So, in summary, CB in the first round, OL in the middle rounds, round off the draft with some QB. DE and maybe WR in free agency.

Definitely not Kearse, IMO too old, too fragile.

I believe we need to have at least one big physical receiver, plus I am also concerned with Moss' durability. When he left NYJ a lot of it had to do with injury/hamstring issues. IMO we could address WR in FA. Bryant Johnson and Berrian are the best targets. Berrian would give us a legit deep threat with good size, 6'1" - 185 and Johnson is 6'3", 220 and appears to be a very solid receiver. Another UFA target would be DJ Hackett. He appears to have recovered well from his ankle injury, he's young with good size and has shown improvement each year. Obviously this doesn't take cap ramifications into account.

DE would be my 1st round choice if Campbell from Miami is available. No way Chris Long falls to us, and I'm not sold on the idea of another pass-rushing DE when we have Andre Carter. We need a bigger more physical DE to compliment him.

If Campbell is not there, then a deep class of CBs should provide us with a solid player in the first round that should be productive for 8-10 years.

I would also like to see a 230+ pound RB that can hammer the ball down by the goal line and on short yardage. Too many times on short yardage, Portis or Betts get sideways and get taken down, rather than pounding it. Neither is a "big" back so it is hard to blame them.

OL & DL depth is critical for the rest of the draft.
