Why don't we ever talk about QB for the Jets? Rodgers turns 41 this year and it seems like a way better team building strategy to get a guy who can sit behind him for a year than needing to stay his immediate replacement next year
TBH i don't think the jets know how to properly develope a QB. Jordan Love worked out because Packers are great at developing QBs. Same situation for the Jets might not work the same. Zach Wilson, Sam Darnold, Mark Sanchez, Chad pennington. Not a good trackrecord.
You would take away assets from giving Rodgers his best chance to take you to the promised land When the falcons did it, it was still bad but at least no one has expectations above winning the division for Kirk
@@N3moSports Do we know for sure that Jordan Love worked out? He has had a handful of decent games, but that's about it so far, and this is his FIFTH year in the league.
@@randolphduke he took the youngest team to make the playoffs and got them a playoff win and were 3 points away from beating the team that made the super bowl
for the steelers i would say outside receiver to pair with george and roman, interior dlineman as a benton partner to takeover for Cam/ogunjobi, and a true number two corner to pair with jpj unless they like donte jackson. sneaky qb depending on if one falls or running back to pair with whichever of najee/warren are resigned and the talent is there.
As a Steelers fan: I’m actually really happy overall with the roster at the moment, but my two priorities to address in the draft are 1. Wide Receiver (especially a catch point big bodied handsy type guy for when Pickens is taken out of a play and we need a playmaker to step up) and 2. Secondary (either corner or safety depending on who is available but I just think more depth and youth on that end would give me piece of mind)
A pretty big need for the Steelers and no one realizes it except for Steelers fans because our defense has been playing so well is actually cornerback. Jackson the guy we got in the trade for Johnson is only on a two year deal and behind him we don't have anybody except for Corey Trice and Darius Rush. Corey Trice is great, but he doesn't stay healthy and he just landed on the IR yesterday. We have zero cornerback depth and if we don't draft one we will be in trouble. Another position that I would draft if I was the GM of the Steelers is defensive tackle and that's honestly just because Cameron Hayward will not be around forever and I really would want to get ahead of that even though we signed him to an extension.
For the Hawks, Abe Lucas sounds like he has a chronic knee issue. Unless we see something change this year, RT will be a need for the Hawks along with IOL and LB
Agree with this but NT could be found via free agency pretty easily as it is not a highly valued position. Hankins would be someone to try and re-sign. So no need to force a pick there unless a big DT falls into your lap.
Steelers Dline. NT or 5 Tech type. Cam Heyward is 35 years old. Ogunjobi will be 31 next year and on last year of deal and has a lot injury history. Benton is more of a penetrator than a sustainer. All other D-Lineman are JAGS at best and will likely be gone next year. Wide Receiver is 2nd need. A true young dynamic nickel. QB is TBD. RB1 or RB2 or depth in general. Naj contract not renewed and Warren while good unlikely to be true #1 by himself.
Day 1 - almost certainly CB unless they trade out or someone very high on their board falls - like Turner did. Day 2 - probably RB and IDL, they might even double dip at CB Day 3 - whoever they have highest on their board - I don't think positions will come into it very much Succession planning by age, contracts, positional depth - suggests Griffin and Gilmore are the most pressing needs, then Aaron Jones, then Bullard, Jihad Ward, Harrison Smith, Garrett Bradbury, Kamu I could see Kwesi extending Tillery and Jihad for another year.
Steelers: take OT off the list. Jones might be more project than we thought but between him and Fautanu I think you aren't picking one even developmental. Plus, dare we say it, does DMJ has improved, do you bring him back and have 3 solid T, plus Darnell Washington who might as well wear that label for his role and how massive he is. Top 3 has to be: WR BIGGGGG GAP DL: Cams great but age, Larry O is resurgence but age. So they just need youth in that third spot next to Benton RB: hear me out. Najee is an FA. Would love to have him back but if not, we have Warren who I think is great but not as a feature and Patrerson who again is showing sparks but is wrong side of 30. Bonus:Slot CB, got Sutton but off suspension who knows, but Beanie Bishop is a 53 man roster guy, but not a upper tier starter in an otherwise surprisingly really good secondary.
This is the right answer for the Steelers. WR is obvious, DL is playing great rn but older players. RB shouldn’t be controversial either the way this team is built, imagine getting a stud rb for this run game. And then corner could use some bodies as well
Tre - spot on for the bills. DT is the number 1 need. Oliver is a great player, but his line mate is like 34 coming off a major injury, and we only have scrubs behind them.
