2007 DRAFT NEEDS

presented by

So here they are.  A team-by-team analysis of franchise needs for the coming NFL draft.  To accomplish this 32-team task, we've enlisted the help of Matt Miller of NewEraScouting.com, who'll assist us in identifying the areas where the various teams need to add bodies.

Our goal is to add one new team per day, starting March 18 and continuing through April 20.  Since the draft doesn't start until April 28, it gives us a built-in buffer of eight days, in the event we fall behind at some point in the process.

1.  Oakland Raiders (March 18, 2007).

2.  Detroit Lions (March 19, 2007).
