Hi, with the season almost over and the draft the biggest event of the off-season, we are quickly going to take an early look at teams biggest needs in the draft. Good picks are my reccomendation of who they should pick and if I suggest a bad player at that position thats because the team doesn't have a high enough pick to get one of the best at the position. This is also in order of the draft order. Some quick news that Ben Roethlisberger admitted he may retire this off-season. Here it is:
Browns: QB, RB: The Browns passed on Carson Wentz in last years draft and they obviously need a QB because RGIII will not work for long. Isiah Crowell and Duke Johnson are young, but they are not great running backs and the Browns could get a star like Leonard Fournette. GOOD PICK: Mitch Trubisky, QB, North Carolina
49ers: QB, WR: The 49ers need a QB because Colin Kaepernick is garbage. Their are some good QB's in the draft they could get like Mitch Trubisky. Their best receiver is a guy who would be a 3rd string on any other roster. They need some elite pass-catchers to help a young QB. GOOD PICK: DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson
Bears: QB, CB: Another QB needy team, the Bears went through 3 QB's this season and Jay Cutler is likely out of Chicago for good. Brian Hoyer looked good but he is too old to be their answer. The Bears also had one of the worst defenses in the league and will need a great corner to help defend against the pass heavy teams in just their division. GOOD PICK: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
Jaguars: DT/DE, S: The Jags need to have a scary front on the D line and they could benefit from a good DT or DE. They don't have great safeties which allows them to give up big plays that could be stopped by a talented safety. GOOD PICK: Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
Titans: WR, CB: Marcus Mariota was on fire this season but didn't have great receivers. If he had someone like Antonio Brown imagine what he could do!! The Titans D got exposed this season and they need a young corner that will distrupt the good receivers in their division like DeAndre Hopkins, T.Y. Hilton, and Allen Robinson. GOOD PICK: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State
Jets: QB, CB: Ryan Fitzpatrick was horrible this season and will be gone right away. The Jets need their future QB and someone like DeShaun Watson could fall into their lap. They also need a new CB1 because Darrelle Revis may retire and even if he doesn't he is too old to be their best CB. GOOD PICK: Pat Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech
Chargers: WR, QB: The Chargers need a great receiver. Keenan Allen keeps getting hurt and Tyrell Williams can't be their no. 1 receiver. A reliable target would really help the Chargers. Phillip Rivers is still an insane QB, but with his age, he could easily get injured and the Chargers have no one to back him up plus in a few years, Rivers will be retired. GOOD PICK: Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
Panthers: RB, OT: The Panthers need a new running back to take some pressure off Cam Newton. Jonathan Stewart is way too old and getting a new young RB could really help. The Panthers have needed an OT for so long and they could finally just pull the trigger this off-season in the draft. GOOD PICK: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU
Bengals: DE, LB: The Bengals need to bring more pressure to other teams QBs and with a new stud LB or DE they could easily bring pressure and give a terrible D some hope. GOOD PICK: Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama
Bills: QB, WR: I think QB Tyrod Taylor is a great QB but the Bills don't and they can't start trash E.J. Manuel so they need a good QB for the future. Their wide receiving core also needs some upgrades with Sammy Watkins always getting injured. GOOD PICK: John Ross, WR, Washington
Saints: CB, S: The Saints need a star CB because in a great division they can't keep up with a bunch of old corners. Safety Jarius Byrd is playing badly and needs to be replaced so they don't get exposed on big plays. GOOD PICK: Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State
Cardinals: QB, WR: Carson Palmer showed that he is almost done with his age catching up to him. If the Cardinals get a young QB that can learn and in a few seasons, play when Palmer is done, that would be great for them. A wide receiver would help because Larry Fitzgerald has likely played his last game and the Cards got rid of WR1 Michael Floyd. GOOD PICK: Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma
Colts: LB, DE: The Colts pass rushers are getting old and they will really need an upgrade to bring the pressure on the great opposing QB's in their division. GOOD PICK: Soloman Thomas, DE, Stanford
Eagles: WR, RB: Wide receiver is for sure their biggest need. All their receivers have been playing terribly and they need some receivers for young QB Carson Wentz to grow and play well. Ryan Matthews isn't a good running back and drafted a dangerous running back could take some pressure off the QB. GOOD PICK: Juju Smith-Schuster, WR, USC
