One position where folks see great value is at DT.
I suppose a RB might contribute this year.
4- Guard or Tackle (If we are going to go with a rotation on the OL again, maybe a rookie can come in and compete and at the least, push Cannon and Kline off this team
As an aside, I saw a report that Scar has been scouting at least one center.
Wow! Wonder if stork is having health problems.

DT, RB, CB, perhaps OT or OG, perhaps DE.
1. DT - big opportunity for a rookie to be part of a rotation with Brown, Branch and Easley
2. RB - Lewis recovering, White not much of a runner, Brown still new; a rookie can steal a starting role even if Blount returns
3. CB - Butler and Ryan are top 2 but a strong CB can grab the third CB role in a competition with Coleman & Roberts
4. OT/OG - Solder & Vollmer starters, rookie can take the swing tackle role from Cannon or Waddle (and allow team to dump Cannon); at OG, Jackson is recovering and Cooper is new, perhaps a rookie could beat them and Kline out for a starting spot, or at least provide solid depth
5. DE - Sheard and Nink are starting but Nink is getting a bit older, Long is new and coming off some down years, and Flowers/Johnson/Grissom have yet to produce at this level; a rookie could become the fourth or possibly even third guy, perhaps
