1a)WR/better pass catching TE. We need at least two.

1b) Another pass rusher in the mix.


We need more lb depth as well. Also wouldn’t mind a younger late round guy/UDFA that can do some of the same things Ingram can

I would still say pass rusher and CB. Okafor was solid but we don't know how he'll bounce back from the injury. Also we don't know about Breaux. Can never have enough good edge rushers and DB's.

Just depends on value. I could definitely see us going pass rusher or one of the better TEs in the 20s. Seems to usually be a tier of edge players there a few notches below the elite guys and usually where those pass catching TE have gone in recent years. I think we could get a wr in 2/3 hat we like.

A WR and TE

A play-making, fast linebacker

More big bodies to improve the run defense

1st) TE

2nd) LB

3rd) continue to thicken up OL/DL best available

4th) secondary/WR

5th) another OL/DL

6th) Project WR/RB

7th) Best available (maybe character issues/injury that slid)

Currently I would agree with those that say DE, TE, WR.

I think we probably still need more depth on the OL, and a LB.

We will see after FA.

Have to beat someone to this:

D.J. Chark, WR, LSU
Height: 6-3. Weight: 187.
Projected 40 Time: 4.53.
Projected Round (2018): 3-5.
12/2/17: Chark has 35 receptions for 811 yards and three touchdowns this season. Once again, LSU's limitations in the passing game are restricting the roster's receiving talent. Some sources say they are grading Chark as a mid-rounder.

I think Chark is a great receiver and exactly what we need at the position. Not to mention he can return punts

But Payton ain’t drafting an LSU player baw

In no order:

WR, TE, Pass rusher, LB for depth, S (if Vaccaro leaves, which is likely), MAYBE a QB in the draft if there is one they like.

same as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that,

every year they get a little help and lose as much as they gain plus add in areas that werent really needs.

they are ok with what they have and ignore all the deniers about brees, they should be trying to find a starting QB at any cost

If we get a better linebacker, I don't think safety will be such a need.

We do need a better wr/te and pass rusher. First round needs to go to either one if it's available

Worried about Chark drops and not every receiver in college who had no QB is MT13 in the waiting.

Chark has an issue with catching balls over his shoulder with his arms not his hands. Other than that, I think he is an exceptional receiver with good speed at his size.

Fumagali from Wisky please.

I'd love a dynamic pass covering LB if available.
