Mine are locked in. No order.

RB

Speed WR

DT

DE

The RB situation is embarrassing. Bringing Zeke back was a huge mistake. They need a stud there. Preferably a guy with speed. Tolbert is a breakout guy but he is a 3. They need a true deep threat at 2 and need to improve offensive speed. The DL is a mess. Time to cut bait with Lawrence. Time to admit Mazi is not the answer. They need a major talent infusion inside and out.

What do you folks see?

DL then everything else
RB we should be able to get a good one in the third or fourth round
Honestly as regards WR I would look at FA or a trade; we need a speedster with good hands to stretch things

Their stubborn and limited approach to roster building means there are so many ways they can go.

Drafting in the 20s every year also means you are at the mercy of how the draft falls to you. Way too many variables.

They need:
RB (speed)
WR2 (speed)
WR3 (speed)
RT - Steele is awful. This might be Guyton's spot which means LT is the need.
RG - I think TJ Bass is not quite the sure thing savior the fanbase wants to believe he is.
QB of the future (maybe a year too soon)

DT - Hopefully next coach is better at identifying talent here than current brain trust.
DE - I really hope they find a way to keep Tank but the Jones' past with high-priced veterans.
S (speed)
LB (Kendrick’s age, Clark's uncertainty)

DL, WR by a mile. First three picks, in any order really, should be DE, DT, WR. RB at the expense of those positions isn't worth it.

Safety might be kind of a need too, as Wilson and Hooker are both getting older and are pretty pricey.
DT/DE
DT/DE
WR
safety/RB

Take RB in 3/4

since we sit out FA we have locked in at premier positions like WR in the first RD .

DT, RB,DE, WR, OL(2thru 5 should be best player available) & FA should solve one of these holes or another DT

Priority #1 has to be fixing the run defense. DT needs a talent injection in the worst way. LB needs at least one starter besides Overshown.

Priority #2 is getting any kind of weapons on offense. Rico Dowdle and Ryan Flourney just cannot be starting next season.

OL would be the 3rd priority. Tyler Smith is locked in at one spot, and we've placed good bets at two others, but Martin is not long for this team and Steele just is not the same dude.

In general, I am a BPA guy and don't like forcing picks based on position. But that's how I see our needs, and they are acute.

DT is by far the biggest need. Every year people here pretend it's not and every year we get our ***** kicked up the middle.

This is also a good draft for DTs. I wouldn't mind taking two in this draft.

After that, use a 2nd or 3rd rounder on a TB. After that, DE and WR and OL are the next needs.

Now if the two *******es in charge actually used free agency, you could fill one or two of these needs and then give yourself more flexibility in the draft but they won't so considering our needs, DT and RB are the two most important right now.

What they should do is use FA to sure up the OL and add a good #2 WR.

Then use the draft to fix DT and the RB spot.

They won't because they are stupid and cheap.

Agree on that. Get a tackle in FA to replace steele. And a burner WR2
If possible grab Walker in the first rd and there is your gorilla in the middle of the line
guard in second rd to replace martin
RB in the third round; a guy that can be a real threat out of the backfield in addition to being a real threat to go all the way
after that BPA.
do not know how much Kendricks has got left so we need another LB who can get minutes right away; by the end of this season we should have a good idea if Liafu is going to be a starter or not
