RB:
Devonta Freeman-Good/Breakout year in 2015/Young/2014 4th RD
Tevin Coleman-Young/2015 3rd RD
NEEDS:
MLB and WLB: Quinn wants fast stud backers similar to what he coached in Seattle
Pass Rusher: They drafted Vic Beasley last year, now they need another guy across from him
DB Depth: Trufant is a stud, but the rest of the secondary is either average or unproven.
TE: Matt Ryan still misses Tony Gonzalez, time to find a young option at TE.
#2 WR: Jones may be the best WR in football but neither Hardy nor Sanu has proven to be a true second option

RB:
Frank Gore-Average
NEEDS:
O-Line: Castonzo is good and Mewhort is solid. They need to protect Luck. They need upgrades at all 3 interior spots. At #18 they may take an OT and move Mewhort inside
OLB/Pass Rusher: Mathis, Cole and Walden combined for only 13 sacks in 2015 and all 3 guys are 30 or older.
RB: Gore is still good for at least 12 carries a game, but they need a young back for the future.

RB:
LaSean McCoy-Good when healthy
Karlos Williams-Young/2015 5th RD
NEEDS:
Edge Pass Rusher: Mario Williams was unhappy with Ryan and left for Miami this off season. Jerry Hughes had a down year in 2015 and they have no other proven pass rushers.
ILB: They have some solid players but no true play maker.
Big WR: Watkins is a legit #1 option when healthy but they still need a big red zone threat. Woods would be better as a #3 option.
RT: Neither Henderson nor Kouandjio has proven to be an elite RT
QB: Is Tyrod Taylor the answer?

RB:
Matt Forte-Once Elite now Good/new
Bilal Powel-Average
NEEDS:
QB: Fitzpatrick was good last year but he is still unsigned and is not the long tern answer. They need a young signal caller.
Pass Rusher: If the Jets can generate pressure from the outside then they have a chance to be the best defense in the NFL.
O-Line: They need a major upgrade at RT and newly acquired LT Ryan Clady has a had a history of injury problems. Mangold is no longer a stud and Winters is average.
ILB: There is always a need LB's that can cover TE's with Rob Gronkowski, Charles Clay and Jordan Cameron in the same division.

RT: Morgan Moses-Good/Young/2014 3rd RD
RB:
Matt Jones-Young/2015 3rd RD
NEEDS:
D-Line: They were horrible against both the run and the pass. Chris Baker is the only reliable starter on the defensive line. Expect them to use two early round picks here.
ILBs: Need LB's that can cover TE's
Big WR: Garcon, Jackson and Crowder are all good but all of them are just under 6 feet tall.
Speed RB: Matt Jones showed flashes as a rookie. At 6-1/231, he is the perfect early down power back, however a fast change of pace guy is needed by passing downs.
DB Depth: Culliver has been a disappointment and Hall is no longer an impact player.

RT: Derek Newton-Average
RB:
Lamar Miller-Good/New
Alfred Blue-Young/2014 6th RD
NEEDS:
DT: JJ Watt faces double and sometimes triple teams on every play because no one else on the line scares an offense. Wilfork is still a solid nose tackle, but he can only play limited snaps. They need to draft a DT very early
#2 WR: Hopkins is an emerging star, however he's the only consistent threat .
TE: See above
C/G Depth: The young interior of the line needs some competition, expect a mid round pick to be used to address this.
