I mostly agree here but I will add that I think half of this list will be fairly easy to fill out (on paper), and I believe the massive coaching upgrade will make a difference too.
The biggest one obviously the O-line, everyone probably agrees there. Lots of questions, outside Onwenu/Andrews they need help. They have a few 2nd/3rd year guys that have potential to improve into starting quality players, but cannot count on that like they did last year and forgo FA.
WR - I think the coaching upgrade will help here. But adding a guy like Cooper Kupp, and (IMO) Slayton, plus draft another and we'll be okay.
TE - I'd resign Hooper as soon as they can, he was a very solid #2 TE last year, was a good blocker, had zero drops, and caught a few downfield targets. He also has familiarity playing under both Vrabel TN, and Josh in Vegas.
RB - draft a guy in the middle/late rounds. There's plenty of FA's but mostly retreads. If Pitt lets Jaylen Warren go I'd be interested.
DT - Definitely could use another run stopper. Resign Pharms for depth. Wonder if DL coach will have influence to bring in DET guys like Cominsky or Davenport
Edge - Yeah they need a couple bodies, Sweat would be great, Carter if he's there at #4.
LB - depends on what Vrabel runs. Not sure if Bentley is still a fit but he's a good run stuffer. I'd resign Ellis for depth, he was a great special teamer but was over his head playing a ton on D.. I think he can develop though. Add a couple guys though FA and Draft.
FS - Definitely a need. See if they can sign Holland of fill via draft
CB - Definitely need another prospect or 2. Not sure if J.Jones shold be back, he lost a step or two, M.Jones is a midget, not sure he fits Vrabels system. I'd bring back Austin for depth, there are some options via FA, and possibly draft another.
K - I'd bring back Slye and draft/sign another young kicker.
Apparently the pats extended Pharms today. No risk really, he's a solid depth piece who probably played too much this past season.

He's a backup. He's getting paid almost nothing, and can be cut loose at any time.

He's also wasting a spot on the 90-man roster.
He's a late developing older player with good physical ability, he's shown out to be a solid inside pass rusher and run defender. He's not a star or even a starter obviously, but he's a replacement level depth piece. Definitely worthy of the 90, and I guy I hope they can improve on, like a lot of our backups.
Come on, Captain. Dozens of spots on the 90 man are waste spots by their very definition. Camp fodder.

EEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSS!!!!!!
She's such a fucking attention whore. She was all pissed off that tb didn't stay home with her and do more with the family because she sacrificed so much just to be at home more even though she had fucking nannies and everybody else. and then what does she do? she goes and bangs this jujitsu guy and has a kid with him ugh. just when I think I couldn't hate her any more.
It sucks that I couldn't enjoy watching him play without having to listen to her run her ignorant mouth because he didn't split up from her until he was done in New England.
Gross.. The bright red throwbacks work.. But with the new stye flying Elvis head I have grown to love the silver helmets. Especially the newer style that looks more like a brushed aluminum.
