I don't think we can even guess about our needs in the draft until we see what we do in free agency.
We have six starters who are free agents plus Hill and Tupou who both played about half of the snaps last year.
DT (3) Ogunjobi, Hill, Tupou
OL (2) Reiff, Spain
TE (1) Uzomah
CB (1) Apple
FS (1) Bates
And no matter how much we love to pick and choose exactly what free agents we would sign, the fact is that players sign with different teams for a lot of different reasons that we can't control (teammates, favorite coaches, hometowns, etc). The biggest reason is money, but sometimes one team will fall in love so hard for a certain player that it would not be wise to pay more to get him here. Those of you old enough to remember when Steinbach left will know what I am talking about. I really liked Eric, but it would have been a bad idea to pay him more than the Browns offered.
There are just way too many moving pieces to guess on what our needs will be heading into the draft.
