Also, I hope the Niners are content with Smith. Will make them a non-factor sooner rather than later if the rest of the NFCW gets it shit together.

I'd say cleveland's needs are in this order-

1. WR1- Greg Little is the only guy with any type of upside and has had numerous drops. I think he'd be an awesome fit for a #2 receiver in the long run, so we really need that superstar #1 guy.

2. RT- We have Tony Pashos, enough said.

3. Kind of stuck here what should be next, but I'm going to go with OLB- Scott Fujita is garbage. If we could get a good OLB, that would solve tons of problems that we had this year on defense.

4. RB- Hillis won't be back. Hardesty is injury prone, and neither him or Ogbannaya have very much upside at all. If we could grab a guy like Richardson, we'd be set for awhile with a huge playmaker on offense.

5. 4-3 DE- We need pass rush to come from somewhere, and Jabaal Sheard is quickly turning into an awesome pass rusher. If we could have a guy on the other side that offensive coordinators need to account for, our defense would have a whole new image.

6. OG- We have a 6th round rookie Jason Pinkston starting for us on one side who hasn't been awful, but on the other side Shawn Lauvao hasn't lived up to expectations whatsoever. I think we'll need to fill in either the LG or RG, and let the two younger guys battle for the other spot.

7. QB- Nobody knows what Colt Mccoy is yet. I'm torn between putting this one near the top of my list, or right here. There's endless arguments on why Colt hasn't succeeded yet. He has no weapons, a shit line this year, and his first year in a new system. I'm almost certain we don't draft a QB in this draft unless we grew some massive balls and move up to draft luck.. Gets me excited just thinking about it.

8. CB2- Sheldon Brown is really regressing, and hasn't played all that well at all since coming to Cleveland. If we could get a young stud to play across from Haden, I think that's a secondary that'll be really tough to throw against.

ILB is iffy - I think Lenon has played fine at that position. If we can get one we should, but pecking order is DEFINITELY 1. Tackle, 2. OLB, 3. WR then on to ILB.

I'm doing a lot of this based off of PFF, because obviously I can't watch every game, but Lenon is already 34 and is currently rated as the 2nd worst ILB in the league right about Barrett Ruud of Tennessee.

I wish Cleveland did fun things on offense. It would be cool to see Greg Little run the ball more.

How did I not realize he is 34? Honestly I am not sure how he is rated so poorly, it gets brought up on the Cardinals forum all the time, yet he makes plays every game and doesn't give up any big plays. Now, a lot of it has to do with the fact that we have a really, really solild D-Line rotation, and Daryl Washington there to pick up his slack and make the big plays. We definitely should replace him next season, or make him a rotational player, but OLB, T and WR are far far above that in importance.

[startBBtoday]

Yeah, I definitely don't trust PFF 100% on everything. But some pretty smart people are watching those game that know what they're talking about.

Garza is currently the 2nd worst rated center in the league right now too. Right above J.D. Walton of Denver.

[Getup and Dance]

I don't even know why the Bears use Garza at Center when they have Chris Spencer who is an actual Center playing Guard.

[JuneJuly]

Bears o-line was doing pretty okay before the game where they gave up seven sacks on Hanie. But he basically ran right into all of them...

Dolphins need a Marino

[Vanislh]

most teams need a marino

[phillipjacob]

Bengals.

CB - After hall went down teams have been passing on us at will. We need a solid ballhawking number 2 corner.

WR - Simpson is decent but drops a lot of catches and doesn't realize the potential he has inside him. Shipley will be back next season to run out of the slot, so we just need a good number 2 who can help Green out.

We do get two first round picks this year. I would like to see them addressed on those.

S - Nelson has really revived himself into a solid starter this year, but crocker has gotten slow and gets beat a lot. I would like to see what Mays has to really offer though.

G - We need a quality pick up at this position, thought I would like the o-line to be addressed via free agency, depth would be nice though

RB - Scott deserves more touches, Benson is a solid, but he's not a gamebreaker.

Overall we're a very young team that I think is headed in the right direction.

[porttheman]

I agree with the needs for Denver. I would add RB too. Coach Fox likes that two attack RB group and idk if Ball or Johnson is what Fox is looking at. If Moreno gets the boot then I definitely see them going after a RB.

Yeah, they'll probably add another RB in the draft. McGahee might not have a ton left in him and Moreno can't really be depended on. They'd be looking good going into the season with those two, but both are risks to last the whole season.

Are these in any particular order? Sadly, it's probably shorter to list what we DON'T need. RT is one of our biggest needs. We also need a FS pretty badly. Guard may not be a huge need because we have every intention of keeping Steinbach, and Jason Pinkston has shown the potential to merit consideration for further development in a starting role. Pass rush isn't necessarily as bad either. We do need another defensive end, but I wouldn't say it really ranks highly compared to other glaring holes.