Seahawks biggest needs 1. Tackle - Cross is good, but lucas hasnt been healthy since 2022. Lucas will be up after 2025, and i think with the injuries he doesnt get extended. They also have no viable backup options. 2. IOL - No one at guard or center has proven to be a long term option 3. LB - They have dodson and baker (injured), but they seem more like short term vet options. Tyrice knight could maybe be something, but young and unproven at the moment. I dont really think tight end is enough of a need to be in the top 3 because Fant just got extended so i dont think it makes sense to already be thinking about getting out on him. And they drafted barner who is fine depth
Arizona Cardinals: Easily EDGE, IDL & CB. RT & LB are options as later round picks also. Kyzir White & Mack Wilson have been solid enough to where it isn't a 1st round need. But maybe a Day 3 High Ceiling Flyer EDGE is massive. Zaven has been better but still not great & Dennis I like a lot but can be very hot & cold. Ever since losing JJ Watt, Zach Allen & Chandler Jones the pass rush has been horrid. In a very good EDGE Class gotta take a shot DT: I like Darius Robinson & Roy Lopez but you need more than that. You overpay for Justin Jones & now he's out for the year. If a Mason Graham or a Deone Walker intrigues you. Go get em. CB. I like Max Melton's Pro Bowl potential but he isn't a given & if one of the top 3 CB's like Morrison, Travis or Will are there I think taking any of em is a slam dunk pick. RT is also a need. Paris I believe will only get better at LT. RT Jonah Williams we paid but he got hurt & in a small sample size was whatever. If you can get a solid OT in Round 2 like Josh Simmons or Blake Miller I'm all on board.
As a Texans fan, I feel Safety is by far our biggest need. Calen Bullock has started really well, but the guys next to him have been giving up plays in the passing game (those 3 Richardson bombs in week 1, Eric Murray attempting to cover Justin Jefferson for some reason on JJ's TD on Sunday, etc). Especially considering Jimmie Ward is 33 and Murray is both 30 and a pending free agent. DT next. Maybe not quite as desperate as it looks on paper, given how DeMeco has built a really stout run defence out of the bits and pieces that he's been given (plus Settle, Fatukasi, and Mario Edwards have 5 sacks between them). OL definitely needs to improve somewhere. Green has struggled but this is essentially just year 2 for him and he absolutely mauled the Colts interior in week 1, so it might be a little premature to pull the plug A RB complement for Mixon, and LB are sleepers
Packers might need DT more than anticipated. Kenny Clark does not look the same, and I could see them trading him in the offseason for a mid round pick.
LT, C, RB(day 3), LB, Edge and DL is underrated. Im not sold on LVN, never have been. Preston probably has 1 more year after this, Gary isn’t elite, but he’s good. I’d like one more good edge, and yea a big boy upfront to replace clark whenever.
Eagles needs are edge, outside linebacker, pass rusher /s In all seriousness, I don't think CB/S/LB are big concerns atm. Kelee Ringo will get a shot at corner once Slay is gone, Sydney Brown could take CJGJ's job next year (or even this year), Zack Baun has been shockingly good as a LB and Dean has impressed in spite of some screw-ups. IMO the Eagles 3 biggest needs are EDGE, TE and RT. Lane is not gonna play past 35, most likely; Goedert could play himself into another contract, but our TE room beyond him is super underwhelming. And obviously we need edge players desperately. Huff hasn't done shit, Nolan hasn't proven shit, BG is old as shit, and Sweat is running out of time to get his shit together. Even if Nolan, Huff, and Sweat all play well at the end of the year, BG will be gone and our edge room would be 4 guys. Howie will not be happy until we are 3 deep at both ends - pause - and this is such a phenomenal edge class that it wouldn't make sense not to take a guy first round Also; my bold prediction for them is a RB on day 2. Gainwell is gone after this year, and Shipley is a small back who is mostly used as eyecandy rn. Saquon has been a legit revelation for this team, and I wouldn't be surprised if howie values RBs a little more highly now, and maybe wouldn't pass up on a generational RB class. I think a big RB would be a nice addition even while they still have one more year of Saquon taking the majority of reps
@@marinasands4319 we don’t play a 3-4? Our base is technically a 5-2. It’s different than a 3-4 because in the 5-2, it’s 5 down linemen. 3-4 will have an edge standing up, and much more likely to rush, while the other is in coverage.
@@Phogadacbiet We don't have DE's to play a 5-2. Last game we played 3-4 with two OLB's up and one or two dropping on pass plays. First two games we played a 2-4 nickel 70% of the time
Just call it edge if u wanna call it OLB or DE doesnt matter but with sweat and graham being our top two guys (dont talk to me about huff) yeah we need help there...also OT for Lane Johnson...i guess also TE but not taking that in the first round
Bills fan's opinion on need at every position: QB: No need RB/FB: No Need WR: 3rd option depending on Mack Hollins resigning TE: No need OT: No need IOL: Maybe a true center Edge: Need long term Von Miller replacement DI: Need long term DaQuan Jones replacement LB: Injury inselation/planning for the future CB: 2nd outside corner depending on Rasul Douglas resigning S: Need more upside/planning for the future K: Legit Need P: No need I would say that right now, DI, Edge, and Saftey are the teams biggest needs
The Deshaun Watson experiment is over. Dude’sfall off from 2023 let alone 2020 is insane. Just proves the importance of being able to process pre snap. Also fun fact the OL has been on the decline since 2022 however now with Dorsey coming in to restore Watson we’ve been playing more 5 man protection with a hesitant QB. Not great results. Anyway… Browns need QB, WR(dynamic), OL(LT especially), and SaF
New Orleans Saints NEEDS: RT, OG, S, WR, DE, DT, RB The Saints need an upgrade on the OL at RT and at OG. Penning is not the answer, and Lucas Patrick (while productive) is a more ideal backup swing vet. The Saints need the future at safety as Tyrann Mathieu is aging, and Jordan Howden is inconsistent. A safety that can guard TEs would be perfect. The Saints need a big bodied WR. A.T. Perry is not consistent, and Bub Means needs time. DE Cameron Jordan will retire after next year, so the future at early-down DE is needed. A big DE... NOT an edge rrusher. DEs Chase Young and Peyton Turner will be FAs. The Saints struggle vs the run, and none of their DTs are particularly good at it. 6th round pick DT Boyd needs time, and pass rush stud Bryan Bresee has progressed vs the run too slowly. Finally, RB Alvin Kamara is on the shorter end of his career, Jamaal Williams isn't ideal in this system, and Kendre Miller can't stay healthy. RB is a really big need.
