This is our main need in my opinion going into this draft, and given the quality and range of players available, I want to draft 2.
It is a rare year that there isn't a high end prospect, but tons of guys with talent that could develop and be great football players all the way through the draft. I am going to italicize the guys that I am looking at as steals and potential underrated possibilities.
