We don't have that many pressing needs. We can't be completely loaded at every position.. we're already about as close as you can get though. We are going to be really tough to beat next year as it is.

Meh, that's an odd thing this board worries about, it's getting cliche and people now just continue to say it.

Hence, every team in the NFL

Also, every team in the NFL would like this

We have 1 elite CB and 3 very good CBs, maybe PJ is more solid though

We've got a shite ton of those and they are developing fast

We will take Dallas/Gesecki/Fumagali by either trading up or they falling.

Will pick up a receiver as well.

Will more than likely sign a UDFA OL

Don't really have any big needs now. LB is probably currently the weakest position group. But other than that most would be a luxury.

I could see them moving up for a guy like Darius Leonard to shore up the LB position group before they move up for a TE. Something tells me our FO just isn’t that impressed with the TEs this year

Not even close imo, I'd have to go with WR. We've got some pretty dang good LBs and good depth there also.

There’s a reason CSP listed LB as a need not long ago. We are devoid of much athleticism at that spot. We have solid players but it’s a spot we need to get better at

Well, he did mention that, so yeah, maybe I'm wrong. I just feel like no question this is our best LB core in so many years. I really think Demario Davis is pretty damn close to being elite, literally just under elite status. The rest are solid to good, and depth is pretty dang good also. Anzalone is pretty athletic but I understand about his health. Robertson is pretty good for a backup WLB.

Yes, we need a developmental OT, Bushrod is OG insurance until next year. OT needs to be addressed in the event Armstead goes down again. You can NEVER have enough depth on the Oline.

Fail on so many levels We actually have 6 picks left. 3rd, 4th, 5th, (2)6th, 7th. If we draft like we have been doing we should get some quality players.

We don’t have the 5th rounder.

But we could and should definitely be able to get 2 quality players in the 3rd and 4th

We at least have 1 star and then a bunch of roleplayers at wr. We dont even have that one star at LB, though we do now at least have several roleplayers who are definitely start worthy. Maybe a couple of guys who could develop but no real standouts.

If we're arguing about what our team weakness most likely is then we obviously don't really have one.

We need to improve our red zone and third down efficiency, two areas that we struggled at last season. A TE would go,a long way to address both areas with one pick.
