According to you, what is our most glaring need?

I say we go BPA. We need depth across the board.

 

[I need 6]

I keep seeing posts of people wanting a new FS in the 1st round, but I don't think replacing Hamlin is our most glaring need. I think we need a 3-4 DT and depth behind our o-line starters. Age is becoming a factor there and we're one injury away from disaster if Ratliff gets injured. I want to go for a DT in the 1st round. But I can also see us drafting another corner. It seems to me we have enough safeties. JMO

What is your most glaring need?

I agree that we need a 3-4 NT. Terrence Cody played in a 3-4 at Alabama. We could draft him in the 1st and reduce risk with weight provisions in his contract. He won't last much longer after the 27th pick with San Diego and the Jets drafting after us in the 1st and Miami and Denver drafting before us in the second. Ratliff could slide over to Spear's end position and we could let Spears walk. With Bowen, Hatcher and maybe Dixon we wouldn't miss a beat. We could use more play making at Spear's end position. If Ratliff got hurt we would be in trouble. He just had surgery on both elbows so we need to take notice of the signs that he is wearing down a little.

We can get a wide body late to help out the Rat. Drafting for Depth was a huge mistake made in the 90's by Jerruh that I hope is not repeated.

Kicker -- take the Tiffin kid from Alabama with the fourth pick.