@JKJK-lw8rm I worry about Walker's inconsistencies, though he is a monster. Deone reminds me of other DT/DEs whose "potential" outweighed his production. If we're picking in the bottom half of the 1st round (or if he slips into R2), he'd be OK. I'm looking at Kenneth Grant or Walter Nolan in the 2nd round. In the 1st round, I'm hoping for OT Campbell or Jones from LSU, Ersery from Minn., or Banks from Tex. At OG, I'm looking in the 2nd round for Ratledge from Geo. or Booker (Ala) or Jackson from Ohio St. If WR Ayomanor (Stan) slips into the 3rd R, oh yeah. Any WR from Ole Miss, or Horton (Col St), Brown (Mia), or Sturdivant (UCLA) in later rounds. I'm hoping for at least one safety. Winston (Penn St) is my favorite right now, but we need youth either way. At RB, give me Sanders (SC) or Neal (KS) or Martinez (Mia) or Etienne (Geo). 👍
As a Vikings fan, I really wanted Maason Graham, but I think we might already have too many wins for that. I'll settle for an OG to replace Ed Ingram or a CB for when Stephon Gilmore leaves.
Almost definitely CB with their first pick - Gilmore and Griffin are both 30+ and on one year deals. JJs TE at Michigan, Colston Loveland, might be a wild card. Tacario Davis or Denzel Burke seem to be the most likely guys at this early stage. Then probably a RB to replace Aaron Jones - with their first comp pick at 97.
Kenyon Green has actually been the best OL for the Texans this season as bad as it sounds. Our OL play has been atrocious. Also Texans biggest needs are DT, Safety, CB depth and OL depth. I would have listed LB depth but Henry T has been playing very well this season.
Agree on safety and DT. Would throw rb ahead of the rest of your list until Pierce proves that he is capable of stepping up. Honestly, it might not matter if this class is as advertised like he did with OT this year. Say what you want about Akers, he’s on a one year deal. Dare is a st guy and mixon has mileage. We will prioritize a 4th guy. If the iol doesn’t gel during the season, I’d expect that to be prioritized via free agency. I think shaq is probably the most likely candidate for replacement.
@@randolphduke I think that'll depend on what he asks for. He's an alright run blocker and a complete liability with penalties but he might be the best pass blocker in the league
Steelers fan here. Disagree on LB: Wilson just drafted, Queen has another year in his deal, Holcomb and Elandon are still there. Definitely not a top-100 priority. WR checks out obv. QB - TBD Fields OT - TBD Broderick & Moore extension(?) My adds: CB still. undrafted Bishop on nickel, injury prone Donte Jackson & Trice opposite side of Porter. DT. Steelers were all over 2024 DT class, look up pre-draft visits. They are getting ready for life without Cam. If the rookie doesnt get much action so be it.
@@dillon22st Thanks! Operating under the general assumption that a) RB matter less b) It easily can be Warren\CPatt\4th+ round rookie Bruiser type, i am okay with this room
Bills! Primary Needs: EDGE - despite Von Miller's hot start he is 35 and a potential cap casualty next year. CB - Rasul Douglas is 31 and a pending free agent, no other veteran outside CBs iDL - DaQuan Jones is nearing retirement and Buffalo could use a long term replacement Secondary Needs: IOL - Unit is playing at a high level currently, but could bring in a high profile starter and move Edwards back to the 6th OL role WR - Incredibly deep room. All 3 starters under contract for 2025. Team doesn't have a true "1" at the position. S - Taylor Rapp and pending FA Damar Hamlin are starting. Could use a D1 starter. P.S. I absolutely love you guys' work! Keep it up.
