NEEDS:

DT: The Fairley signing was a good step but they clearly need another starting DT,
O-Line Depth: Keeping Brees upright is always a top priority.

RB:

NEEDS:

C/OG: They had the worst guard duo in the NFL last year
LB Depth: They need more athletes here
Speed/scat RB: Ajayi has nice size but he can't carry the load alone
Young Pass Rusher: They have two good pass rushers in Cameron Wake and Mario Williams. However Wake is 34 and Williams is 31

RT: Manelik Watson-Good
RB:
Latavius Murray-Average
NEEDS:
Safety: The Raiders were smart to sign Nelson, but they need another starter.
DT: Mack may be the best pass rusher in the league, but he needs more help from the interior D-Line in getting to the opposing QB. They should try to get a 3 tech in order to move Williams back to NT.
MLB Upgrade
Power RB: Murray was solid as the feature back but they should add a power back somewhere in rounds 4-6
Big WR: Cooper and Crabtree are great but both are under 6-1.

RT: Byron Bell-Below Average
C/G: Ben Jones-Average
RB:
Demarco Murray-Elite/New
FB: Jalston Fowler-Young/2015 4th RD
NEEDS:
O-Line: They must protect franchise QB Marcus Mariota. Lewan and Warmack are good but the rest of the line needs work. They may want to draft a LT and move Lewan to RT.
CB: The current group is made up of several guys that would be #3 corners on most teams.
OLB/Pass Rusher: Casey is the best pass rusher on the team. They need a young player to generate a better pass rush from the outside.
ILB Depth: With all those picks, don't be surprised if the Titans take a risk and draft Jaylon Smith, It could pay off huge in the long run.

LG: Laken TomlinsonYoung/2015 1st RD
C: Travis Swanson-Young/2014 3rd RD
RG: Larry Warford-Very Good
RT: Michael Ola-Average
OT/G: Geoff Schwartz-Good/New, will compete for a starting job at G or RT
RB:
Ameer Abdullah-Young/2015 2nd RD/showed very few flashes as a rookie
3rd down: Theo Riddick-Good in role
NEEDS:
LT: Reiff is solid but would be better at RT. They could then move Ola and Schwartz inside or use them as rotational tackles
D-Line Depth: Ansah is a beast, but Ngata,Walker and Taylor are average at best.
WR: Tate is good but he can't replace the loss of Calvin Johnson
DB Depth: Slay had a breakout year and proved he is one of the best corners in the league. Diggs was a pleasant surprise as a rookie and Quin is a reliable starter. However they have unproven guys at SS and CB.
