Top draft needs for this team:
1) Corner - Jaire is AMAZING...after that the cupboard is empty, team might be forced to start Chandon Sullivan at corner with, as of now, Redmond being the nickel corner? That's, uh, frankly terrible.
2) Dline - Packers have one elite pass rusher in Z, an up-and-coming pass rusher in Gary, and Clark is an elite NT which means he pushes the pocket but I wouldn't call him an elite pass rusher. As we all saw against the Bucs, there was very little interior pass rush and that needs to change. Not saying the team needs an Aaron Donald (though it would be nice), just a DE that can put pressure inside while Smith and Gary rush from the ends (yes, I know Z also rushes from the interior but it's on stunts pretty often and that's generally not as reliable).
3) LB - a decent ILB that can cover would be nice but the ILB position is not the same level of impact on a defense that corner or dline is.
4) WR - MVS and Lazard have lessened this a bit but I do think it's still a need; an elite offense can always stress a defense with more receivers (imagine how nice it might have been to force either of the Bucs ILBs to cover Tee Higgins or Michael Pittman last weekend).
What really ****** me off is that we didn't address a single one of these positions until the 5th Round. I get it, this roster was good enough to make it back to the NFCCG. But that was all it was good enough to do apparently. I hate going down the "what if" route, but a Day 1 or Day 2 pick at any of these positions and....what if?
