This is the way I see it:
We need help in many positions, but our biggest needs are at Linebacker, DT and Corner. The only top flight corner in the Free Agent Market is Asante Samuels. Realistically, with his contract demands, we will most likely not sign him and pay that much, which means that we will be forced to sign some bottom tier corners.
Here's where it gets interesting. I believe there are more good DT's in Free Agency than Linebackers and we will sign at least 1 good DT, which leaves LB and Corner. If we don't sign a top flight LB, I believe our #10 pick will be LB Keith Rivers from USC. If we can address the LB position through Free Agency, this will allow us to pick the best corner available. Of course that's if Dorsey and Ellis are gone at 10. If either one is there, we will definately pick on of them.
Unless we use our 10th pick on a corner, we will give up tons of passing yards again next year, so in my opinion, we have to address DT and LB in Free Agency to ensure this happens. Again, this is only my opinion. What do you think? Am I way off?
Ps: What I'd really like to see is us trade for Lito Sheppard, sign at least one good Linebacker and DT in Free Agency, then use the #10 on the best at those 3 positions.
