I'd like a little infusion of youth on the exterior. Even if Buzbee comes back healthy he's just the White Phillip Daniels...meaning he's a solid player who probably does better against the run than the pass for a DE, but he's not a playmaker in the Dexter Manley mode. Not that Connor Barwin, the guy I'm targeting in the 3rd round, is either actually.
But you know me, I've for the past several weeks said that more than anything I just want this line to consistently play together and I think they'll naturally improve.
For me we need the most change on the interior of the offensive line and at LB (props to EternalEnigma for seeing that need long before many of the rest of us did).
As for Beem's hunch, yeah I think a running back/returner will probably be our 4th pick (maybe 3rd) this draft.
