Our top needs are still in mu opiion

Safety and Guard are tied at top.
DE/Edge is second
Then a toss up between LB and RB as both poisitions are light are credible bodies right now.

We usually carry 5 DTs. Room for 1 more, easily..And while Campbell is not a great pass rusher, he is above average...and the #1 rated PFF DT vs the run. I'd call him for sure. 

Heck, I'd much rather carry Campbell and an extra drafted DT disrupter than some of the dead weight elsewhere (Burton, McLachlan, etc.).

I actually think they'll draft a guy in the mid-late rounds who will be the 5th DT.
The only exception I could see is if Golden actually decides he wants 4 full-time DTs and have 1-2 of the DEs pivot more often inside as nickel DTs like the Fanene/Rucker days.
If they do that, I think Rylie Mills is a clear target, as he can play base 4-3 DE who kicks inside on 3rd down.
