ford 26/47 - punt returner w/speed

Post-camp:
1.15 WR Louis Henry +6, +0 - he'll get better. I see him creeping.
3.16 C Randal Foulke +6, +1 - good deal.
5.17 WR Lincoln Coleman +2, -7 - never a good WR, he was a return man anyway.
6.16 TE Ted Familo +2, -3 - Longsnapper. Check.
7.15 WR Quentin Ford +4, -2 - never a good WR, he was a return man anyway.

Trading away some roster excess and future mid-picks brings in the inexpensive SS William Moore 48/62. Fills a big hole in the secondary.

Preseason1: v Arizona
QB Dennis Dixon was less than impressive, but not a disaster in his debut LOSS, 14-10.

Preseason2: at GBay
Our lack of pass rush may be a problem. Rookie 7th round WR Quentin Ford had a HUGE game. Wierd. Still a LOSS, 24-17. He's going to need to step up, because 1.15 stud WR Louis Henry was lost for the season to injury. DAGNABBIT!

Preseason3: at Seattle
Our scrubs look pretty bad in a LOSS, 25-22.

Preseason 4: v. Detroit
Our scrubs canNOT stop the run. Need to avoid injuries on defense this year. This was a LOSS, 20-13.

OUTLOOK:
Trouble. With Henry going down for the season, we could be looking at the 1.1 draft pick next year. But that also means we're losing games, losing fans, and we can't afford losing fans or the 1.1. Gotta pull some wins out of our butts to make this work, or I could be on to try #9.
