I do expect them to draft someone at this position or find an inexpensive blocking tight end to replace Manhertz. That being said, if Dalton Kincaid is available in Round 2, I'd run to the podium immediately when our name is called. 

The easier question would have been to identify the most important need. Nickel/slot corner is the clear winner, but finding a good swing tackle is number 2. I still occasionally have nightmares of defensive ends feasting on the likes of Guy Whimper and Ephrem Salaam. We can't afford to lose our franchise quarterback due to ignoring the need at this position.

No.  #1 need is left guard or center.  Neither Bartch nor Fortner are really starter quality.  We're going to have to hope one of them improves a lot, but hoping against hope that both do is insane.  This is a bigger need than nickel because nickel is not quite a full time position.

any guard you draft will need to improve greatly.
Bartch and Fortner are both progressing as expected and I expect will continue to improve. Shatley is good enough as a backup behind them

agree on the nickel/cb, theres enough talent to be fine.

Tackle position is where they need to be aggressive. Not much behind Cam and Little, plus you combine that with Cam's injury and also the possibility of being let go next year, and you have a poor position group
