Like maybe DT Deone Walker and one of the top guards like Booker or Jackson?

Could go a long way toward fixing our trenches.

If I trade back and end up in the 12th - 20th range with two first round picks I am not eyeing a DT or OG there. I would be looking to get more bang for my buck. Which would probably rub some of you the wrong way. But, ideally:

Give me J.T Tuimoloau at EDGE and Tyler Warren at TE in this scenario.

or

Give me Emeka Egbuka at WR and Malaki Starks at S in this scenario. 

It'll be an interesting off season with a lot of holes to backfill. Hopefully by the end of March we'll have a better idea of what the main focus will be in April. I would have a hard time passing up on either of those combinations above though in RD1 based on everything that I see and feel about this current roster.

We clearly lack a viable EDGE presence outside of our main two. We clearly lack a strong safety player in our secondary. We also clearly like firepower and excitement on offense outside of BTJ. Assuming that, this team finds a way to move on from Kirk's bloated contract and maybe even Engram if they feel content with Strange as a former 2nd RD investment. 

I still think adding a playmaker like Warren, who can play TE and do things out of the backfield along with maybe Egbuka, who would be a really nice WR2 to BTJ would also benefit this team.

Ebuka in the teens?  Yuk  He had a great sophomore year and then he just hasnt lived up for it imo.  The Ohio St freshman is much better.  You would think being his senior year he would be the number 1 WR.  I remember not that long ago you saying you wasnt that high on Starks and now you would like him in the teens?  Is Starks better than Watts and Emmanwori? 

 Im not looking at positions though enless we have to players rated equal, we have a need at every position honestly.  We need to take whoever we feel is the BPA and the top guy on our board.
