Re: **Assuming The Stallworth Deal gets done..**
Broadly speaking, they need speed and youth on defense. In terms of particular positions:
*LB is still the biggest need. The starting 4 look good, though I question whether Bruschi will be an every down player this year. I'd really like to see them add Donnie Edwards, if the price was right. Seems like he would be a perfect candidate to come in for Bruschi on third downs. They definitely could use a draft pick here though, regardless of whether we sign another free agent. These guys just aren't getting any younger.
*Safety is a big need as well. Sanders might be a viable starter, but we are looking at a pretty big hole at FS, IMO.
*Cornerback would be nice to address, but it becomes very important if losing Asante seems likely. Personally, I hope they can lock him up long term. It would not go over too well to go on a big free agent splurge and then not even take care of your own guy. The Clements signing might have made that impossible though.
*I'd like to see a running back drafted in the middle rounds.
As always, though, it comes down to what the value is at the pick.