Ravens: WR, CB: All of the Ravens receivers aren't top 10 and most are getting pretty old. A young speedster or red zone threat could be great for a QB like Joe Flacco. They need a great CB to compliment their great run defense with a great pass defense too. GOOD PICK: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Redskins: S, WR: A good safety could help Josh Norman so he wouldn't have to be the one that everyone relies on to make great plays. Most of the receivers on the team aren't great and the Skins' could use some because WR1 DeSean Jackson may even leave this off-season for another team. GOOD PICK: Jamal Adams, S, LSU
Buccaneers: D-Line, TE: Having a great player on the D line could help improve a Bucs defense that is on the rise. They don't have a reliable tight end after cutting Austin Seferian-Jenkins and getting a great tight end can really helps teams because they are so hard to cover. GOOD PICK: Chris Wormley, DT/DE, Michigan
Broncos: OT, TE: The Broncos next QB will be young because Trevor Siemian, Paxton Lynch, or any QB they draft are all young and they will need time in the pocket. A great OT could really help them improve. The Broncos are pretty good at all of the positions and so their next biggest need would be a tight end because its great to have a great tight end that can be impossible to cover. GOOD PICK: Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama
Lions: Pass Rush, CB: The Lions have pretty much no one at CB and in a great division full of talented QB's they will need a great CB to help. Ezekiel Ansah didn't have a great season and the Lions obviously need to bring pressure to other teams. GOOD PICK: Marlon Humphery, CB, Alabama
Dolphins: DE, OG: The Dolphins need a young DE to replace the aging Mario Williams because the Dolphins need a great pass rush. With Brandon Albert maybe gone next season, the Dolphins will need an OG to replace him. GOOD PICK: Taco Charleton, DE, Michigan
Giants: RB, LB: The Giants have never had a very strong running game and they could finally nail a good running back down so they don't have to pass every play with the aging Eli Manning. A good LB could finish a defensive re-build that the team started last off-season. GOOD PICK: Dalvin Cook, RB, FSU
Raiders: CB, DT: The Raiders need a lockdown corner because their current corners aren't cutting it. A defensive tackle upgrade would also really really help a rising D-line. GOOD PICK: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida
Texans: QB, LB: The Texans yet again need a QB because if they actually want to go deep in the playoffs they will need a good QB. A great linebacker would help a rising Texans D. GOOD PICK: Brad Kaaya, QB, Miami
Seahawks: O-Line, S: The Seahawks obviously need a good O-lineman because they probably have the worst O-line in the league. It could help Russell Wilson have time and Seattle's young RBs to get holes to run. Earl Thomas was a huge loss and no backup safety could replace him. Earl Thomas will likely retire soon and so getting a great backup safety for when Earl's hurt or when he retires would be great for the Seahawks. GOOD PICK: Jabrill Peppers, S/LB, Michigan
Chiefs: WR, RB: With a great defense, they don't need much there but the offense needs work. Tyreek Hill looked insane this season but Jeremy Maclin and the other receivers on the team played horribly. A great WR1 or 2 could really help Alex Smith. Who knows whats happening with Jamaal Charles but if he is gone, Spencer Ware isn't good enough to be the starting RB. GOOD PICK: Courtland Sutton, WR, SMU
Cowboys: CB, DE: The Cowboys offense looks great and young but the D needs work. A great CB1 could help even though the Boys' corners were good this season. A star pass-rusher could really help and the Cowboys have needed one since they passed up on Joey Bosa last draft. GOOD PICK: Adoree Jackson, CB, USC
Packers: CB, Pass Rush: The Packers need a lockdown corner so they can win the Super Bowl again because with a crappy D like theirs, they won't win. A bad pass rush also slows the Packers down and an upgrade there would be nice. GOOD PICK: Jalen (TEEZ) Tabor, CB, Florida
Steelers: TE, LB: Health Miller was great on the Steelers and having a great tight end again could really help the Steelers pass game. The Steelers have needed a linebacker for awhile and Lawrence Timmons will be retired soon. GOOD PICK: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
Falcons: DT, Pass Rush: The Falcons need pass rush because their D is horrible. Its that simple. GOOD PICK: Malik McDowell, DT, Michigan State
Patriots: LB, TE: The Pats need an LB since Jamie Collins left and with Rob Gronkowski always getting hurt and Martellus Bennett maybe leaving in free-agency this season they will want a great tight end to be there. GOOD PICK: Christian McCaffery, RB, Stanford
TEAMS WITHOUT A FIRST ROUND PICK:
Rams: WR, QB: A great WR would really help the struggling Rams QBs. Jared Goff is still very young and un-proven but they might want to think about a good backup in-case things go wrong. GOOD PICK: Curtis Samuel, WR/RB, Ohio State
Vikings: RB, WR: The Vikings running game went down the drain with Adrian Peterson gone and he's getting old so when he retires soon or leaves for another team they will need a great RB to be there. The Vikes also need a great WR1 because Stefon Diggs isn't a WR1. GOOD PICK: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas
Thanks for reading this long post!
