The Falcons don't need a Running back at all. They need a Free Safety much more. I would also say that Tight End is a bigger need than Inside Linebacker because Paul Warrilow is pretty good. I also think that Prince Shembo is a steal. I do agree that the Falcons number one need is an edge rusher as well.

Nailed what Miami needs.. Only bigger need is a competent head coach, but of course we can't get than in the draft now can we?

I think it is great that you are doing this, and I don't mean to rain on your parade, but how can you determine team's needs before their last draft has ever played a real snap??

For the Steelers I think TE would be higher than pass rusher. They need to create more mismatches in the hurry up O, another TE would do that perfectly. I definitely wouldn't shy away from drafting another pass rusher at some point though, even if they manage to resign Worilds, they could use a sub-package pass rusher. A bit of a bigger guy to play opposite of Worilds and can set the edge.

A bit of a bigger guy to play opposite of Worilds and can set the edge. Worilds is almost certainly a Free Agent. Personally, an early favorite as a 2nd-3rd Round pick is LB Tony Washington out of Oregon. He is 6'2" 250 lbs and can drop in coverage as well as rush the passer. He is a bit of a project in terms of pass rushing moves, but he is intriguing and looks like he fits our system well.

Saints don't need RBs. They have shown consistently that they are fine with who they have, and they don't even use RBs much in an offensive strategy that starts and ends with Drew Brees. I mean, if they get the chance at Todd Gurley than they would, but it's a luxury for them and not a need. As far as New Orleans, I just dont feel confident in their RBs. Mark Ingram hasn't broken through and he is starting out of necessity. Pierre Thomas also seems to be losing favor of the Saints so I don't like their depth either. Drew Brees being their entire Offense just doesn't make me feel right. He has significant injury history and at his age, having him go down is the worst thing that can happen. Ingram is not the starter only because he's the best of a bad group. He played pretty well last year (esp. towards the end of the year and into the playoffs), and he's also had a fantastic preseason. Khiry Robinson has big potential and he looked really good in his carries last year. He'll only get better going forward. We found another diamond in the rough with Khiry IMO. Pierre Thomas has certainly not fallen out of favor. He had 77 receptions last year (most in the league for a RB) and now that Sproles is gone, I don't see that number decreasing by much - if at all. Pierre also has pass blocking duties, which he's pretty darn good at. Also.. Drew Brees is not injury prone, lol. In his 8 years as a Saint, he's only missed one game.

But at his age, his injury he suffered as a Charger is not something you can just ignore. He avoids injuries for the most part thanks to his style of play and the great OLs he has had, but with a QB like him, you gotta be prepared for the worst.

Looks to be that ways since the Steelers have to sign Roethlisberger, Heyward, and Allen. I think they really need someone to set the edge better either way, preferably a player that compares to Orakpo, Kerrigan, Hali, Wake, or Suggs.

Who takes injuries from 8 years ago into account? Really? I guess Brady better watch his ACL, been 5-6 years since he tore it.

Switch out LT with TE and I agree. The beginning of the decline of Heath Miller is very evident. He should be okay this year though. But a new #1 TE is needed next draft.
