We definately have stronger depth at receiver, so I'd have to say Lance Briggs. As time goes on, it's looking like LB is becoming an immediate issue, and one that wouldn't be solved by the 2008 draft.
It does look like the CB market is drying up fast. We might be able to chase Trufant, but it looks like Nnamdi is going to be tagged (maybe Al Davis can still accomplish simple procedural tasks), and Samuel's price tag is going to be so ridiculous that only a handful of teams could even fit him in under the cap.
Back to LB though, there is certainly a spot for Briggs on this team. He can play the vastly important WLB position, and Rocky can make the switch to the less athleticly dependant SLB, where he can succeed Marcus.
Of course if we lose both Marcus and Rocky after 2009, that doesn't do a whole lot of good.
