Everybody may not agree on the order, but I think most of us will agree that our four biggest needs are:
OT
QB
DT/DE
LB
I've said that I want a Tackle in the 1st round, but after yesterdays game, I'm to the point where I'll be pretty pissed if we draft anything else. We need a QB, but it would be silly to stick a QB behind this line, and expect any different results than we've seen in recent years. We'll ruin that QB just like we ruined JP and Trent. If we are going to "blow it up" in the off-season, and get a new GM and coaching staff, we'll be rebuilding the team as well. That starts with the OLine (unless a Peyton-like QB is available, which isn't the case).
Regarding the defense, I don't think that is as pressing of a need. Even with all the injuries, our defense is still playing well. We just held Tom Brady to his worst game in years (11/23, 115 yards). Our run-defense was good yesterday too (about 3.2 yards per carry, I believe). Obviously, we still need some DLine help, to shore-up the run-D, and pressure the QB. I'd also like to get another LB (or two) to help Poz. But, in my opinion, Tackle is our biggest need. It doesn't matter who the QB is, if they are going to be on their back all day. The Pats were without their two best D-Linemen yesterday, and they still racked up like 6 sacks.
