Smh, I've been here nearly 10 years on extremeskins, and the last thing I would do we be to underestimate the football knowledge of some of the posters here. If you've ever seen an EA thread on a certain football philosophy or Art back in the day, you'd better understand why I even bother giving the benefit of the doubt to polls over a 100 votes, even now with a lot more newbs coming in.
A lot of what you're talking about is hindsight. Not a single NFL expert picked us to have a winning record, let alone get a home playoff game.

They're going to restructure contracts like Hall and Moss and cut bad contracts that aren't performing like Jamal Brown. I expect them to again not go about the all-pro free agents, but young players that are on the cusp with a decent signing bonus and backloaded contract. Just because we sign someone doesn't mean we have to give them more money then we can afford in the cap penalty year. Our cap is going to jump when it comes off next offseason because of all the bad contracts we got rid of when Shanny got here, and they know that.
I've already seen reports we talked to honey badger at the senior bowl, so where going to draft him, imo. I can also see them drafting a fast back in the later rounds to complement Morris (good chance that will hit with Shanny's RB luck). If we do sign a FS (or DB that allows us to move someone like Hall to FS), I wouldn't be against or shocked if the 2nd or 3rd pick was on a receiver that could develop into an actual deep threat an play opposite Garcon, someone you can throw that ball up and there's a better chance then the guys we have of him coming down with it (sorta like what we need from Robinson, but a bigger player to matchup with bigger corners)
They may not be able to do this idea this offseason, but I whole-heartedly believe our first first round pick when we start having them again will be a Huli Jones type just like what the Falcons did for Matt Ryan even though he already had Rody White. Outside of FS and RT, are priorities are really on resigning people. We actually do have flexibility to address other positions because of the number of players we're going to have coming back from injury to fill holes we had this season.
