Well, it is gonna depend on where we pick & what we do in FA. I'd say the biggest needs remain:
1) OL. Center for sure. There is a highly rated guy from Iowa. Beyond him, I do not think there is a first round worthy pick. Reiff has been good, but is a FA, so a tackle could be needed. At guard, we'll see how Carman does, and Spain has been good, but he is a FA as well. C. Possibly RT and G. We can save $6 mil by cutting Hopkins. $3 mil for XSF. Considering the importance I place on Burrow, I'd be inclined to cut XSF/Hopkins, take that $$ & pay some combo of Reiff/Spain, or another proven OT/G 8n FA, and draft the kid from Iowa to play C.
2) Shutdown corner. Though playing a ton of zone, it might not be AS critical. And I'd like to see how Waynes does the rest of the year. He is $5 mil of dead cap if cut, but makes $16 mil. Again, have to see how things shake out with Waynes. If we pick late, not sure this is an option.
3) DT. Ogunjobi, Tupou, and BJ Hill are all FAs. Reader & Shelvin are NTs. A 3T might be needed. Though 5here is often good value here in rounds 2-4.
4) Safety. Bates & Allen are FAs. If we lock Bates up, not as much.
5) LB. Pratt & ADG have been better, but a stud next to Wilson might be fun.
6) TE. Beyond CJ, we don't have much.
7) RB. A backup/successor to Mixon. Bigger back/Perine upgrade.
8) WR. A quick, jitterbug KR/PR type who can backup Boyd in the slot. Or another speed guy hesides Chase. Not in the first or second, though.
9) DE. I am assuming Ossai ends up OK.
