I really think LB should be considered as a close 2nd -- think about where our LB Corps will be in year or two, someone please respond, I must be missing something here..

I can make an argument for this. This group is going to need a new starting outside linebacker next season assuming Rocky misses the season. Also, Marcus Washington's best days are behind him IMO. I don't think he can't play anymore, but I think he may have about 2 or 3 years left of being very good. Also, London was great this year, but I can't guarantee that he can be counted on for more than next season or the year after.

This is an aging group outside of Rock and HB Blades, that does not bode well for us. However, I don't feel like LB should be a priority for this draft, but next year it could be the #1 pick.

top priority should be secondary, thats where i think we should go with our first round pick. talib would hopefully be available then, if not flowers could be a good choice since he declared for the nfl draft, very physical player. second should be o line, i think we should grab atleast 2 o linemen in the draft

D line needs a youth infusion, by the time he developes the current players will be ready to leave football. We have some youth on the O line already making progress,

With Rogers coming back from injury and Springs possibly gone, I've gotta say corner right now.

I voted D-line.

I like our DT's, we're in good shape there. I think we need a compliment to Andre Carter. Carter has long shown the ability force a QB's to step up into the pocket. Now we need someone to collapse it.

Maybe a bigger DT would do it, but someone needs to get some penetration and so we're not forced to man up in the secondary.

We certainly need some depth there. Assuming Springs leaves this offseason and we don't re-sign Macklin, Leigh Torrence will be the #2 starting CB and our nickel and dime corners would be ?????

You want a beast run stuffer, Isaac Sopoaga DT 49ers, he'll be available. Too bad we are set at DL otherwise he would be my first choice the guy is an animal. We need a DE more than DL.

It won't come to that, whether it's the draft or free agency or both, corner is a position that will need to be addressed.

I vote corner and then def line. Hopefully the O-line stays healthy next year, and the back up now have some exp. It would be nice to snag Brandon Flowers in the 2nd round, if hes available.

Rocky should be 100% recovered within 2 years and, hopefully, HB Blades will be a solid starter by then as well. In the meantime, guys like Washington and Fletcher should hold things down. Word is that we're going to target Briggs though.

Joe Gibbs just stated in his season ending presser that Rocky McIntosh should be ready by the season opener next year.