As a Broncos fan, I would say TE is the biggest need since they have a lot of young WRs like Franklin, Vele and Mims but at same time i can see why WR could be a need. The other need i would say is off ball linebacker! Lost Josey Jewell in offseason and Singleton just tore his ACL. As for tackle it could be a need if bolles is gone but McGlinchey isn’t out for year just out for 4 weeks with MCL sprain
Re the Vikings, firstly, I think Flores will stay at least 1 more year. He has been dicked around by the league, and his family seems settled in Minnesota. The culture there is really supportive and collaborative, so ambition might take a back seat to job satisfaction and quality of life. Vikes is 100% biggest priority is CB. Griffin and Gilmore are both placeholders. They tragically lost 2024 4th round pick Khyree Jackson in a car accident, and shortly after promising 2023 3rd rounder Mekhi Blackmon had a season ending injury, so there is a real lack of depth. CB3 is Fabian Moreau another 30yo old FA on a one year deal. It wouldn't surprise me if they double dipped, or traded back and double dipped. They have 2022 4th rounder Akayleb Evans, who has the measurables, but struggled initially with Flores' system. He could bloom under the guidance of Gilmore and Griffin. They also have promising UDFA Dwight McGlothern who is also long and instinctive, but they need more youth, length and star power. RB is probably the next priority with Aaron Jones pushing 30 and on a one year deal and Kwesi could roll that over. 2022 5th rounder Ty Chandler is developing nicely but the cupboard is bare after that. It is a position that Kwesi could address in FA, but starting quality RBs are still around late on day 2 and on day 3. IDL is another possibility, but they just extended Harrison Phillips, and one year FAs Tillery and Jihad Ward have been great so far so I could see them both being extended. 2024 Oregon UDFA Taki Taimani has been a revelation at NT, and 7th rounder Levi Rodriguez, aka LDR, aka prospect X?, also flashed in preseason and looks very promising. A random player that might hit the Vikes radar is Michigan TE Colston Loveland who was QB JJ McCarthy's go to in college. Early days but he is being mocked in 20s which might be around where the Vikes pick. Loveland, Hockenson, Jefferson, Addison would be an intriguing offense...
Kenyon green - His first 2 years he might played 4 games looked ok in some. Had a lot of baby weight but lost it now I think our Gm didn’t want him out there last year in that condition so he put him on IR. Plenty left to improve on but finally this year looks like the 20 year old stud 5 star from Houston area we drafted
another need for the Steelers is RB, Najee is a UFA this offseason and Jaylen Warren is a RFA this offseason! It's unlikely the Steelers are able to keep both
Phins fan here: if tua is done, OL is a bigger priority than QB. Gotta set up the next QB for success, and I think y’all saying to take a developmental QB makes sm sense. I’d also say a nice tight end and def DT are important
Bucs: DL, need an upgrade on Vea's right side. Edge, maybe Braswell works out, but depth isn't there. IOL, Mauch's start could be better, upgrade at LG. ILB, David can't play forever. CB, Dean will be a FA.
For vikings it's definitely dt,cb,iol in that order although running back probably also a need for next year unless we lock up aaron jones but really you can just draft one on day 3 stupid to draft one high these days even the elite ones end up a dissapointment unless you force feed them 30 touches a game
Minnesota: Center or Guard is a need. I’m basing this on the roster returning. Vikings have a lot of young talent in the defensive backfield as well as defensive line.
Eagles: 1. Edge- BG is retiring, Sweat is a FA and underperforming, Huff is nonexistent and 4th in ED snaps, Nolan has been ok vs the run but hasn’t developed as a pass rusher yet 2. RT- Lane’s not getting younger/injuries piling up for him. They like both Steen & Becton at G but maybe Becton could slide out to RT 3. DT- Carter is awesome but Davis has been underwhelming, Milton is a FA Regarding LB/CB/S- Baun & Dean have been good and it would be surprising if they didn’t extend Baun. Reed & CJ has been a solid duo + Sydney Brown will be back from injury. At corner they have Ringo and Rodgers still which is probably the plan post slay as a #2 to Quinyon with DeJean at nickel.
@@MarkSmithmt9cx 100%. Meant to say TE and tbh WR3 as well. I know they hope Dotson could be that guy and we'll know more after this week, but if he continues to be non existent out there I wouldn't mind going WR on day 2.
Chiefs Needs: DE 1.) DE, IOL 2.) CB, WR, RB 3.) LB, TE, SAF 4.) DT, OT, QB DE: They need another DE opposite Karlaftis. Felix Anudike Uzamoh has been a bust and Omenihu may not be re signed IOL: Joe Thuney has $34M cap hit coming so he’ll be cut and Trey Smith is a free agent. I expect Smith to be signed above $20APY CB: KC’s 4 man corner rotation are all from the 2022 draft. McDuffie is a stud, Watson is a low tier CB2, Williams has been inconsistent and Johnson has been a special teams guy coming off injury. The last 3 have 1 more year left with KC. Veach loves drafting CB’s so I wouldn’t be surprised if he drafts one with his first 3 picks. RB: 2nd year in a row Pacheco is missing significant time. He suffered the same lower leg injury Clyde Edwards Helaire had the year prior to Pacheco replacing him as a 7th Rd pick. CEH has never been the same. UDFA’s and 30 year old RB’s will only get you so far. WR: They should keep drafting receivers in the first 2 days. The WR market is crazy expensive. These rookies come in every year with more and more talent. As long as the guy is 6 feet + and can catch 20 yards down field sign me up. Justin Watson is a free agent after this year and he’s the biggest WR at 6’2 215. Rashee Rice 6’0 205 will be suspended to start the year for 6+ games so they will need a bigger body to win downfield. LB, TE, SAF: Bolton is a free agent whom I desperately what them to retain at the right price. A lot of LB’s fizzle out of this Chiefs defensive scheme so they have find the right guy if it isn’t Bolton. I’d be surprised if they picked a TE in any round as they just drafted Jared Wiley, extended Noah Gray to a 3 year deal, and Kelce is still on the team for now. SAF: Veach and Spags love long fast DB’s that can play mulitiple positions in the defensive back field. Defensive Tackle isn’t a dire need at all. I fully expect Veach to resign Tershawn Wharton to a year deal at minimum. It’s his 2nd year coming off an ACL injury. He looks really good to start the season. KC should look to the 2026 draft for the marquee DT, but I fully expect a giant 2 gapper to be drafted. OT: isn’t a need in the 2025 draft. They have a nice rotation going with Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris. It’s simple that one of them will be the full time starter this year at Left Tackle and the other will be the swing until they replace Juwaan Taylor at Right Tackle. QB: Carson Wentz, Andy Dalton, Jacoby Brissett, Jameis Winston. Q
