    Draft needs are determined from Positional needs after the roster has been tweaked by cuts and contract extensions AND by what positional needs are met via FA.

    I state the obvious for a reason. we have addressed Some positions and not others at this point-
    -- CB: This is why this is a Huge draft need. The on field play here was bad and there is zero talent we can re-sign to address it or Money to address it in FA. We've been torched in this area and it MUST be upgraded. We cannot afford the luxury of drafting a weapon like TE ( sorry Numbah ) or LT or WR until we stop the bleeding.
    --Safety: This need has been addressed with extending Troy and signing Wil Allen But still needs addressing via the draft. Problem is Ha-Ha and Pryor are it until the 4th rd. CB is the bigger need but also the deeper class. We may be best suited to go S 1st then Corner.
    --OLBer: We have Worilds, Woodley, JJ--- So much uncertainty,..... It needs attention but unless Barr/Mack falls to us @ #15 we'll be better served waiting to around the 5th Rd.
    --WR: Brown and Wheaton, Moye was a bit of a disappointment and nothing more than a role player. Cotchery I suspect will be re-signed . I think Justin Brown will make the 53. K. Moore beat out JD Woods last year which surprised me. In todays NFL WR is always a draft need. For us its BPA.
    --RB: We have Bell, Wil Johnson, we have yet to address LSH or Dwyer. Jones should be gone. This is not a good RB class for us.Rds 6-7 would serve us the best depending of course what between now and the draft.
    --TE:With Miller & Spaeth here we'll be ok. Not a huge need
    --OL: We're good interior, OT is where we'll need help. Unless a steal like Mathews or Robinson falls to us the fact we have bigger needs will push this pick back some. The fact we have a new OL coach and A lot of young talent we might wait a year to see what happens.
    --DL: McLendon and Heyward then Arnfelt & Williams. Do we resign Hood? Keisel? Woods? Who and when we draft them depends on these ??'s.
