Free agency Adam Wainwright Jersey is all but complete, and there are still myriad roster holes to be filled acro s the NFL. For example, the desperately need a receiver. has to be begging for more weapons.Below you will find the most glaring needs in the NFL with free agency in the rearview mirror and three potential options for each team to addre s those needs in the draft. The first two are early-round (mostly Round 1) candidates. The third is a Day 2 po sibility.Glaring need: Wide receiverFrom to to T.Y. Hilton, the Ravens swung and mi sed on receivers in free agency. And is unlikely to re-sign. But all hope isn't lost for the Lamar Jackson-led pa sing offense, an attack that produced the fewest aerial yards in football in 2020 (174.1 yards per game). Sure, the Ravens adore running, and are pretty darn good at pounding the rock.But to become a more complete team, they have to get better through the air.Addre s the need with: Rashod Bateman (Minnesota), Terrace Marshall (LSU), Simi Fehoko (Stanford) When considering size and traits needed to succeed at the NFL level, Bateman is the most complete wideout in the cla s. Marshall looks like a chiseled chain-mover, but he can take the top of the defense and is a stallion in the open field. Fehoko is the (rightfully) trendy mid-round wideout with size, suddenne s, and rebounding skill teams looking for size and athleticism at the receiver position will be targeting, likely on Day 2.Glaring need: CornerbackIn one of the most red-flag moments in NFL free agency history (dead series), about 30 minutes after the Bears released last week, he signed with the . And, yes, they drafted in Round 2 last year and signed veteran . Given Johnson's inexperience and Trufant's age, Chicago still has to addre s the cornerback position in the draft.Addre s the need with: Patrick Surtain II (Alabama), Jaycee Horn (South Carolina), Kelvin Joseph (Kentucky)I will not be shocked if Surtain or Horn are available when the Bears go on the clock at No. 20 overall. While I personally think going at No. 20 overall is too early for either cornerback prospect, it's not as if Chicago could wait until Round 2 to select either of them. And they absolutely have first-round athletic profiles -- plus NFL bloodlines -- and they come from the SEC. Joseph transferred from LSU and had four picks in his lone season at Kentucky, one of which came against Kentucky. Like Surtain and Horn, he's long, smooth athletically and plays the ball well in the air. He'd be one heck of a pick for the Bears in the second or third round.Glaring need: Right tackleThe Broncos lost in free agency, and veteran remains unsigned. He's not the answer at the right tackle position anyway at his point in his pro career. The rest of the line is decently sturdy. The right tackle spot e sentially has no starter penciled in right now.Regardle s of who's the quarterback in 2021 for the Broncos, that position has to be addre sed early in the draft. Addre s the need with: Christian Darrisaw (Virginia Tech), Teven Jenkins (Oklahoma State), Royce Newman (Ole Mi s)Darrisaw is big, balanced, and powerful and would acclimate in an instant on the right side in Denver. Jenkins isn't quite athletic as his tackle counterparts in this cla s. He's probably the most technically sound and plays with a glorious mean streak.And some team is going to get an NFL-ready, versatile blocker with good quicks and balance in Newman on the third day of the draft. The Broncos need to have him on their radar. He Jordan Hicks Jersey locked down the right tackle spot at Ole Mi s. Glaring need: Edge rusherWith two-year stint in Indianapolis over, the Colts currently have former second-round picks and -- a pair of raw but athletic rushers who've yet to reach their potential -- as the edge defenders with the most upside. is there too.Either way, Indianapolis needs more juice around the corner on its defensive line after only addre Lance Lynn Jersey sing the position with in free agency.Addre s the need with: Kwity Paye (Michigan), Jaelan Phillips (Miami), Quincy Roche (Miami) Paye might be available when the Colts pick in the 20s, and he would check the boxes Chris Ballard typically likes in his defenders. He's big and athletic. The same goes for Phillips, although the true appeal with his game is its completene s, not a standout trait.On the second day of the draft, or early on the third, Roche from Miami would buck the trend of the Colts picking raw but super-explosive edge rushers. And maybe that wouldn't be the worst idea? He's limited athletically and doesn't have long arms. His pa s-rush move arsenal is loaded.Glaring need: Offensive lineEven with the splashy free-agent signing of and agreeing to terms with out of retirement, the Chiefs have an offensive tackle problem. Addre s the need with: Alex Leatherwood (Alabama), Dillon Radunz (North Dakota State), Stone Forsythe (Florida)Leatherwood crushed his combine workout and has clean film for two full seasons at left tackle in the SEC. The scouting report could really end right there. Radunz needs to get considerably stronger but po se ses franchise tackle length and high-caliber athletic gifts, plus he was voted the overall best practice player by his teammates at the Senior Bowl.Forsythe is the ultimate project at the tackle spot in this cla s. He's listed at 6-foot-9 and 310 pounds and looks like an oversized tight end at left tackle. Of course, he's effortle sly strong but needs to dial back his overaggre sivene s and play with more balance. If he can do either of those things, we're talking about a stud left tackle with unfathomable tools. Glaring need: Left tackleThe Chargers don't have a viable left tackle under contract right now, particularly after 2020 starter signed the Colts. Technically, 2019 third-round pick would probably start at the Junior Fernandez Jersey vital position if the season started tomorrow. The Chargers don't want that. managed to have an Offensive Rookie of the Year season with the rather inconsistent Tevi at left tackle, but not securing a quality blocker at that position during the early stages of Herbert's career would be playing with fire.Addre s the need with: Rashawn Slater (Northwestern), Christian Darrisaw (Virginia Tech), Samuel Cosmi (Texas) Slater has a chance to be picked before Penei Sewell, believe it or not, because he represents a fine blend of fundamentals, athleticism, and low-center-of-gravity pop on impact. Darrisaw would be perfectly sensible in Round 1 too.The Chargers probably won't want to wait much longer than Round 2 to addre s the left tackle spot, and Cosmi is someone they should zero in on if they go in a different direction positionally in the first round. He added much-needed strength to his game in 2020 at Texas.Glaring need: Right side of the offensive line , , , and -- that quartet represents the two-deep depth chart for Las Vegas' offensive line heading into the draft.It was a strange ma s exodus up front for the Raiders, with , , and all traded or released in a matter of weeks. Las Vegas is in dire straits to the right of the center and must make blocking reinforcement a priority early in the draft.Addre s the need with: Alijah Vera-Tucker (USC), Wyatt Davis (Ohio State), Kendrick Green (Illinois)Vera-Tucker is a guard or tackle at the next level -- doesn't matter who's in front of him, he's getting blocked. Davis is stocky but athletic with a hard-to-shake equilibrium. While he wasn't as dominant in 2020 as 2019, there weren't many clear-cut whiffs on film, and he's a people-mover in the run game.On Day 2, Green looks like the surest thing at the guard position. He could add more weight to his frame but already shows power close to NFL-caliber by way of torque to control defenders at the point of attack. He's quick out of his stance and plays with good patience.Glaring need: CornerbackThe Cowboys have now lost Byron Jones and Chidobe Awuzie at the cornerback spot over the past two offseasons. We know how much of an abomination that group was in 2020, and while Trevon Diggs flashed, he was also roasted downfield early.Without that position being addre sed in free agency, the hole needs to be filled in the draft.Addre s the need with: Caleb Farley (Virginia Tech), Ifeatu Melifonwu (Syracuse), Cam Bynum (California)Sure, Patrick Surtain II would be an option in Round 1. But let's highlight another corner. Farley is a converted receiver who Andrew Miller Jersey shows receiver-type athletic traits and ball skills at all levels of the field. Melifonwu is yet another long, hyper-explosive cornerback who can stay with quicker wideouts on intricate routes.Bynum, likely available late on Day 2 or early Day 3, has length deficiencies but is a twitched up, pre s-man specialist who'd bring more natural talent to the secondary, and he can cover separation specialists.Glaring need: CenterThis couldn't get anymore straight forward -- retired. Like most teams, the Steelers didn't have a center-in-waiting on the roster. Given lack of mobility and Pittsburgh's needing to significantly improve their ground game from the stagnant unit it was in 2020, the center spot getting fixed in the draft is vital.Addre s the need with: Creed Humphrey (Oklahoma), Landon Dickerson (Steelers) Josh Myers (Ohio State)Humphrey is the most NFL-ready center in the cla s, he brings the requisite combination of athleticism, power, and balance to start and excel early in his career. Dickerson played every offensive line spot in his long college career, and had it not been for an ACL tear in December, he would've been stiff competition for Humphrey for the No. 1 center spot.Myers is a dynamic mover too, and should be available on the second day of the draft because he has some length and strength deficiencies right now.
