Now, our secondary is currently a mess. But, Aaron Williams has played very well at S. Gilmore is a stud. And McKelvin has been surprisingly good at #2 CB. All of that is without Byrd. If Byrd is re-signed our secondary will be very good and we won't need to add a day one starter from the draft. If Byrd leaves we should be looking for a starting S from FA or the draft.
LG is also an issue. No way around it, we can use an upgrade. I do think this is a spot where you can get a day one starter out of the first round. So, this may also be a spot where we take one in rounds 2 or 3.
TE is intriguing. It's a spot where we could use a stud receiving threat. It's also a spot where it's possible that one or even two guys end up being mid-1st worthy picks. The 2nd or 3rd is more likely but if you think Jenkins or even Ebron are worthy... Maybe you make the leap. I do think we should be careful... If we don't see stud TE ability... serious threat as a receiver... I don't think we should make that jump in the 1st.
