Thats what I'd be after.
Kelvin Sheppard continues to do little to impress me. I think he may only end up being a solid backup in this league. Put it this way, nothing in his game so far tells me we have found the answer for our need for a starting ILB. Vontaze Burfict or Luke Kuechly would be possibilities around the 15 pick. The LB corp needs quick, strong, playmakers who find the ball fast and hit like a truck.
Pass rushing OLB is a big need already. Courtney Upshaw would be a great pickup in the mid-1st. We are desperate for a pass rusher who can also play against the run. Upshaw fits the Bill.
At CB, McGee is about done, Florence gets too many penalties and is best suited to play underneath. Rogers is playing well and Williams has potential but thats not enough. Dre Kirkpatrick may be available at around the 15 spot.
It will be interesting to see if we keep Stevie. Even if we do, Parrish may not be resigned, Easley may be done for good, and Nelson belongs in the slot. WR is a big need. Blackmon may not drop out of the top 10, and we may not pick that high. He'd be ideal IMO. After that, I'd like guys like Ryan Broyles (assuming he can come back from the ACL), Marquis Maze, but maybe Michael Floyd in the 1st.
One area that may not be addressed is OT. As I said weeks ago, when Bell became healthy, Hairston will still start at LT. The Bills like Hairston at LT and I think they let Bell leave and start him there long term. The OL overall is good as far as starters, depth could still use help.
I also don't see DL being much of a possibility, DE, DT, and NT are all set so unless we go after a rusher, I think we may not take anyone early.
One thing to watch for would be a mid to late round QB as a backup. I'd love Weeden but his stock is on the rise.
Really, ILB, OLB, CB, and WR are the priorities IMO.
