NEEDS:
Impact DB: This Is arguably the worst secondary in the NFL. They would be wise to spend two of their top four picks here.
Pass Catching TE or WR: Olsen is still good but may never regain his All Pro form. Funchess showed a lot of improvement but the fact that McCaffery led the team in receptions tells us that they need a #1 WR.
Power RB: They need a bigger back to help out McCaffery
O-Line: The loss of Andrew Norwell is going to hurt considering they only have one capable starting guard on the roster.
Young DE/Pass Rusher: Peppers and Addison are both in their thirties.
