If it were me, I’d move heaven and earth to get Jim to open his wallet, shake out the moths, and ante up for a DJ Read or Charvarius Ward.

Then, I’d move on to Safety and do another un Ballard like thing and trade up in the draft to get this year’s version of Troy Polamalu…Malaki Starks.

Third on my list of needs has me torn between WR and TE. I’d love to add a dynamic, game changer on the outside, but there’s a heck of a lot of value in a Rob Gronkowski/Travis Kelce/George Kittle kind of guy who gets open, moves the chains, doesn’t drop the ball, and can actually, like, plant a defender in the ground when asked to block.

Then, a Running Back to spell Taylor on fifteen plays a game, someone who runs well, poses a threat as a receiver, and can stone a blitzing Safety.

Somewhere in there you can slot a gobsmacking Defensive Tackle, someone to ensure that whenever Grover Stewart exits the game, the middle of the D doesn’t turn into a total shitshow.
I don't see Ballard going after a CB as a FA.

I like Starks, but is he too similar to Cross? Cross and Blackmon are both best at SS, and Blackmon is likely gone.

Man, I'm right up there with you on TE. Every TE we have is replacement level.

We need JT's replacement soon. He got paid to be everything Barkley is doping for the Eagles and he's half the player.

I thought that Raekwon Davis was the answer. But he can't play football. DT is definitely a need.
