I would say the teams needs in the draft/FA (huh, Thompson spend money? Ha!) are as follows:
1)LT- Self explanatory, I think Clifton is done, he's a backup, no way can he hold up 16 games, or even 8 games now. Besides Clifton, there are NO other viable options, unless you really think (Clubber) Lang has any potential to survive there. They may have to do another Bruce Wilkerson option (LT for most of the '96 season) and just give into another aging vet, somebody like Tra Thomas (which is probably an upgrade compared to last year). If they draft, they better be spot on, because they NEED someone this year to play now.
2)RT- At least they have "options" from what the team is saying, even though they are crap. Lang, Giacomini, and Barbre have a shot, but I think I've seen enough from them to call them trash. Who knows though, I could be wrong.
3)CB- Al Harris was showing his age before the injury. Had some great seasons prior, but ever since his spleen injury, just wasn't the same. If he can come back and play, great. But I don't think he'll ever be close to what he was before the injury. I think Tramon Williams is a viable starter in the NFL. While they have some younger options, I think this team should compete again for the playoffs next year, and they should invest in a veteran CB.
4)P-I'm still baffled in why they dropped Jon Ryan.
5)LG- They should ditch Colledge, move Spitz over, Wells at C. Simple as that. If they still want Spitz at center, then this becomes more of a need.
6)Safety- Never been a big fan of Atari Bigby. I think he's too slow in their system. He's a stop gap for right now, but they should look now for his future replacement. Might be the best draft in a while for safeties.
7)DE/DT-They just need depth, whether that comes from Harrell finally playing, or getting another veteran. They're a court case and one injury away from being in trouble.
