Albert and Bowe at all costs. Get them back.

We desperately need another safety. At this point I don't care if it's FS or SS, just get someone in here to make Lewis what he should be - a nice depth safety.

An established interior lineman, ideally a center. You'll also want at least one versatile backup as well.

I don't like the CB market; it's overpriced and looking very mediocre this year so I think you're a little hamstrung there. Any 'box' players would require knowing the defense we prefer first.

And I think you use the rest to extend a trade target. You go after Harvin or Maclin and sign them long-term.

I agree with everything but this. Rodney Hudson was the most decorated OL at FSU for a reason.

He's gonna be a very solid C for years.

Good. Play him at G. The position he PLAYED HIS ENTIRE CAREER AT FSU.

Maybe he will, maybe he won't. We don't know what his knee will bounce back as and he was playing pretty poorly before the injury.

Bring in an established C and then if Hudson comes back healthy, he can play G, where we know he's familiar. At that point you have some versatility if the C gets hurt or loses effectiveness.

If you just bring in a veteran G and Hudson struggles again or doesn't recover from his knee injury that well, you're up shits creek. For the sake of versatility and as a CYA maneuver, I think the interior lineman has to be capable of playing C.

I agree. I think it would be very wise for us to draft a C with our 4th round pick. I think that Khaled Holmes or Graham Pocic would be a nice insurance policy and both should be there.

Then again, if Barrett Jones is there at 34, it would be extremely difficult to overlook him. That guy is going to be a pro bowler for years.
