We should come out of the first three rounds with:
Berry or Mays
A TRUE pass-rushing OLB.
A new starting OC.
A TRUE #2 WR

The problem is, until proven otherwise, I do not see this team getting into a bidding war for a player the caliber of Mankins. All this team has proven in recent history is that they are too cheap to go out there and compete for free agents.
Also, if the CBA is allowed to expire we are NOT going to be able to depend on free agency at all to bring in some talent.
