Offensive Line
Defensive End
Punter
Linebacker
When I say address, I'm talking about using one of our two picks in the first three rounds or a free agent to find a new starter in 2009 (someone not currently on the roster).

Using your requirements, I said O-line (even it will kill us), because:
1) we know we can get a first-class punter in H. Smith
- that's the one FA pick up
2) per all the threads and mock drafts the stud OT's will be gone at 13, and we don't move back because you said no additional picks so we will have to get a LB(Rey) or DE(Orakpu) in the 1st to have a good draft
3) Without Taylor AND Evans, we have to fill the DE in the draft somehow.
4) that leaves OL odd man out playing with an average rightside and above average left if Samuels stays healthy.
Now if we alter the rule and make a 2nd FA pickup(which is possible) and get a decent LB/DE then OT can be addressed this year as well.