For Eagles biggest needs are edge or OT...Lane Johnson is getting up in age and we love drafting a guy to study under him...and Brandon Graham has been our best DE and he is 35...maybe bryce huff gets better but even if he does u need to replace sweat who is on a 1 year deal
Vikings needs: Tier 1 (big need) - RB, CB, and safety. 5/6 of the DBs the Vikings play a lot of free agents. Tier 2 (need more talent) - DT Tier 3 (would be nice) - G, LB
Kwesi's stated principles are drafting high value positions i.e. QB, WR, OT, Edge, CB and succession planning - so getting young guys to replace old guys. He fills the other roles in FA where you get more value at a lower cost. Kwesi and Brzezinski are pretty smart so I don't think they made a mistake, and the Vikes will probably have two 3rd round comp picks So when you look at that vs the current roster: 1st round - almost certainly CB, unless someone really high on their board falls ridiculously like Turner last year. (Flores likes long outside CBs like Khyree and McGlothern). They might even trade back and double down at CB. Pick 97 - RB or DT or OC Pick 99 - RB or DT or OC 5th round - best talent left - maybe TE, Safety, another CB or RB, IOL project, WR4 7th round - their favourite UDFA.
Bears top need is easily offensive line. Need to take a tackle with that 1st rounder, non negotiable imo. Almost impossible to find tackles later in the rounds
If they spent their first 5 draft picks in Oline I wouldn't be fazed. I'm not a Bears fan nor care much for them, but I have watched 2 of their 3 games this season and they are so incompetent at blocking that it's almost comedic.
Giants fan here. For the offense (aside from QB), we definitely need a WR2 opposite Nabers. Slayton just isn't good enough and Hyatt is a bust. Robinson is decent but he's limited to the slot. Would be nice to get a right tackle to develop behind Eluemunor, but getting a guard is a higher priority. Greg Van Roten is OK compared to our previous offensive linemen but that's not saying much. We don't have any starting caliber TEs right now but you probably have to give Theo Johnson one more year to develop before seriously addressing the position. I would also like to see a running back be brought in. Singletary is average and has a fumbling problem, and Tyrone Tracy is all potential no production right now. I'd like to see them bring in a bruising RB to pound it up the middle. Defensively, CB1 is the biggest need. Deonte Banks is always on his man in coverage, but has horrible ball skills and has been getting toasted this year. He's not good enough to cover WR1s and is getting close to bust territory considering he was a first round pick. Second biggest need is depth behind Dexter Lawrence. Maybe Elijah Chatman can become a solid DT, but he's an undrafted guy so I wouldn't count on it. One position not being talked about enough for the Giants is EDGE. Burns hasn't lived up to the contract so far, but Kayvon Thibodeaux has been even worse. He has all the physical tools but just isn't a good pass rusher and gives up the edge too often in the run game. No chance he gets his 5th year option picked up and it wouldn't surprise me to see him get traded if the Giants can get decent value. A 3rd rounder would be enough, in my opinion. We also have Azeez Ojulari who shows flashes of being a great pass rusher but is just too inconsistent, injury prone, and is in the final year of his contract. That said, he's still a much better pass rusher than Thibodeaux.
As a Bronco fan I only disagree with DT out of what you guys came up with this is the best IDL unit we’ve had in years(doesn’t say much but still), but considering the TE class and the constant rotation of old TE’s since Payton got here (Dulcich hasn’t done much since his first injury in the NFL also was drafted when we had Hackett) it feels like the biggest need because obviously we need more pass catchers and it helps in that department plus the clear emphasis on play action and the short game plus the iffy at best Oline play TE helps in all those departments but god yes a consistent WR that can separate would raise my spirits every week magnitudes. Sneaky need is MLB with Singleton tearing his ACL even though he somehow played a whole game on it, Barton being Cody Barton and Josey Jewell the staple at the position for the last half decade or so being gone last offseason and Drew Sanders injuries as well
Top need for the Colts is certainly CB, but I think they’re hoping Tannor Bortilinni who they drafted last year becomes the successor to Kelly at C. TE is also definitely a need but a blue chip S or DL depth would supersede TE. Both Buckner and Grover are not getting younger and they struggle mightily when one of them is out
Biggest Giants need are CB2, and a 3 tech. Shoen and Daboll aren't going anywhere, and I'm good with extending Elumenor if he keeps this level of play up. If we extend Elumenor, we start working Neal out at Guard to take over for GVR. Not inspired by this QB class, so if DJ's not the guy I'm for moving back in round one for more assets to move up in 26, and taking a really solid CB or 3 Tech late round one/early round 2.
as a giants fan, NEED a cornerback. you can get away with DJ and riding the contract out hoping for a better qb next year since this class is so weak, but a guy like Will Johnson or Benjamin Morrison would save this team.
