I was having a football discussion with a collegue who happens to be a Broncos fan, and we were comparing the needs of our two teams. After quarterback, I said we need to address our wide receiver corps. He said he thought we needed to address our cornerbacks more than our wide recievers. This got me thinking, which is not always a good thing, other than quarterback, what position do you, Extremeskins family, feel needs to be addressed the most this offseason?

Depth in general. We need players every where. I'm less worried about the offense until we can get a QB. A good QB should make the whole offense better. We need better secondary, better depth along the lines.

I like our depth at TE, RB and even WR (minus the playmaker). Not very excited about our Oline depth, linebacker depth or secondary depth.

I'd like to see us address depth, although how it's addressed depends on the position.

I'd love it if Monty, Lich, and Brown were backups.

I'd love a new WR to push AAA and Moss out.

I'd love to see some young developing talent behind Riley/Fletch.

And we definitely need a starting caliber DB.

I'd say OL - our OL played well as a unit amid a lot of injury but we need to see if we have diamonds in the rough or something less valuable. If Trent isn't a stud yet, he likely will be. The strength of the FA class AND the draft class is in interior OL, but we need a starting RT, unless Smith or Polumbus can be that guy, similar to Lepsis in Denver.

It'd be nice to have a dominant #1 WR, or barring that, a lot of competent 2-3 guys that would allow us to spread the field and get #3-caliber WRs on #5 caliber CBs.

I like Gomes but we could address SS definitely. I think Atogwe will come back strong.

CB is not that much of a concern - Hall is below average but Wilson is actually really good.

Overall we just need more depth.

Take your pick. The priority would be the OL and DB's, but we're somewhere in the region of around 20 players needing replacing, starters and depth, to get to a position to compete and challenge over 16 games.

I fully expect a 25% or so roster turnover again this off-season, with similar probably in 2013.

A LOT of work still needs to be done yet.

Hail.

I honestly believe that a good QB will dramatically change things on that side of the ball. I really want to see a high caliber CB play next to Wilson. I would like to see the D jump into the top 10 this season.

If no RG3 and we are stuck at 6, I am all for one of the top 2 CBs.

Tough. But, as far as I know, RT is VERY up in the air. Jammal Brown might not be back and, even if he is, how much can we count on him? Polmus and other options are fine as depth, but I'd feel a lot better with a solid right tackle.

I really want a beastly offensive line. We can either get a stud QB and two stud WRs and have them play below their potential behind a mediocre OL or we can stock on the O-line and let guys like Hankerson and Helu play over their heads.

according the poll results i appear to be the only person concerned about MLB. i mean Fletcher is really good, but really old. Riley and Rocky are meh... ok.

sure we need OL help, but a RT and interior linemen can easily be fixed w/ mid round picks and FA.

CB is obviously a big concern but how many 1st round picks can really throw at DB's?

Finally WR is a luxury that we can't afford, seeing as we don't have a QB or an OL. i really like Hankerson and Niles and if we have a similar draft as last year at this position i think our WR's would still be ahead of our QB.

In my mind a young MLB is an absolute must in the first 2 rounds in this years draft. I'd also be ok w/ trading down and getting a DB. but please don't get a DB @ #6.

Apparently we love Riley. I think he'll be a starter for years, even if we move to a 4-3 one day. As far as FA to fill holes, middle linebacker is flush in free agency. Fletcher, Stephen Tulloch, D'Quell Jackson, Curtis Lofton, Dan Connor, David Hawthorne, Kirk Morrison... I think Henson is coming back this year and we'll see how he looks as a back up, but I'm not worried about MLB this offseason.

It's got to be:

OT-Jamaal Brown is awful and Trent is a big question mark

OG-Between Licht and Chester I hope we have 1 capable guard

S- Even if Landry were to re-sign this is a top 6 need given the lack of health of him and Atogwe

CB- Hall is so overrated and we have nothing else behind Josh Wilson

C- Monty either needs to be re-signed or upgraded (Chris Myers), also we don't have anything behind him.

WR- Our receivers are passable, but this is probably the last year for both Moss and Gaffney meaning we need some quality youth

DL- Carriker might not be brought back so we need some quality depth

ILB- Even with Fletcher coming back we could use a nice young guy to develop

More depth on the offensive line will be needed. We just seem unlucky every year and at one point in the season we always seem to have two starters out.

Then id go with secondary help. If we resign laron and he stays healthy our depth at safety is okay. If we found another josh wilson in free agency that would be great.

We need help at WR but i think a competent QB would actually make do with our receivers if Hankerson plays the way he was before the injury. But this isn't a sure thing, i think shanny will address the WR problem through the draft.

Picked CB. With WR I sort of wonder who's going to be throwing to them. Little point in stacking our WR corp if every other throw gets picked off or flies north by a few miles. Oline is important, but it's more than one position that we have a problem with. That and the fact that again, beefing up the Oline will only do so much in terms of wins without the QB.

Meanwhile, if we can get this whole safety debacle under control, we're one solid CB from being a top 10 defense. Our front 7 is pretty solid, but our CB corp needs one more top guy in addition to Hall. Preferably someone who can actually run with the Bryants of the league.

I think we get more wins from adding an elite CB than from adding any other single player in any other single position.

OL. With the exception of left tackle, the rest of the OL is best suited for depth, but not starters. RT first, Center second, LG third. You can't them all in a single season, but it would be nice if you could get two, either through FA or the draft doesn't matter.

WR and CB right behind that.
