OK, which two positions do you think we absolutely sho' nuff must, without question, absofreakinglutely need to address in 2017?

For me, I think we're at least OK along at OL/DB/DT/WR/TE/RB (Obviously you upgrade if possible)

But where we have two "glaring" weaknesses is at RDE (pass rusher) and at LB (need another Vilma or Dome Patrollesque type).

We must find a stud pass rusher and a stud LB.

Gimme a Justin Houston type on the edge and a Luke Kuechley type LB and we're back in the top 5 talent wise.

Now just where do we get those two?

Who You Got?

1st round pick... a difference maker on Defense. The position doesn't matter.
#1 Turnover maker. A game changer. NOTHING ELSE.

2nd round pick... a trouble maker on Defense.
#1 Pressure maker. Strong tackler. Thinks as fast as he runs. NOTHING ELSE.

ALL FROM MAJOR TEAMS.

Also... I don't want anybody with a injury history in college until the 4th round.

We shouldn't draft for need, but the two positions I am most concerned about are pass-rushing DE and CB. Just because we always seem to get CB's beat up, we need a lot of them.

Free Agency: LB Zach Brown

Draft: DE Derek Barnett

Boom.

GUARD - Zietler is a mauler and this team needs one badly.
OLB - Ingram

Side note: Players like Malcom Smith, Zach Brown, or Kevin minter could be huge for this defense. And none of those three should break the bank.

I think Barnett is the best DE in the draft and could be there at #11.

NT and S gets my vote. The front line needs to penetrate better, and taking a S like Peppers could also take some of the pressure off of the lb.'s if used properly.

Edge rusher and Lb. I feel our CBs will be much better when they have help.

In Free Agency?

Right Guard Kevin Zeitler is the priority, then Outside Cornerback, a couple of options...

Bouye and Claiborne have only had one good year, so I'd approach with caution; Trumaine Johnson is the safest bet, but he's already 27 years of age...

There are no edge DEs in Free Agency worth those kind of dollars (maybe, maybe Chandler Jones, if he's clean)...

So I'd look to solve edge defender problem with a book end complement (e.g. Malik McDowell) in the draft...

After we've taken care of right guard and cornerback...

The only linebacker I'd really like to bring in is Kiko Alonzo, but he's a RFA and I wouldn't want to give up anything higher than a fourth round pick...

Maybe if Kikaha needs to be move to a 3-4 team, we could make something happen...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

For me it's DE and MLB

Give Cam Jordan some help on the other side, move Craig Robertson back to the outside and draft a true MLB.

I think our front 7 gets tons better from 2 moves like that.