Eagles Fan take: We need EDGE, no ifs or buts about it. Second is DB whatever way you look at it. Cooper DeJean isn't seeing meaningful snaps and we still need to replace Maddox and get some safety depth. Reed is the man and I'm more confident in him than C.J. NFL needs to put some respect on that tall glass of milk! everyone says LB but as soon as they leave they become long time starters and ball out elsewhere. If Vic Fangio is happy I say stick with Dean and Baun and maybe draft one in later rounds who can fit his scheme. I'd also take a WR3 with elite speed because we are missing a deep threat to stretch the field.
Packers actual needs are OT, DT, LB and CB but Gute is obsessed with our corner room, we took kalen king in the 7th but he’s gone. We signed Nixon to a longer deal to be our slot CB, Gute really believes in Stokes. Could see him spending like some day 3 picks there but not day 1/2. Also obsessed with Quay and McDuffie so I doubt we spend a single pick there. Tackle I see Gute targeting it, Morgan is definitely a guard for us and lastly I think Gute goes big at DT/DL
Colts: drafted Bortellini to take over C. Ballard can draft good LB in low rounds CB and Safety talent and depth is a need True TE1 is also a big need.
People will understandably point out the obvious needs and corresponding shortcomings for the Steelers (O-line depth, a good starting corner opposite Joey Porter, a real nose tackle) But I’d like to point out the fact that this teams main issue is scoring points and assuming we won’t be in a position to select a franchise caliber quarterback (and Justin fields isn’t secretly the guy) this team DESPERATELY needs a true #1 wide receiver and literally any bell cow back that isn’t Najee Harris. These are controversial opinions, I know, but the stats don’t lie. Najee has been a total disappointment as a first round pick-he lacks the contact balance and power that you’d want out of an every down back and outside of flashes his rookie year he straight up sucks at making people miss. He isn’t a quarter of the offensive weapon that Leveon Bell was. Jaylen Warren crumbles physically with even minor usage-he’ll forever be an elite change of pace guy. And George Pickens? He runs 2-3 routes really, really well and can make contested catches that make you believe in a god but he does not separate/stem routes well and is frequently quitting on plays where he figures he won’t get the ball. Hes not ‘the guy’ people think he is. This team needs davante Adams so, so bad.
I'm curious whether you guys think Riley Leonard and/or Jalon Daniels will switch positions for the draft because I'm pretty confident neither is an NFL QB
Bears needs in order Center Guard DE 3tech 3-A Running back 3-B Nose tackle Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright are still on good contracts and when healthy playing league average If a tackle falls to us, yeah draft him
For New England I just want Campbell or Banks in the first, either a cb2 opposite of Gonzo, an edge 2 opposite as Keion White or Tre Harris or Barrion Brown to help Maye out
Yes, you could throw tight end in there too Bears have a couple second round picks along with the first round picks and probably 2 to 3/3 round picks They can get a lot done. I think Ryan did a good job building the team when he built positions. I would not have thrown so much money as swift or Edmond. Ed is playing good.
Jets have a lot of potential needs. TE, WR, QB, DT, CB, and S are all up in the air, but I would strongly consider OT. Solidifying the OL for the next 5 years would give them a foundation to rebuild post-Rodgers.
Mailbag questions (dealer's choice): - Is Will Campbell going to get the Peter Skoronski treatment (i.e. dominant OT shifted to iOL because of short arms)? If so, how does Campbell's game project inside? - Considering this is likely going to be a developmental QB class, if Carolina picks #1 again, should they use that pick to draft a QB to develop or should they go BPA and then draft a QB on Day 2? - Will this year's RB class set the record for most RBs taken in the first 2 rounds since 2000, surpassing 2008 where there were 9? Prospects to get added to PFF Big Board: - EDGE David Walker (Central Arkansas) - SR, 6'2" 260, 1250+ snaps and a >88 overall PFF grade each season over the last 3 seasons (including a 76.1 against Ole Miss in 2022, a 76.1 against Oklahoma State in 2023, and an 88.8 against Arkansas State this year), high pass rush productivity over last 3 years (13.1 in 2022, 8.5 in 2023, 12.6 so far this year), likely Senior Bowl invitee, 3-time Feldman Freak with a projected sub-4.6 40yd dash - iDL Jordan Burch (Oregon) - SR, 6'6" 295, transfer from South Carolina, >68 PFF grade over the last 4 seasons, top 10 overall recruit in class of 2020, already 14 pressures thru 3 games this season, 2-time top-10 Feldman Freak - LB Jacob Dobbs (James Madison) - Rs SR, 6'0" 233 with a 77in wingspan, transfer from Holy Cross, majoring in Cyber Intelligence, over 2300 snaps played and over 260 tackles made in his career so far, elite PFF grades over the last several seasons (71.1 in 2019, 82.4 in 2020, 91.6 in 2021, 70.7 in 2022, 92.2 in 2023, 69.6 so far in 2024), and a 3-time Feldman Freak with a 39in vertical, a 3.98 shuttle, and a projected sub-4.6 40yd dash
