NEEDS:
NT: Allen was a stud as a rookie but they need a true run stuffing nose to anchor the 3-4. defense that Manusky runs. Luckily, they are in prime position to get Vita Vea or De'ron Payne at #13.
Interior O-Line: The trenches on the other side of the ball can use some upgrades as well.
OLB: Both McPhee and Smith are free agents after the season and Kerrigan isn't getting any younger.

NEEDS:
CB: They let their best DB (Morgan Burnett) walk in free agency and have only one other impact starter at DB (Haha Clinton Dix). It would be a major surprise if they didn't draft Denzel Ward or Josh Jackson if either is there at #14.
Interior O-Line: In Bakhtiari and Bulaga they have arguably the best OT duo in the league, however the inside of the line needs help especially the guards.
WR: They released Jordy Nelson and Cobb may be gone after this season.
RB: Are they sold on any of the 3 RB's they have?

WR: Chad Williams-2017 3rd RD
NEEDS:
QB: Bradford is the current starter, he's a solid game manager at this point in his career but they need a young franchise QB. They will likely need to trade into the top 5 to get an elite prospect, otherwise the best they will get is Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph. It may be smarter to draft a QB in the second round.
O-Line: The injury bug has plagued this line for the past few seasons, adding Pugh was a major talent upgrade but he too has injury issues.
Young WR: This may be Fitzgerald's last season in a Hall of Fame career.
DB: Peterson is a star but they need more talent surrounding him on the back end.

NEEDS:
O-Line: This was the worst line in football in 2017. They only added Fulton, Henderson and Kelmete in free agency so they will likely struggle again. They can hope an offensive lineman with first round talent slips to them at #66.
DB Depth: The Texans are lucky this is a deep draft at DB, they can draft a guy in the 3rd that can come in and play right away.
TE: Griffin is much better as a backup
LB Depth: There's no guarnatee they will have the money to keep McKinney if they give Clowney a big extension.
