In my opinion, we need a solid young LB group.
IYO what is our most glaring need ?
- Thread starter fastball83
- Start date
Interior of the offensive line, OL depth especially. Probably that and the secondary.

Wade... to the Moon.
Nose Tackle and LBs.

probably in order
1. A pash rusher opposite of Porter (be it a DE or another LB)
2. Another solid corner
3. A center
4. An ILB
5. A tall WR for the red zone.

i would say OLB b/c that is the premier position in the 3-4 and its success is dependent upon a consistent pass rush from the edge.
It depends on what we do with our free agents. Tackle is a huge need if Carey isn't resigned. Same goes with Inside Linebacker with Crowder and Safety with Bell.
Look for linebacker and the two lines to be the main focal point again of this free agency and draft. They will likely add a receiver and a cornerback or two(Hopefully they re-sign Goodman).
The offensive line is in flux once again with really the only spot set being LT with Jake Long. Question arise about the rest of the line. Is Smiley, the LG, going to be completely healthy after his leg injury and yet another shoulder surgery? Will Satele be demoted from Center or possibly moved to the guard position? Will Donald Thomas be completely healthy after his foot injury? Will Vernon Carey be re-signed as RT? This position is likely to see some pretty big changes going into next year.
In the 3-4 defense, you can never have enough lineman and linebackers. Expect a focus on inside linebackers and nose tackle. I also could see Holliday being released/traded and Canty being brought in as his replacement.

Interior Linemen, SIP will never allow that crappy of line play again... we better be able to get big gains on base offense running..
we also need at least 1 new ILB and 1 new OLB, preferably in the draft, rookie ILB's are very productive..
Also some primetime games

it's funny you say that because my bro&i were just talking about the same thing....he says that aside from the QB position,probably the next valuable thing a team can have is a strong pass rush,and strong pass rush has him leaning more&more towards us getting Larry English who has been called DeMarcus Ware 2.0...me personally,i'm all for our OL being addressed early on,and preferably the interior of our OL,but in all honesty,i think with me,strong pass rushing OLB/DE or Interior OL being picked runs a tie as to what our most glaring needs are...
