1. WR Cooper Kupp

2. A stud LB to go with Lee and Smith

3. A legit pass rushing threat

4. A real ball hawking safety

5. A physical CB who can play both man and zone effectively

6. An upgrade at RT, since Free is always playing hurt, and it affects his performance.

7. Steal the Eagles ST coordinator

8. Find a legitimate KR/PR

9. Find depth at TE and WR

10. Add RB James Conner to be EEs backup for the next several years, or even our future FB.

11. If we can't keep Leary, please find a quality replacement.

Should be dream list because that's about the only place it will happen
Reality is if you can get a legit pass rusher, a possible number 2 wr and one more big contributor and a couple depth guys you've had a great draft

Agreed.

This is a 2 LB defense, which hope will be Smith & Lee.

The 3rd LB gets so few snaps... Not anywhere close to being as important as a DE or a corner.
I don't mind a undersized 3-4 OLB who can play at SLB as well as blitz/ play end a few plays a game but thats certainly not at the top of my priorities. Its more of a luxury.

1. WR Cooper Kupp
Yes, or just a WR if not Kupp

2. A stud LB to go with Lee and Smith
We need a LB, yes, because we have no idea about Smith. So we may need 2 LB's

3. A legit pass rushing threat
This is an ongoing issue, so yes MUST be resolved

4. A real ball hawking safety
Yes, Hooker would be great here, trade up

5. A physical CB who can play both man and zone effectively
Can never have enough CB's, but yes we need this type of CB

6. An upgrade at RT, since Free is always playing hurt, and it affects his performance.
Another ongoing issue, and Green seem injury prone so far, but can't wait on him, so yes find a RT

7. Steal the Eagles ST coordinator
Not sure if he would be the answer, we just need players

8. Find a legitimate KR/PR
Another ongoing issue, like above, we just need players

9. Find depth at TE and WR
Yes, and much needed at WR, and with Witten another year older, and 2 TE's coming off of surgeries, this is almost a must

10. Add RB James Conner to be EEs backup for the next several years, or even our future FB.
Not sure about the future RB part, as Zeke is here to stay, plus if he is a backup RB, chances are he will leave in FA before Zeke. But we do need a FB, but K. Smith did decent

11. If we can't keep Leary, please find a quality replacement.
I think Collins will be alright replacing Leary, we just need depth

1. WR Cooper Kupp
I agree that WR should be a priority. The Patriots showed that smart WRs can prevail over super athletes. The Cowboys need more smart guys at WR.

2. A stud LB to go with Lee and Smith
If Smith can play, then this is a much lower priority; although, a hybrid guy like Reddick that could play LB and move to DE in obvious passing situations would be interesting.

3. A legit pass rushing threat
Agree.

4. A real ball hawking safety
I would put CB above Safety on this priority list. They need a Strong Safety with range. A ballhawk anywhere in the secondary would be great.

5. A physical CB who can play both man and zone effectively
Please.

6. An upgrade at RT, since Free is always playing hurt, and it affects his performance.
Pretty please.

7. Steal the Eagles ST coordinator
Yuck. That would be like hooking up with a Kardashian. Gross.

8. Find a legitimate KR/PR.
Yes. It needs to be the same guy. A KR only (Cordarrelle Patterson) is not that helpful.

9. Find depth at TE and WR
TE: Witten, Swaim and Rico.
WR: Even with Kupp, you still need some depth if TWill and Butler are gone.


10. Add RB James Conner to be EEs backup for the next several years, or even our future FB.
People love FBs at draft time.

11. If we can't keep Leary, please find a quality replacement.
La'el Collins.

1 FA splurge: Eric Berry
Difference maker at DE
Good 1T DT
PR/KR
Real MLB: hopefully smith


Of course a real HC, but that is a pipe dream
