Priority:

DT-decision needs to be made on Osa, have zero depth at the position. Run defense remains a huge concern.
WR-Cooks isn't expected back, they do not have a true #2 receiver on this roster
RB-our lead back scored just 2 rushing TD's all season long.

Secondary:

Corner/LB due to the injuries of Diggs/Overshown-depth at both positions is very thin.
Guard/Tackle-might be a year to see if our young prospects can be productive starters
Safety-both our starting safeties struggled this year and are playing on their last yr of their contracts
Edge-Sam Williams is still under contract, will DLaw be resigned? Could sign another Lawson/Fowler type for depth

We have a lot more needs than picks. I would go FA at DT if possible. Then draft a RB, WR and what ever else I could fill. Resign Lewis, Kendrick, gholston
I forgot .......Aubrey and Turpin are also starting free agents. Both were just selected to the ALL-PRO team, so they are def priority signings.
I agree ........FA at DT ( NT/Tech 1) pair him with Mazi. Would love to have Osa back but we have too many needs to pay him $10-15M. Duece is the only signed RB.. we need two, draft and free agent.

you had injuries in there sure I agree with some of that list but I got to take safety off there I don't know how well bill and Thomas are going to come back but I think our safety is actually played better than you think you go D line first right defensive tackle all the injuries we had on the back end as well as not being able to really solidify the middle of the defense you're blaming the safeties I didn't see it I think we could roll with those safeties when bell and Thomas come back maybe you make one cut there but I don't think that's a priority you said priority now there are more priority and I also have to question garden tackle on the offensive line we have a lot of guys on this team that can solidify that line we have bigger needs than those two positions...

my biggest need position list is,

OLB pass rush/or LB maybe both given the big? on Overshown and Kendricks futures as well as tank, WR2, RB, and IDL.

Truly there's so many issues with the injuries across the board it's hard to tell who we're going to have and not have is it be tougher on this front office than it normally is because they don't know when these guys are coming back... etc. The injuries are truly what decimated this team this year we know this and we're not gonna debate it and argue it here but it's hard to know what you need and don't need by not knowing the futures of all these players that got hurt...

definitely a very challenging offseason but first and foremost we need to know who the coaching staff is and know what the schemes are to know who to replace....

Basically we could go anywhere and call it a need.

I could see a small extension worked out with Sam Williams, adding a year. Mutual benefit to do that. Williams not in a good position going into walk you, and Dallas may want one more year of contract control

Starting QB is becoming fine china
UFA starting RB. Dime a dozen guys behind him.
WR not much talent behind CDL
TE we got bodies, but Ferguson regressed in year 3. Not urgent.

LOT: To be determined if Guyton is the future or if he is a RT.
Rest of the offensive line could survive as is.

DE's are shallow depending if they keep Lawrence

No 3Techs signed for 2025
1-tech are just Smith and Rogers

OLB: Overshown may miss the year or most of it
MLB: Kendricks is an UFA. Maybe depends on if Zimmer stays.

CB: Diggs may miss most of the year. Lewis is an UFA
S: Hooker, Bell, Thomas and Wilson are signed but no one really stood out in a good way

pretty good priority list.

that's a lot of needs. I would move Saftey to the top and make it a high priority.

1. NT/DT
2. RB
3. LB
4. CB
4 Major needs due to lack of players and talent level. 2+ acquisitions each position.

5. OG
6. TE
7. WR
3 positions with plenty bodies, but could use 1 really good player to make the whole group and offense better.

8. OT
9. QB
0. FS
Underperforming positions with significant money or resources involved, so the players have to improve moreso than make a move.

*I'm content at DE, but I'm always open to a talented rusher opposite Micah.

Coaching
i.e. Coaching continuity with in staff.
Coaching: expecting / demanding results.
You cannot build a roster until you have a plan.
Guys like Belichick and Shanahan install a play and run it over and over until every player knows their job and adjustments.
That's the ticket to penalty free football.
Until then you don't know your needs.
