It seems we have holes at FS and WR to go along with the existing holes at LB and Center.
If I had to try to project a bit a possible draft might be:
Round 1: Will Fuller (Notre Dame)
Round 2: Ryan Kelly (Alabama)
Round 3: Benniquez Brown (Mississippi State) or Josh Forrest (Kentucky)
The thinking is, Fuller is a receiver with deep speed and in college showed ability to get separation and also to haul in the tough catch. Kelly is supposed to have excellent technique and be effective both in run and pass blocking. Brown and Forrest have somewhat different skillsets but both are "natural Mike linebackers".
Obviously things will likely turn out different.
Prior to Free Agency I thought DT and LB was the priority.
Now we have lost Jones and Sanu WR has to be looked at earlier in my opinion....even if we get a veteran in later we still need to bring in a quality talent to develop.
Center is not a priority right now in my opinion.
