RB:
TJ Yeldon-Young/2015 2nd RD
Chris IvoryAverage/New
NEEDS:
Multiple LB's: WLB Telvin Smith has a lot of promise. Posluszny was the best player on the roster from 2011-2013 but he's past his prime, Skuta is better served as a pass rush specialist. A young MLB and SLB are needed.
CB: Amukamara and House are good but Gus Bradley will want top add another physical press corner in the draft.
Pass Rusher: With the #3 pick last year they drafted Dante Fowler. He is expected to be the pass rusher of the future but there's no guarantees.
O-Line Depth: They signed Beachum, but the jury is still out on the #2 pick in the 2013 draft, Luke Joeckel. Maybe it's time to move him to RT. They are considering moving Linder to Center if they don't draft one. Expect another interior lineman to be selected in the later rounds.

Justin Forsett-Average
NEEDS:
CB: In a division with AJ Green and Antonio Brown having a good #1 CB is vital. Smith and Webb are solid but they could use a true shutdown corner. This would allow them to move Webb to slot corner.
Pass Rusher: Suggs and Dumervil can still get to the QB but both are over 30 and Suggs is coming off of a major injury. They need to add a young pass rusher to the mix.
D-Line: Williams is a beast in the middle. They have some young talents in Jernigan and Davis but if they keep the #6 pick there is a good chance that either Joey Bosa or DeForest Buckner will slip to them.
O-Line Depth: Monroe has a history of injury issues and Urschel is unproven. Ronnie Stanley could be an intriguing option at #6.

Andre Williams-Young/2014 4th RD
NEEDS:
Multiple LB's: They have the worst LB core in the league and it isn't even close. They need to add a play maker in the first or second round. Then take another late in the draft.
O-Line: The G-Men need more bodies to keep the pressure off of Eli. Flowers really struggles as a rookie at LT. The right side is terrible so upgrades are needed.
FS: Landon Collins is better suited to play in the box. They need to find a rangy FS in the second or third round.
#2 WR: It's scary to think that Beckham could be better if he wasn't double teamed every play.
TE: Is Larry Donnell really the answer here?

NEEDS:
Multiple LB's: They have the worst LB core in the league and it isn't even close. They need to add a play maker in the first or second round. Then take another late in the draft.
O-Line: The G-Men need more bodies to keep the pressure off of Eli. Flowers really struggles as a rookie at LT. The right side is terrible so upgrades are needed.
FS: Landon Collins is better suited to play in the box. They need to find a rangy FS in the second or third round.
#2 WR: It's scary to think that Beckham could be better if he wasn't double teamed every play.
TE: Is Larry Donnell really the answer here?
#3 CB
