NFL Draft Playoff Team needs
by Tyler Lurkins
Cincinnati Bengals
1. DE-The Bengals had zero pass rush.
2. DT-Neither Peko or Atkins played consistently throughout the year.
3. LB-Maualuga may be gone, will Burfict play ILB? If Burfict goes in who play WLB?
Pittsburgh Steelers
1. CB-The Steelers just don’t have that shut down guy anymore.
2. S-The secondary was poor. Polamalu has been a star in the past, but he has nothing left.
3. OLB-Lacking the dominant pass rush may have been the reason the secondary was exposed.
Detroit Lions
1. DT-With or without Suh, the Lions will need to find a ton of help at the DT spot.
2. CB-Mathis is aging and the Lions could bolster their secondary in this division.
3. O line-Will Sims be back, will Swanson improve, and can Detroit do better at RT?
Arizona Cardinals
1. ILB-Arizona struggled mightily last year, and if Washington is gone, will be just as bad this year.
2. OLB-The Cardinals need someone who can consistently blitz off the edge.
3. G-Cooper is a bust. In this division, the Cardinals better find a way to keep Palmer upright.
Carolina Panthers
1. O line-Newton can’t take the abuse two years in a row. Find him a LT and a supporting cast!
2. CB-The secondary really got torched at times last year.
3. RB-If Carolina had a solid, dependable running game, the offense would be more dangerous.
Baltimore Ravens
1. CB-Even after injuries, the corner spot could be upgraded.
2. RB-The Ravens need to find someone as talented as Forsett, only a few years younger.
3. WR-Torrey Smith is gone and Steve Smith only has a couple good years left.
Dallas Cowboys
1. DE-With the O line in shape, it’s time to bolster the D line.
2. RB-Until Murray is resigned, Dallas has no solid RB’s on the roster.
3. S-Wilcox has never panned out.
Denver Broncos
1. TE-Sounds like Julius Thomas is gone, that leaves a major hole.
2. O line-If Manning goes, the team goes. The C play is terrible. They’ll need a RT. What will happen with Clady?
3. NT-Knighton is gone, but Wade Phillilps prefers smaller NT’s anyway.
Indianapolis Colts
1. ILB-This defense can go without a safety, but if they don’t shore up the middle, the Colts will be blasted on the ground.
2. RB-Richardson was a bust. Indy will need an elite runner for Luck.
3. S-Both safeties need upgrading, but the market is very weak.
Green Bay Packers
1. ILB-You can’t take your best rusher and move him inside. The Pack needs a solid ILB.
2. NT-Raji is gone. The organization has stated they want more mobility on the front three.
3. TE-Prospects have went in and out, Green Bay needs a reliable playmaker at TE.
Seattle Seahawks
1. DT-Seattle often was exposed in the run game. They need more active DT’s.
2. TE-Wilson often needs a check down guy. When will Seattle put legit pass catchers around Wilson?
3. WR-Harvin was in the plans, but never panned out. It’s obvious Seattle needs an explosive WR.
New England Patriots
1. G-Brady needs to stay upright.]
2. RB-Enough of the average committee backs. Get a franchise workhorse.
3. CB-Revis won his Super Bowl, will he be back at a discount?
