I am curious as to what positions you guys think the need is being overstated and which positions you believe need upgrading that you don't hear as much about.
For me there are a couple of positions on offense that some seem to worry about that I do not.
WR - I get that Twill and Butler are FA's and may be gone and I see some interest in drafting a WR fairly early or signing a bigger name FA.
For me I think this would be a waste of resources. We have Dez, the Bease and Witten. I also think Zeke should be a larger part of the passing attack and will be.. There will be plenty of low cost FA WR's floating around and there will be plenty in the later rounds of the draft for what we need. You can't have a cadillac at every position and I believe the resources are better used elsewhere.
Another position others seem to want address that I think can wait is TE. I know Witten is probably going into his last year but Hanna, Swaim and Gathers are potential answers that we can find out about this year. I see no need to use a premium pick or allocate a large amount of cap space towards the position now.
A position that I want to use a premium pick or significant resources via FA to fill that is not on the list of priorities for some others is SS. Personally I would make Eric Berry an offer he can't refuse even if it meant he was the only significant FA signing. I just think he is a proven commodity and you know what you are going to get and he would upgrade the defense tremendously.
I think signing Eric Berry would put us in the perfect position going into the draft. Getting a starting caliber edge rusher and a CB with the first two picks looks very doable to me with this draft class. The 3rd and 4th rounds looks like a good spot to nab a WR and RT depth.
