I agree with the big three needs.Yeah, it's more than three, but I think if they were to solve (meaning just getting a guy who belongs in the spot) a QB, WR, and LT, I think their other holes are more in line with what every team has to contend with. Now that doesn't mean they're suddenly as GOOD as most other teams, because those are three big positions and they're likely to be rookies, but if our big holes are ILB and a 3rd boundary corner, I'd say most teams have something equivalent to that.
I'm not sure I agree that TE is a hole, so much as they need depth bodies there. That kind of thing can be sorted out without premium assets. They already have Henry and Hooper.
I'd also say kicker, while in need of an upgrade, is another one where I'd expect a low level signing after the draft. Either an UDFA or a journeyman vet to compete with Ryland (who's a total crapshoot at this point).
Also, our 3d RB is Gibson now. Though I agree they need another back to spell Stevenson.
Again, nothing real big, other than QB, LT, WR, which obviously are huge holes and not a gimme to fix in one draft by any stretch.
The rest can be classified as much less of importance, but do need to be addressed at some point... Draft, sfa signings, trades, whatever... But those positions need depth / competition for the incumbents...
I put TE below K for a reason... Ordered list of how I rank our needs, done with the understanding that not all will agree with my assessment
