Need QB, WR, RT, OLB, ILB, SS. Can use depth at DT/DE as well, and TE who can run block and catch.
There's nothing here to really blow up, we need to fill the immense crater that is the Buffalo Bills.

We have talent, it's just being misused by the coaching staff. A couple of upgrades that others have mentioned, plus fresh blood on the sideline will do wonders for this team.

Personally I think a legit QB alone would have won us one more game at least. Add in a solid starter at ILB and another at OLB and I can see another game at least.
I think we'd be at 6 or 7 wins right now.
Finding a legit QB is not easy but I do think finding a solid starter potential ILB and even OLB in one offseason is do-able.
The scheme has to be fixed to cover the flat and seems.

We need in no order of importance besides the top 3...
HC, QB, DC, SS, CB - 3 of them, LB - 3 of them, at least one OT, TE, WR - 2 of them, K - because apparently Lindell can't kick 50 yarders nor kick off.
If that's not a team that needs a full tear down and rebuild I don't know what is.
Who do you say are must keeps on this team right now?
Spiller, Levitre, Wood, Mario, Kyle, Byrd and Sanborn. Am I missing anyone? By my calculations that's 3 of 11 on each side of the ball and a long snapper.
Our OL played like trash today, last week as well, but fans overlook that because Spiller can make people miss and Fitz is just so terrible you overlook how bad Hairston and Urbik have been.

My is Justin Rogers still on the field ? That guy sucks too.
McKelvin can go. Returners are a dime a dozen in this league and McKelvin is garbage as a CB.
The 7 guys I listed are the only guys who I think we MUST keep around for the next 3-5 years or so and build around. Stevie is iffy but he's really a possession type receiver who works underneath...those guys aren't that hard to really replace but there's no need to let him go anywhere because he's the only real WR this team has. Donald Jones or David Nelson are fine too but lower on the depth chart at the position.
Everyone else on this team, IMO, are interchangeable parts where we can go get a middle tier FA who can do the same thing and then there are positions we need OBVIOUS upgrades. And that's not just at QB.
We could likely survive Levitre going elsewhere to be honest but losing Byrd would be a travesty. Seeing good interior lineman are easier to find than ball hawking playmakers at FS. However, with a team full of holes, creating even more isn't a model for winning football.
