(April 21, 2005) -- Here are each team's needs for the upcoming NFL Draft on April 23-24:

10 Detroit Offensive line Defensive end Safety
11 Dallas Defensive end Linebacker Defensive back
12 San Diego Defensive end Wide receiver Offensive tackle
13 Houston Offensive tackle Defensive line Cornerback
14 Carolina Wide receiver Running back Offensive tackle
15 Kansas City Cornerback Defensive end Wide receiver
16 New Orleans Cornerback Offensive tackle Linebacker
17 Cincinnati Safety Defensive tackle Center

19 St. Louis Offensive line Defensive end Safety
20 Dallas Defensive end Linebacker Defensive back
21 Jacksonville Cornerback Offensive tackle Tight end
22 Baltimore Offensive line Safety Wide receiver
23 Seattle Cornerback Wide receiver Linebacker
24 Green Bay Safety Quarterback Defensive end
25 Washington Defensive end Offensive line Wide receiver
26 Oakland Defensive back Tight end Linebacker
27 Atlanta Offensive tackle Linebacker Wide receiver
28 San Diego Defensive end Wide receiver Offensive tackle
29 Indianapolis Linebacker Offensive line Defensive line
30 Pittsburgh Linebacker Offensive line Cornerback
31 Philadelphia Wide receiver Defensive line Running back
32 New England Linebacker Defensive back Offensive line

I decided to look at this to see who he thought we needed first(CB?), but also to see who needs a DE and could be a potential trade partner. As it stands, I think he is wrong about us NEEDING a CB as top priority, but I will operate under the assumption all other needs are right.

So according to Gil, there is Wash, Dallas and San Diego all with DE as a number one need. All have two first round picks. Interesting.

He has Minn, KC and St. Louis with DE as a secondary need, and Pitt and Philly with D-line as a secondary need. Minn has two picks in the first, Philly has multiple picks overall, St. Louis strongly needs a pass rush, and KC is lloking to make it's D better overall.

San Fran, GB, and Indy are listed as needing DEs as 3rd needs. Not out of the realm of possibility, but unlikely.

DT, CB, and OT. That looks better to me in no particular order. But... Travis Johnson would make me very happy. :P Carlos Rodgers wouldn\'t be too shabby either.

New Orleans Saints
Depth Chart

1) OLB - Outside both Derrick Rodgers and James Allen can definitely be upgraded.

2) DT - Johnathan Sullivan has been a major bust and they lack playmakers inside.

3) RT - With Victor Riley out of the picture the team could use an upgrade here.

4) SS - Dwight Smith was brought in but next to him Jay Bellamy can be upgraded.

5) QB - Aaron Brooks is often criticized and it may be time to begin developing a youngster.

this to me is more accurate-we need an outside linebacker...and I\'d love it to be burnnett
