Thoughts on the moves?

I think after all was said and done they made some really good moves all of which made the team better at the end of the day. Vilma was expendable because of Harris; and Jenkins and Faneca fill the largest voids on the team. Nice job on paper - lets see how it pans out in the field.
Great pickups! Plus J MacDroppins is gone! The question is: why aren't Barrett and Sutton gone as well?
Let's keep the pressure on..
DRob for pick(s). Chad for a pick. Sign a CB, RT or an OLB, then we may have room to draft a receiver or two. If Coles is dealt, receiver priority should be even higher in the draft. I really would prefer to keep LC around though, if cash doesn't become an issue. If you addd a tall/speedy receiver to that core, (along with the improved rushing game and protection for the pass) and this offense will be halfway decent next year.
WE WANT A PODCAST SOON! And when I say we, I mean just me really... but pleaaaase!!
Chad will probably stick around to be a mentor like figure to Kellen and I think he will be good at it. Also, he will keep the pressure on Kellen to play well otherwise Chad can come in and play. Remember, this isn't exactly Favre we are talking about here, Kellen is bound to miss a game and I feel comfy knowing Chad is there to back him up.
Robertson needs to go - I would try to snag a 2nd rounder for him or at least 2 second day picks. You can always turn that into a guy like what Fabini and Jason Ferguson were (surely enough Ferguson ended up in Miami with Parcells - guarantee they stop the run this season) - steady players picked late.
As for a podcast, next week - we promise...all of this must be analyzed.
It is good stuff and nice to know that they saw the running and passing game just turn to hell with no offensive line.
It is almost like they are admitting they made the mistake.
Now, can they get these guys together, form a solid unit, bolster (or lessen) D'bricks job and produce a solid running game that can get 1 yard in 2 tries?
If so, we are back to 10-6 or better.

Next week for sure to round up all the off season moves.
