QB: We should look to add a developmental QB late in the draft, IMO. Never hurts to take a shot in the 6th or 7th round. I'm not sure Plummer is that guy. Bonus if it's someone who can be a short-yardage/QB sneak threat. RB: I expect we'll sign a veteran backup and draft one on day 3. Long-term we're in great shape here if Brooks recovers fully and even if he doesn't we only need a solid #2 and some depth. WR: This is a weird position because there is legit potential with what we have on the roster if XL and Coker develop and Thielen is a known quantity at this point, but obviously not a long-term piece at his age. I almost feel like the only sure fire way to upgrade our WR corp this season is to add that true #1 guy because I'm not sure a mid-tier or aging veteran does anything but muddy the water and take snaps away from XL and Coker that they need to develop. I'm still not ruling out a big trade for a true #1 here before the draft (Tee Higgins? Brandon Ayiuk?) but we will almost surely sign at least a veteran for depth. This seems like an obvious day 2 target position in the draft as well. I like Jack Bech from TCU or Ricky White III from UNLV in the 3rd. TE: I think we're done here. I know there's been talk of drafting Tyler Warren, but I honestly don't see it. Had we not re-signed Tremble I might say there's a chance, but he's obviously our TE2 and I don't see them paying him only to draft Tyler Warren, which would put Sanders as TE2 and Tremble as TE3. I could see us maybe adding a blocking TE late in the draft, but we're probably done here. OL: We may legitimately have one of the best AND deepest OLs in the league. Bringing back both Cade Mays and Austin Corbett was a solid move, but managing to re-sign Brady Christensen is massive for depth purposes. I cannot fathom how he didn't have more interest on the open market based on his versatility alone. Even Chandler Zavala showed some signs of life last year after an awful rookie season. I can see us drafting a tackle in the 4th/5th round that we feel has some upside to develop as Taylor Moton's long-term replacement, but we finally seem set here for the first time in years. EDGE: Our biggest need and it's not close. Outside of a trade for someone like Trey Hendrickson I think we almost have to draft two edge rushers in the first 4 rounds, maybe even the first 3. The closer we get to the draft the more I'm starting to think Shemar Stewart is our likely pick at #8. I'm not sure how I feel about that given his lack of sack production, but you can't question the athletic ability. It's almost certainly either him or Jalon Walker. DL: I can see us adding some more FAs for depth before the draft and drafting a player or two as well. The real interesting scenario is if Mason Graham falls to us at #8; I don't think we can pass on him, but where would he play? Do you leave your $50M free agent (Wharton) on the bench? Unlikely since I think Graham is gone before we pick, but something to consider. LB: If there's one position I'd like to see us address other than EDGE and WR it's definitely linebacker. Josey Jewell and Trevin Wallace are not exactly the most inspiring tandem, IMO. Wallace flashed last year but is still very raw and Jewell is just a guy. I'd LOVE to see us go after Carson Schwesinger from UCLA, Chris Paul, Jr. from Ole' Miss or Jack Kiser from Notre Dame in the draft. The remaining FA options aren't great. CB: I'd like to see us add an experienced nickel; Mike Hilton from the Bengals would be great. Other than that, unless someone falls to us in the draft I think the most we can expect to add is some depth in the draft or later in free agency. S: We need another starter (preferably someone who is more of a cover guy) and some depth. There are options I like in the draft, but given our other needs I think the safer bet would be signing another free agent to start at FS and drafting some depth. ST: Need a long-term kicker and unless we sign one I fully expect us to draft one on day 3.

I can see us making some additions to the offense today. WR depth and maybe a veteran RB on a 1-year deal.

It's an overpay, but he is a good player. Welcome to free agency.

Aaron Rodgers with D.K. Metcalf and George Pickens would be a MUST watch season of Hard Knocks.

Too early still. Like his work on the OL, still have questions about his drafting and defensive FAs.

I feel like re-signing Tommy Tremble kind of signals that we're not seriously considering Warren at #8. Not that his ceiling isn't FAR higher than either Tremble or Sanders, but we don't need all three of them. Had they let Tremble walk I'd be more convinced that Warren is on our radar as Sanders could pretty seamlessly move into the TE2 role, but Tremble's contract screams "TE2!" and I don't see them giving up on Sanders after one fairly promising year.

I'm not sure we even have use for a traditional fullback in our offense. Did we even have one on the roster last year? I feel like Tremble can be that guy if needed.

Hasn't changed. Likely EDGE in the 1st (unless Mason Graham falls, then you still take him and figure it out) and LB/WR/DB or another EDGE in the 2nd/3rd. I still say a trade down to the teens is our best bet.

Poor man's Milton Williams.

The Patriots reading this...

We need to do better than Patrick Jones in terms of upgrading the pass rush. Also need to get someone under contract opposite Horn at CB.

Another good PFF run defense grade/iffy pass D grade, like the safety we signed. Seems pretty clear we're prioritizing improving the run D.

Good lord. I like Palmer, but that's insane.

Williams wasn't a nose either way.

Just looking at his PFF grades... really good run defense grade. Average to below average coverage grade.

For a long snapper? lol

Not a fan of this for that money. Should have signed Jevon Holland if we were going to go big at safety.

Man... $26M/year is a lot. Not sure he'd have been worth that kind of money anyway.

I'm sure it was. Sounds like an excuse from Mr. Chainsaw.

Milton Williams to Panthers per BlueSky.

Reddick cost himself so much money last year.

Still hoping for some of these players: DT Milton Williams LB Robert Spillane ED Josh Sweat ED Malcolm Koonce CB Nate Hobbs S Justin Reid S Jevon Holland
