unless we trade down. DT is where I am leaning along with TE if Kenneth Grant isn't there and Warren is. Hopefully we get at least 1 Guard in FA 
and I would prefer 2 starting Guards to free up the Draft.

I’m not sure I see them spending big on guards in FA but it could happen.
They already have older vets at guard and that’s what you’re looking at in FA. They need a young guard or two in my opinion. I also think management attributes the guard play to playing through injuries. But I do think they’ll address it.

I think the biggest needs are on defense and I’d love to see DT addressed this year in FA much like the Reader deal. It’s such an important position as evidenced by the defensive performance the last 4 years or so.

I’m not convinced one of the top DTs falls to them but it could.

I’m expecting a FA DT and a 1st round edge player to address the front 7.

I’m expecting another bargain CB with upside.

I’m expecting a bargain FA running back like Perine too.

They probably go guard in the 2nd or 3rd round.

We’ll see. Definitely an important offseason and will be fun to track!
