NFC South Draft Needs

New Orleans
1- Outside Linebacker: This was a need before Scott Fujita left. Now it's a huge weakness. It has has to be addressed early in the draft.

2- Defensive Tackle: A big nose type to pair with Sedrick Ellis would make the whole line better.

3- Defensive End: Yes, they signed Alex Brown...but he's not really a difference maker any more. They could still go this route in round 1.

Atlanta
1- Defensive End: Lets call Jamaal Anderson what he is... a bust. Its time to get a real threat opposite of John Abraham.

2- Outside Linebacker: Curtis Lofton is good in the middle but on the outside the Falcons have an aging Mike Peterson, and thats pretty much it. This is a big time need for Atlanta.

3- Interior Offensive Line: A lot of positions could be listed here, but I opted for the interior OLine because a long term center is needed and depth could be used at guard.

Carolina
1- Wide Receiver: Lets give Matt Moore some weapons besides Steve Smith in his first year as starter.

2- Defensive Tackle: Every year it seems people are mocking DT's to Carolina early, but it still remains a weakness. Maybe they'll address it early this year.

3- Quarterback: Matt Moore should be given a fair shot this year but he is no sure thing. A mid round QB project could be used as development and a possible starting job in the future.

Tampa Bay
1- Defensive Line: The Bucs have Stylez G. White( I cant believe I typed that with a straight face) at one DE spot but pretty much nothing else on that line. Impact players at both DT and DE are needed if Tampa's defense is to get better.

2- Wide Receiver: Mike Bradley, Michael Clayton, Reggie Brown, Maurice Stovall....what a batch of mediocrity. Josh Freeman flashed some potential last year but if he is going to take that next step he needs better targets.

3- Cornerback: Aqib Talib is becoming a reliable starter but opposite of him is the very old Ronde Barber. After them is nothing. The Bucs should begin developing some corner talent.
