1. ILB - DJ is pretty much done at this point and the guys behind him are barely passable at the position. A Stud ILB can make all of the difference in the world for your defense.
2. CB/DB - As much as I like the way that Mitchell has stepped up to fill the role, I think the team could still use a lot of help there in the secondary and it never hurts to add a stud.
3. OLB - Pass rush is incredibly important in this league and, for the past 2 seasons, Houston hasn't been a reliable guy due to his injuries. Tamba is done in this league as a starting OLB and I never want to see Zombo on the field as a pass rusher ever again.
4. OG - As much as people harp on about OT's being important on the O-line, I think, for Reid's offense, dominant Guards may be even more important. I think LDT has developed into a decent starter but we still have questions at LG and we also struggled running the ball inside this year.
5. OT - Fisher has turned into a decent LT and Schwartz has proven his worth (when he finally got healthy). But the backup could be upgraded.
6. NT - How long do we have Poe for? If he's gone next season this gets bumped up higher. I don't want Jones to have to play the nose and take on double teams all of the time.
7. QBOTF - It's no secret that I'm a fan of Alex Smith, but he won't play forever. I don't see anyone on the team behind him that can develop into the QBOTF so now would be a good time to get that player as Smith will be 33 next year. That being said, I don't see many promising young QB's who are going to come out this year, IMO, it's a weak class.
