Also, I think they could end up looking safety. Russell is solid, but upgradeable. There’s a chance that value for their other needs in round 1 might not be there, which could lead to them looking at safety.

I think they’ll definitely add a RB this year. TJ Duckett’s deal is essentially 1 year. Julius Jones contract decreases with each additional year. My hunch is that they want a big 3 running back, but failing that, they may look at a guy like Matt Forte later on.

Guys like Royal and Manningham don’t make much sense. Not impossible, but one would think, considering the WCO, and the loss of Hackett, that size at WR might be the look.

At some point, a QB of the future may be a thought. Maybe not this year, though. A LT of the future may be a thought if the value is right. DT can’t be ruled out with their losses and Tubbs coming off injury, although that’s late, if at all.
