So I talked about this in previous discussions, but Dave Caldwell is a needs drafter, but so is Tom Coughlin. He might actually even be more of a needs drafter than DC. So with all the signings that we've made so far:

 

SS - Church - Adams

LE - Campbell - Thomas/Allen

G - No one worthy of top 4 pick

CB - Bouye - Lattimore

LT - Albert - no one worthy of that pick anyway

 

Now, Hooker is also a possibility, although Gipson is still here and in just his 2nd year. With the team likely moving to two-deep safety look, I don't think this is as big a need.

 

This leaves most of our direst needs in offense: QB, RB, TE.

 

QB is an option, though I'm not sure the VP, GM, and HC are going to pull the trigger on a QB at 4.

 

RB? I think the rumor mill has driven the Fournette hype, and there's some merit to it too. But the talk of Latavius Murray coming in for a visit on Monday, and if he signs, makes pulling the trigger for a RB at 4 less likely.

 

Which leaves us to one need...one we opened up in order to acquire the LT of TC's choice, in fact.

 

TE.

 

As much as I think it is ridiculous to spend a #4 pick on a TE, if we are looking at TC and DC as huge needs drafters, I'm not sure there's any other position in this draft where talent and need fits as well as it does for TE and OJ Howard.
