OK, when I think of weaknesses in a roster I think either a key position manned by a below average player, or a unit with just too many average players and no stand-out player.
Right now, I think the only weaknesses we have are at WR, CB and LB, and maybe the O-line if we can’t resign DLP. But even without DLP we have 4 solid players along that line.

Ranking the weaknesses I come up with…
1- CB Yeah, Lewis is a stud but the jury is still out on Robinson and White. The odds are one of them steps up, but we could certainly use some more young talent behind them. Vets are expensive so I’m certain we’ll see a high draft pick spent on one.

2- WR Colston is a standout but for how much longer? He started slow last year and we really can’t have that happen again. Stills looks like a great number 2 guy. Behind those two we have nothing. Morgan is injury prone, Meachem looks to be in decline, Toon was disappointing and the rest are basically nobody’s. It’s a deep draft for WR’s so I can certainly see a top prospect picked early.

3- LB We have some good player, but just don’t have any great ones. Galette is approaching that, but both Lofton and Hawthorne look simply average to slightly above average NFL linebackers. We need speed. Reddick looks like a thumper, but he’s not that sideline to sideline guy we need. Butler looks promising but we just don’t know yet.

Honorable mention –

DT, Bunkley slowed down a bit in 2013. Is it age or did he just have a slightly sub-par season? I think he still has a couple good seasons left, but I’d love to see a mid to late pick for depth. Since we rotate a lot we don’t need that everydown DT, just one with enough talent to take 20 snaps or so.

I know we always go BPA with a little need factored in, but I'd sure love to see a WR, LB, CB as BPA in the 1st 4 rounds.
