    Here is my list (in order):

    Critical positions of need (we can not compete until these holes are filled):

    LG We have no one on our roster that can play this position
    RT Clement is a turnstile
    OLB Victor Hobson will leave in free agency
    CB Justin Miller, Hank Poteat, Barrett, etc.

    Secondary areas of need (we need to upgrade one or more of these to score points)

    QB Clemens looks iffy, Pennington is done
    WR We could use a playmaker at this position
    TE Baker hasn't been much of a threat
    FB Do we even use a fullback

    Questionmarks (will adding a pass rusher make these guys look better?)

    ILB Can Vilma team with Harris? How much gas does Barton have in the tank?
    FS Is Elam the answer?
    DE Replace Coleman or Ellis? Add depth?
    DT Is D-Rob the problem or does he need a better supporting cast?

    1) NT
    2) RT
    3) OLB
    4) DE
    5) LG
    6) WR
    7) CB

    I would address the NT and one of the OL positions in FA if possible. Then draft an OLB, OL and DE with your top picks.

    I would also have Pennington, Robertson and Miller on the block.

    1) LG - for obvious reasons
    2) NT - the 3-4 won't work without one
    3) OLB - the second most important position in the 3-4
    4+5) DE and RT - both barely passable
    6) WR - not a serious need at the moment, but will be in a year when Coles is getting old

    Cornerback, Free Safety, Inside Linebacker, Fullback are also important to look at.

    1 - LG: This is a huge problem. Needs to be addressed in FA. I still like Faneca in this role.

    2 - OLB: the 3-4 relys on the OLBs gettting pressure off the edge. We suck in that department. Hobson may be gone and Thomas is awful.

    3 - RT: Another big o-line problem. No O-line = no offense.

    4 - NT: We need help here. D-rob is still useful, but not a every down NT in the 3-4.

    5 - CB: Oppiste revis is a revolving door. This needs to be fixed if possible.

    6 - WR: Someone with height would be nice.

    7- DE: Not the weakest part of the team, but could use and upgrade.

    We need to draft BPA at 6 in this draft, no matter the position. you can work on needs in rounds 2-7 or free agency.

    1-DT-DE 3-4 ends are becoming rare. We had zero pass rush with out blitzing and no one who required a double team.
    2-LG-right now we dont have one.(we can get one easily through FA)
    3-LT- only because if Jake Long is there we have to take him and move Brick to the other side.(Upgrades 2 positions with 1 move)
    4-OLB- again pass rush.
    5-RT- Clement?
    6-FS-was Elam a fluke?
    7-QB- not digging our options. Draft someone in round 3 or 4 who can compete.

    There are a few more options for LG in free agency than for NT and OLB?
