I think they still need additions at linebacker, defensive tackle and cornerback with a high-round cornerback being most likely to immediately contribute the most. That doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily take one early, but the opportunity is there if they do.
Linebacker is a strange one because you don’t really know how big of a need it will be this year. No question they need depth – ideally a versatile guy who can run, but if Mayo/Hightower come back and are okay, it’s not necessarily a starter need for the entire season.
Any defensive tackle they draft (Eddie Goldman) or sign (Red Bryant) is going to be part of a rotation. Not sure they’ll be able to acquire anyone who’s going to come in and play 75 percent of the snaps right off the bat. That’s okay though, Siliga, Chris Jones, Easley and even Antonio Johnson deserve a chance to contribute.
In starting to put together my mock draft it’s a tough three-way battle in the first two rounds between these positions. They can’t address all three (and guard) immediately. As always, it will depend on how they see the value at their draft spots.
