Should have taken a corner last year, thankfully Hall has fallen into our laps. I'd have been in heaven if we got Cason last year.
This year? No cornerbacks in the draft really impress me
I'm hoping the front office agrees with you. Actually my real guess is the team will focus on LB's, RT's, and DT's. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if their first pick was a LB but I would still prefer a DT, unless of course a guy like Rey Meluga falls to us.

I'm thinking we're best off with the same DL we currently have. Yeah, this group needs some youth. But we make them play very strict gap schemes against the run and the pass, so adding more talent to that, considering how talented they are already, seems like a waste of resources.

Currently betting on Vinny drafting a corner with our first pick.
Don't be suprised if they look for a running back high this year. Call it a hunch.
I also had a hunch about them taking Malcolm Kelly after they picked Devin Thomas.

HA!!! Don't make me laugh I predicted they would take Laron Landry back in 2007!!!!!!!!.......alright fine I lobbied for him and they happened to take him.....sad face :(.
In the meantime I'm hoping that they do address some of their needs in free agency particularly OLB and RT. As that would give them a little more freedom to go with BPA during the draft.

Good to hear that Blache will be coming back. I hope we get him a pass rusher or two.

They will pick the best available for there first pick. So if there is a good TE or WR available we got to go for them. We don't really need any line help. :smashfrea

I think they need to do what they can to keep that starting 4 (including Rogers not Springs as starting CB) together in the secondary. If anything they're the main reason our team has been able to define convention and have a top 5 defense while lacking a pass rush.

I'd like a little infusion of youth on the exterior. Even if Buzbee comes back healthy he's just the White Phillip Daniels...meaning he's a solid player who probably does better against the run than the pass for a DE, but he's not a playmaker in the Dexter Manley mode. Not that Connor Barwin, the guy I'm targeting in the 3rd round, is either actually.
But you know me, I've for the past several weeks said that more than anything I just want this line to consistently play together and I think they'll naturally improve.
For me we need the most change on the interior of the offensive line and at LB (props to EternalEnigma for seeing that need long before many of the rest of us did).
As for Beem's hunch, yeah I think a running back/returner will probably be our 4th pick (maybe 3rd) this draft.

Top 10 defense... Yeah... I'll say he SHOULD stay home...
