* Sign Smoot and Pierce
* Ask Brunell to take a pay cut (we really don't have any leverage with this one)
* Seek a starting-quality center
* Assess the situation with the two rookie Olinemen and maybe cut Samuels if he won't restructure.
* Look (either draft or FA) for a bruising full back type that can both block and bash it in.
* CB depth
* Resign Ethan Albright. We all know what a bad snap can do to you.
* Make sure Coles get healthy this offseason!!!
* Cut Gardner (or maybe get a low pick in a trade).

Cut: Rock, Kozlowski, & Friedman for starters.

In the draft, I trade down to pick up some picks. I'd look for a center, athletic Olinemen, versatile offensive and defensive players (ie make plays on special teams routinely as well as contribute to another unit), WRs who aren't 'elite' but know how to find the open space, hard hitting DBs, and a pass rushing DE (in the ND Kalu mold).

Those aren't necessarily in gotta have order. I don't really have an order of positions. I'd rank the players 1...n and take them in that order as they are available.
