NEEDS:
O-Line: Brown was a great acquisition and Pocic was solid as a rookie. However, this is still one of the worst lines in the NFL.
DB Depth: The Legion of Boom was once the strength of this team.. Now they have major question marks after the release of Richard Sherman and the heath of both Thomas and Chancellor.
RB: The Carson/Prosise duo does not inspire much hope right now
TE: Is Dickson really the long term answer at TE?

NEEDS:
EDGE Pass Rusher: Buckner is a stud and Thomas showed flashes as a rookie but they need a true Edge pass rusher to complement those guys. Like the Bears they can stay put and take Tremaine Edmunds or Marcus Davenport.
Impact DB: Even with Sherman they still have a lot of questions in the secondary
Big Red Zone WR: Garcon is sure handed receiver and great veteran presence in the locker room. Goodwin and Taylor are good in their roles but they need a big target.
LB: They need more speed at the position

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.
