The depth of this year's draft is at RB, DT, Edge. Both the WR/off ball LB's lack depth and high-end talent.
#2 WR-almost forced to use our 1st rd pick at the position if not addressed in fa. Day 2 selections will not make a big enough impact and be much of an upgrade of what we currently have.
-Sign or trade for a veteran #2 starter. Players like Adams, Diggs, Kupp all can come at a discount and be very good compliments to Lamb. This also allows more developmental time for our younger prospects.
MLB-Kendricks is a fa and was only brought in to help with Zimmer's transition. Probably won't return. Marist is still a developing prospect and Overshown isn't expected to return next season. If this team truly wants to get better against the run, this is one of the positions you look to spend your resources.
-Sign a Type A free agent like the local Dallas Product Nick Bolton or Raiders tackling machine Spillane. Both are tremendous run defenders that do enough in coverage to stay on the field.
Corner-not many discuss this as a position of need. Look what happened last year when they were forced to start street fa's at the position. Diggs who has been discussed as a cap casualty to expected to miss time next season recovery from major injury, some even speculated he could be like Overshown and miss the entire season.
-Sign or trade for an experienced starting corner, like they did with Gilmore two seasons ago.
Secondary areas to consider:
NT-unfortunately Mazi Smith has progressed as we all have hoped. Has gotten better, but still remains a below average starter. They could look towards the draft to add another prospect, but they typicially take time to develop at the position. Signing a veteran like 49ers Hargrave would make a ton of sense. Can play either interior spots and take Mazi off the field against the pass.
DE-If DLaw/Golston both depart it opens up a huge hole at starting Left DE. Kneeland is still developing, cannot rely on Sam Williams at this point especially coming back from major injury. Kind of like WR, almost have to use a top pick to address this need. Matt Judon another Dallas local player could be a good short-term solution.
