RT: James Hurst-Unproven
RB: 
Terrance West-Below Average 
Buck Allen-Young/2015 4th RD

NEEDS: 
WR: Mike Wallace had a nice year and really clicked with Joe Flacco. However, Breshad Perriman hasn't lived up to a first round pick and they need a true #1 WR. 
Pass Rusher: They need to add a young pass rusher to the mix. Suggs is still good, but is now 34. They let go of Elvis Dumervil to save money. 
D-Line: Williams is a beast in the middle yet the other two DE spots are up for grabs between unproven players. 
RB: They can't believe that West is the long term answer here

RB:

NEEDS: 
OLB/Pass Rusher: Mathis, Sheard and Simon are upgrades over the previous starter yet neither is an elite pass rusher
RB:  Another year, another 1000 yard season for future Hall of Fame RB Frank Gore. He's still good but he turns 34 in May. It's time to have an heir apparent. 
O-Line Depth: They have three good staters in Castonzo, Kelly and Mewhort, they can use competition and depth on the right side.

Power/Goalline: Matt Jones-Young/2015 3rd RD/Average
Scat: Chris Thompson-Average

NEEDS: 
D-Line:  Chris Baker was the only reliable starter on the defensive line and they let him leave via free agency. They were horrible against both the run and the pass.  Expect them to use two early round picks here.
FS: Hall is never healthy and is not an impact player when he does play. Budda Baker would be a great fit and a steal in the second round
QB: This becomes the #1 need if they due indeed trade Cousins

RB: 
Doug Martin-Suspended to start the 2017 season 
Charles Sims-Good in role 
Jaquizz Rodgers-Average

NEEDS: 
FS:  In a division with Cam Newton, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees you need to have safeties that can cover. Wilcox and Tandy are solid but they need another guy with better range. 
Edge Pass Rusher: Last year, they added Ayers via free agency and Spence via draft, however those two only combined for 12 sacks 
O-Line: Marpet looks like the real deal inside but Smith has struggled in his first two seasons.

Devonta Booker-Young/2016 4th RD

NEEDS:  
LT:  The Broncos signed Ronald Leary and Menelik Watson in hopes that they have their starters set on the right side of the line but they need a blindside protector in the worst way. 
D-Line Depth: Wolfe is the only proven quality starter on the D-Line
#3 Pass Catcher: Both Virgil Green and Cody Latimer have been major disappointments. They need a pass catching TE or #3 WR to take the pressure off of Thomas and Sanders.
