Big hole at pass rush, either LDE or DT.
Medium hole at safety.

Logan Wilson will be back this year. Jermaine Pratt is a good 2 down LB but not the 3 down LB he thought he was. They signed Oren Burks from the Eagles so they're ok at LB for this season.

There is still a chance they get one guard in FA and they're sure to draft another one early. Dax Hill and DJ Turner back in the secondary. That leaves them "ok" at CB.

I'd prefer they go safety and guard 1/2 in the draft but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they look ED to boost the pass rush. I can't see them going IDL since they drafted 2 last year and just signed Slaton from GB as a 0/1/2i tech to go with the young guys.

They could sign a guy like Scherff for 2 years and take either Booker in rd 1 or Ratledge in rd 2 and they're fine at guard for a bit, which would still allow them to get a safety in rd 2, though they'd probably have to trade up (which i don't really see).

In any event, they're not so far away that they can't fix last year...with who they get this year. There's no 2 or 3 year rebuilding plan.