Colts - DT needs mentioned, especially nose. Buckner and Stewart are gonna be 31 and 32 next season. Someone is gonna need to push for one or both of those starting spots come 2026, and they can immediately come in and be better depth than what we currently have. Drew Ogletree (TE) is well liked within the org, I'm guessing he'll get a chance to see way more snaps if Granson and MAC both walk. I would have team draft needs as: CB > DT > iOL > [gap] > S > LB
Chiefs: 1. Defensive tackle, especially 1-tech. 2. Guard, to protect against both Thuney and Smith contracts 3. Linebacker unless Bolton re-signs before draft 4. Developmental backup QB
Ravens: RB: should be a consideration in a day two BPA situation, but not urgent w/ Henry+Hill on lock WR: death, taxes, and my Ravens needing better WRs. Zay is a baller but a true X to compliment his and Bateman's slot/Z proficiency would be huge. We drafted Walker this year but do you really trust us to develop him?? OT/OG: even if we generously assume Vorhees and Rosengarten pan out based on early flashes, still need a better RG and successor to Stanley EDGE: Wouldn't turn down adding a high upside rusher to the pipeline, Oweh may price himself out of Bmore S: Need a true deep S. Williams hasn't lived up to his contract and Hamilton should be playing at least 75% of his snaps from the nickel
Patriots : OT (Left), EDGE (Uche can rush the passer but he is limited to obvious passing situations), WR (They need a true X), OC (Andrews might retire), CB (another boundary corner opposite Gonzo)
Colts fan here. We need corner, linebacker, and tight end. Corner: juju Brent's can't stay healthy. Look at the Bears game this year. Jones is a serviceable cb2 but we have no depth. Linebacker: Zaire Franklin is very good but is a pass coverage linebacker. Ej Speed is bad. We are needing a new Shaq Leonard who can be the fly around the field run stuffing linebacker. 250 yards a game running week 1 and 2. Tight end: Richardson can't throw the ball to you if you're not 6 ft 6. We need a security blanket and check down for Richardson that he's never had.
Bengals needs are probably EDGE, DT, IOL, and CB kind of in order. (Also always need another WR2 to help the offence function) EDGE -Besides Hendrickson we generate no pressure or legitimate threat to rush the passer, even if Myles Murphy takes a jump, we don't have anything close to a competent rotation (Ossai truther still in denial) DT - basically the same echoed notes about the rotation, we NEED A NOSE TACKLE, our run defense has "allegedly" been bad, very bad. We miss D.J Reader's prescence really badly. They drafted McKinley Jackson, but he absolutely doesn’t stop you from hopefully grabbing a stud early on IOL - Kappa is getting up there in age and losing some movement skill and Volson isn't good enough to not pick another guard. Either drafting a guard for depth or to challenge for a starting spot would be swell. (MATT LEE IS OUR STARTING CENTRE IN 2 YEARS) CB - I like CTB but it would be beneficial to have another starting corner, especially since we just started the Dax Hill experiment at Outside Corner and DJ Turner is still growing. Depth isn't too bad, but a gamechanger or even a solid, consistent CB2 would help settle our secondary
Saints need WR help badly we have no established WR2 behind WR1 Chris Olave Also we need RB we don’t whether Alvin is gonna be gone or stay so we must prepare for the uncertain and we still don’t know what Kendre Miller is ‼️‼️
Colts: DB (depth at S, Kenny Moore replacement, lack outside CB "guy", as you said), Y-TE (lack of a "guy"), OT (Smith replacement, too many injuries) 3-down LB, RB (long-term JT competition / backup).
Biggest needs for the Cincinnati Bengals: DT(Mason Graham🤞), Edge(Outside of Hendrickson we have nothing), TE(Love All, but we haven't seen McLachlan at all and Gesicki is on a one year), OL depth, WR, and Safety(Bell is in the last year of his contract, the staff doesn't trust Battle even though us fans love him, Stone hasn't been great, Hill's now a CB, and Anthony hasn't played enough).
Bills IDL - Austin Johnson on a 1 year deal, Daquon Jones contract up after next year EDGE - Smoot and Toohill on 1 year deals, leaving Groot (extend), Epenesa (2 year deal), Miller (aging) and Javon Solomon CB - Rasul probably gone after this year, Benford up next year (should be extended), Elam up next year (not expecting the 5th year option) S - Mike Edwards and Damar Hamlin contracts up this year, leaves Taylor Rapp, Cole Bishop, and Cam Lewis. WR - MVS and Hollins contracts up after this year, leaving Shakir (please extend), Coleman, Samuel as the core
Packers: CB: Stokes and Ballentine are up, while they might be able to re-sign them on the cheap I'm not counting on it, we need more CB depth in general IOL: Myers contract up and not worth top of market $ ...that's kinda it? No more major contributor contracts expiring and the rest of the roster looks great/was addressed in 2024 draft (so some development assumed but Bullard has looked great, Cooper has been flying around, it's looking good so far)
Packers: Biggest Needs: C, DT, CB Lesser Needs: T-Depth, Edge Depth, QB: Set RB: Set WR: Set TE: Set T: Depth G: Depth C: NEED DT: NEED EDGE:Depth LB: SET CB: NEED S: SET P: SET K: Who Knows Of Note: @Tackle by all accounts the Packers are happy with Rasheed Walker at tackle, plus Jordan Morgan could always be put outside. @Edge Preston Smith is getting older but Enagbare and LVN make this not a huge need. @DT Kenny Clark is getting older and playing worse. Wyatt is looking great as a pass rusher, avg as a run stopper.
