For those out of the playoffs, we are already looking towards the draft and FA.
What are your teams needs?
Who should your team draft?
Who is a big time FA your team should sign, or could potentially lose?

Niners need a FS and a pass rusher. Also a RT and a backup RB. WR might be an option as well. And then a long term QB solution.
Spikes is the only real FA that could hurt. He is someone that played very well, but I could also see the Niners going after Ray Lewis as well. Hed be a nice compliment to Patrick Willis.
FS is a huge need. Roman hasnt had an INT in like 3 years.
We need a double digit pass rusher. Not sure who is available. We could use a DT, DE or OLB.
RT is a need. Thats been a revolving door for us.
A better backup RB for Gore would be nice. Probably a speed back. Foster was kinda meh for us.
I like our WR spot. Morgan, Hill and even Zeigler looked good at different spots. Id love for Bruce to come back. Bryant Johnson kinda sucked. Arnaz Battle had injuries. We could use a WR if someone slips in the draft, or someone signs cheaper then expected.
I cant see the Niners taking a QB in the first round. But if someone promising is there in the later rounds, possibly.

Bears should look into getting T. J. Houshmandzadeh...I would love to pickup Nnamni Asmouga but the Raiders will probably franchise him.
I wouldn't mind selecting Jeremy Maclin, Taylor Mays(doubt he last till 18),Vontae Davis, Ciron Black, or Eben Britton at pick 18.

For those out of the playoffs, we are already looking towards the draft and FA. Head coach,off coordinator,def coordinator if Wade does'nt accept demotion. WR,OL,SS,FS, maybe QB since losing apparently does'nt bother Romo. Quality anywhere,preferably OL though. Dont know, best available OL,S, cut TO.

The Packers have to sign a new DC before they do anything. McCarthy wants to completely change our defensive scheme from last year. The leading candidates right now are Mike Nolan (we would be switching the the 3-4... even though he switched around all the time in SF) and Greg Williams(could be a lot of different schemes we could choose but it would be with our current players).
Regardless, the Packers biggest need is a run stopping DT. Albert Haynesworth would be an excellent signing on paper for the team, but who knows if he continues to perform at this level after a huge contract (or if he can stay healthy) are both big concerns of mine. In the draft, the Packers really need to take advantage of the OL depth. Our two best linemen, Tauscher and Clifton, lost a lot last year from the prior one. The interior line hasn't been strong since Rivera and Wahle were here and should have at least 1 or 2 new starters next year. Jordan Gross would be a great signing and an amazing addition to our team as well. He would instantly be our best OL.
The Packers don't have a lot of needs holes to fill because they will be healthy next year. We are going to have a classic Ted Thompson draft in which we take the Best Player Available on most of our picks. If we do switch to the 3-4 we need to bring in another MLB whether through FA (Ray Lewis... yeah right) or the draft (Rey Maualuga). Ideally, we would trade up for Aaron Curry and slide AJ Hawk to MLB though.

Rex Ryan for HC, and as lame as it sounds, retain Schottenheimer as OC for the sake of the young QB's.
Make Favre retire, cut Barrett... try to restructure Thomas, Bowens, Coleman, Baker and Ellis' contracts...
Those moves should get the Jets well under the salary cap.
The Jets have alot of draft picks, and Tannenbaum and the scouting department have done a great job the past few years, especially in the middle rounds...
With the 17th pick, I'd honestly take BPA... Taylor Mays, Knowshon Moreno (love Jones but he's getting up there, and I think Moreno is special), Tyson Jackson (Jets have ignored a 3-4 end need for way too long), Brandon Spikes, or Vontae Davis would all be great picks. I wouldn't be opposed to taking Mark Sanchez if he was available.
I'd like to see the front office add depth and speed to the defense through the draft, especially on the line and in the defensive backfield. We need better LB's in coverage... Barton really sucks, and that's where a guy like Spikes would fill in nicely. As for the offensive end, I love Moreno, but we don't have a huge need for him just yet. I think Hakeem Nicks would be a good second round pick... Cotch/Coles/Stuckey/Clowney/Keller/Nicks is a solid receiving core for '09, and Nicks could eventually take Coles' spot. Wouldn't mind an eventual replacement to Brandon Moore and Damien Woody at RG and RT, respectively.

Rex Ryan for HC, and as lame as it sounds, retain Schottenheimer as OC for the sake of the young QB's. With the 17th pick, I'd honestly take BPA... Might cry if these things happen. If the Jets don't do everything they can to get a playmaker on defense with the 17th pick, I'll freak. A hybrid LB/DE type is obviously a massive need, but any DB good in coverage would be huge, too. I think they can either go with those options or a QB, but otherwise it'd be a waste of a pick. I know it'd suck to make the LB/DE pick having just taken Gholston, but it's still their biggest need. I wouldn't mind a SS/LB type for the 3-4 either, they just need something to give QBs fewer options and less time out there. They need to have the talent to make aggressive plays. I don't want to keep Schott at all and I don't think it's necessary for the young QBs. If Clemens or Ratliff pan out, good, but it's not worth keeping Schott for. His playcalling is the worst. Not that I don't like Ratliff, because I do think he'll develop into a good option at QB, but I don't want to keep Schott at all. Ryan for HC is a big eh but whatever, the options aren't awesome in general.

You would seriously be upset with Ryan? He's easily the best candidate for the job. Great 3-4 defensive coordinator, fiery guy. Just what this team needs.
I don't like Schott's play-calling that much, but he has a track record of grooming QB's (Brees and Rivers). I certainly wouldn't be upset to see him go, but a little consistency isn't bad for a young QB.
I'm completely against going with a LB/DE hybrid in the first round for the second year in a row. I don't want to see the team have too much money tied into the position, plus the team has too many other needs just to be targeting that position. Pick up one later in the draft... there should still be some good pass rushers available, and it would come at a much cheaper price.
I mentioned played for most of the positions you mentioned anyway (Mays = S, Spikes = ILB, Davis = CB)... BPA was the wrong word, but I don't think the team should be locking in to one position in the first round, sort of like last year.

I honestly think we need a new HC.
I have never and probably never will be a fan of Chucky a.k.a Jon Gruden. I and many Bucs fans believe that that Superbowl we won was thanks to Dungy and not Gruden. I love Raheem Morris as our DC who I think is only going to make Monte Kiffin's defense better with crazy blitz schemes...
I forget what team is trying to interview Morris though so Tampa better do their fucking damnest to keep him in Tampa Bay. I truly believe our defense gave up towards the latter part of the season when Monte Kiffin in the middle of the fucking season announces he was going with his son to Tennessee. I will never understand how coaches can negotiate during the season but players can't? Or at least when players do it they get shit for it but when coaches do it it's OK? Makes no sense to me.
With the draft I think we need to go offensively, maybe a QB or RB. Jeff Garcia is obviously old and all our back-ups suck. Our RBs are all made of glass so we need to find someone durable. Also, we need to adress the need at CB and LB as Brooks and Barber are nearing their twilight years as well. We have a nice mixture of young and old on D so we should be OK.

Jets need a good LB/DE for the 3-4. We should of kept Vilma, Harris had a horrible year. Hopefully he can rebound.
I am not really sure who we should get as the HC anymore, I have had a lot of second thoughts on guys.
Looks like Sutton will be gone which will be nice. I would not mind letting Shot go since he did not have many good play calling choices all year. I would not mind drafting a QB with our 1st rounder.
