NFC East only...

3. New York Giants
Record: 1-7 (.554)
Top needs: OT, LB, CB
The skinny: If the Giants do indeed believe 2017 draft pick Davis Webb is Eli Manning's eventual replacement, the top need is offensive tackle. Their LB corps isn't very impactful and needs an alpha on the unit. Adding competition at CB would be prudent.

-

19. Washington Commanders
Record: 4-4 (.609)
Top needs: QB, S, DL
The skinny: Until or unless a new deal gets done with Kirk Cousins, QB is the top priority. I expect the Commanders will view safety as a need by the time the offseason arrives. Adding depth along the defensive line should be a consideration.

-

21. Dallas Cowboys
Record: 5-3 (.424)
Top needs: TE, DT, RB
The skinny: Jason Witten will turn 36 shortly after the draft and it's time to find the player who'll replace him. Adding a talented defensive tackle who can get upfield could be in play. Both Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden will be free agents, so adding a backup RB should be a possibility.

-

32. Philadelphia Eagles
Record: 8-1 (.413)
Top needs: LT, LB, CB
The skinny: The Eagles addressed their need at RB with the addition of Jay Ajayi, but the season-ending injury to Jason Peters will likely make the left tackle spot a high priority in the offseason. It would be surprising if they didn't look for help at linebacker, and the CB corps isn't quite where it needs to be.

Ughhh, and Safety.

LB we only have 3 under contract next season. 1) has a long injury history, another is still coming back from a devastating injury & the other likes to do stupid **** during the off season. Need not only bodies but capable players who can play multiple spots!

agreed like we need to draft a couple of LB

Personally, I think LB is our biggest need. You can never have enough of them--they're among the most-injured player groups in the NFL--and we are woefully short of talent and depth in that position. We have one great but injury-prone LB, one competent LB, one LB that we can dream on but not count on, and that's about it.

Zierlein hasn't a clue what our team needs are. We do need a 1T and a backup RB (assuming Smith doesn't make that unnecessary here during a suspension for Elliott), but both of those are positions you fill from the 3rd round on down. S, LB, OL, and even WR would all be on my list above any of those positions.

 

[Risen Star]

LB is the weakest area of the team. Just a dreadful group. I'd add multiple LBs over the next couple of seasons with the expectation that they have to replace everyone with Lee being older, Jaylon having to drag his right leg behind him for the rest of his life and everyone else sucks.

LB, S, DT would be the three I'd list.

NO CB?

NO CB?

I think move Jones back CB

LB
S
Everything else....

 

[Dwight]

NO CB?

Lol

 

[KingintheNorth]

I think move Jones back CB

He should but only if they address the Safety position. Heath has to go (as a starter).

But, I don't think they do it. This brain trust doesn't like admitting they were wrong.

Count me in although to me a great 1T DT would go a long way to improving our defense

If there is a good one at 32 D) I'd pull the trigger but I know this team won't

Safety is about intelligence and tackling
I'd consider moving Awusie to safety next year if the staff thinks he can do it

 

[Hardline]

If you think TE is the Cowboys top 3 needs who do you like?
I personally love the guy from Wisconsin. Troy Fumagalli

Maybe the FO should deal for Wentz...all problems resolved