Well, the Dolphins basically need a whole starting team next year, but to simplify, here's my Top5 needs. 1. Interior OLine: Liam Eichenberg and Robert Jones are sub-par starters and they both will hit free agency next year. They didn't replace Robert Hunt's departure properly. Isaiah Wynn (who should be the starting LG) also will be a free agent and can't stay healthy even if his life depends on it; 2. Defensive Line: Calais Campbell is 38 years old and won't play forever. We also don't have a reliable nose tackle on the roster right now. Zach Sieler is our only DLinemen under contract for next season; 3. Safety: the whole unity will hit the market after this season. We hope Jevon Holland stays, but we'll enter next season as the worst group by far if he signs elsewhere. Also, Jordan Poyer and Marcus Maye aren't getting any younger; 4. backup QB: Tua has suffered at least 3 concussions since 2022, and it gets scarier everytime. He's out for at least 4 games this year, and with his injury history he probably will lose a few games next year too. With Brett Favre's recent diagnosis of Parkinson disease, we have to question how much time will Tua want to keep playing; 5. Wide Receiver: we entered Week 3 at Seattle with just Hill, Waddle, Berrios and two practice squad guys on the field. Guys like Robbie Chosen and Grant DuBose (they were the targets in Tua's first two INTs against the Bills) had playing time during the first two weeks of the season. Needless to say how badly is our situation. We probably also need a swing tackle, IOL depth and LB help.
Steelers fan here and man, our needs will depend on FA sooooo much. Since I believe in Jones, I‘m assuming that we resign Daniels, Fields and extend Pickens together with all of our defensive guys except Holcomb. Then we place a tender on Warren and either use that exact pick for a RB2 or keep him too. Now that leaves us with 2 needs WR clear and far ahead, followed by RB. Our DL room will then lack youth, while our OT together with the ILB room will lack depth. the curveball might be QB. Even if we extend Fields we still have room for one more QB and with the Steelers finding new stability with their offensive coaches all under contract for quite a while they should get a developmental guy and this class firmly screems for that. so Id say WR RB DL (and RB2) QB swing OT ILB 4 bonus: if all those extentions become too expensive AND Herbig becomes as good as Highsmith do you trade Highsmith for a developmental late 1st early 2nd round EDGE rusher?
As a Steelers fan I typically try to rank all the positions with needs High (Premium Pick investment needed)/Medium (Can go either way)/Low-Not Essential (Day 3/no pick priority). Through about a quarter into the season my opinion would be. High: WR, CB, OT, DI (start building depth for Heyward retirement), QB (if Fields doesnt work out) Medium: RB, OG, LB, QB (if Fields works out) Low/Non-Existent: C, S, TE, EDGE
COMMANDERS : Its all about J . Day after his near rookie of the year performance its build around him from here on in he is our GOAT: We need OT Both sides *NEED* / G *NEED* / Possibly future C / a true complement to Scary Terry 2nd WR. Then ALL Defense starting with a full on Secondary Rebuild and DE's
Eagles fan here! Safety's not a need: Sydney Brown has been hurt, but he flashed at the end of last year. Edge is a big need, since Brandon Graham somehow played the most snaps last week. My sneaky needs are OT and TE. Lane's getting older, and we love drafting OT. TE, meanwhile, Goedert's 29, and we drafted him around this point in Ertz's career before him. Linebacker makes sense too on Day 2; Dean has flashed some, and I like both Trotter and our developmental guy Van Sumeran, but I imagine we go for the next Zach Baun instead of resigning Zach Baun.
Falcons 1. ED: still a need. AK isn’t breaking out yet and I’m losing hope. Braden Trice could be good as a 2 or 3, but it’s a real need. 2. OT: Matthews is going to retire in a couple years probably, McGary can often be a liability in pass pro. 3. CB: Mike Hughes has been playing well, and I trust Phillips and Alford too, but some more high end play could be appreciated. 4. WR: Mooney and McCloud are playing well, with Moore out for the year but we still need more effectiveness in the passing game. Hopefully ZRob and Kirk get things working.
Broncos Fan here (OL, WR, IDL, HB, Coverage LB, S): The offensive line hasn't been great, especially when they start getting injured. Garett Bolles will sign to a shorter term contract (will be 33 in 2025). We can get out of Ben Powers' contract in 2025 and Mike McGlinchey's contract in 2026. When Sutton eventually leaves, we won't have a true WR1. The run game has been atrocious of recent memory. Javonte is a free agent in 2025. If we have the option of drafting a stud like Ashton Jeanty, Quinshon Judkins, Omarion Hampton, or Ollie Gordon II, I wouldn't hate that. Zach Allen has been great (2026 UFA), but we need someone to pair up with him incase we opt out of John Franklin-Myers contract. MUST resign Jonathon Cooper (Baron Browning has been plagued with injuries), if not, EDGE depth would be necessary. The linebacker position hasn't been healthy in several years. We could also us a stud to pair up with Brandon Jones. Watch the show every week! Appreciate the content!
