______________________________
Urgent: Another dominating inside linebacker to pair with David Harris is urgently needed to solidify this 3-4 defense.
Strong: Strong needs are an offensive guard to groom behind Alan Faneca OG who is great but older and an offensive tackle to groom behind the venerable Damien Woody on the right side. To improve the pass defense a talented cornerback must be drafted to play opposite Darrelle Revis; Dwight Lowery can be moved to the nickel position.
Moderate: There is a need for a quarterback to back up Kellen Clemens unless Brett Ratliff and Erik Ainge are up to the task. Another running back is also needed to work into the rotation as Thomas Jones is 30 and Leon Washington is at best as a change of pace back and returner. A defensive end needs to be drafted to be groomed behind Shaun Ellis as well.
Nice To Have: An extra offensive lineman would be nice to have.
Wild Card: Will Kellen Clemens be the starting quarterback in 2009 and, if so, how will he perform, and who will be his primary backup?
