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.

DEFENSIVE BACKS
CB: Richard Sherman-Former All Pro, still near Elite
SS: Jaquiski Tartt-Good when healthy-85.8
CB: Ahkello Witherspoon-2017 3rd RD-Good-81.1
FS: Adrian Colbert-2017 7th RD-Solid as a rookie-77.6

HB: Jerick McKinnon (NEW) Good-991/5/51 rec
WR: Pierre Garcon-Good-Injured in 2016

FB: Kyle Juszczyk-Good-75.2
TE: George Kittle-2017 5th RD-43/515/2
Slot WR: Trent Taylor-2017 5th RD-43/430/2
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
