I think we need a linebacker

Our biggest defensive need, imo, is someone, be it a S or a Nickle backer,  who can stop the easy completions in the middle of the field and to backs out of the backfield.   I would spend a first round pick on a guy who can do that, be it S or LB.  If we ever find such a guy, our defense would immediately be better.   And it would be icing on the cake if that guy has a knack for creating turnovers.

The big strength of this team through the playoff run was the DL. Rarely will I have a problem with going DL in the first round, but we never do that. We seem to target DL and LB's in the middle rounds. As for our safeties, we're in a bad spot with Williams and Iloka. They're good enough to hold the starting gigs, but neither are difference makers like Nelson was.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
