My guess is that we shore up all the problem areas in free agency then draft BPA with every pick, excluding QB and RB.

Damn Danno! on the money

Obviously a rare talent falls, you grab him...

All things being relatively equal or within two grade points - it'll come down to an Offensive Tackle or Defensive End if we stay in a 4-3 which we probably will for at least one more season...

Sheldon Richardson, Eric Fisher, Alex Okafor, Eric Reid, Xavier Rhodes...

Names to know...

Because of salary cap limitations and multiple needs on defense, I suspect we will be moving in the draft to draft players as close to their slots to feel needs...

Either way I'm confident defense will be improved... Too much prior early draft talent that can still come into their own, and we can't get any worse performance from the next round (low standard to beat!)
