1. Have to spend money on 1 high end CB: my choice is Fuller, or Talib if he become available and does not demand top money.
2. ILB - Anthony Hitchens, under-rated and can play inside or outside.
Navarro Bowmen, run-stuffer who would improve our run D.
Sign-em both.
3. Love to have Trey Burton, but I think he will only want a path to a starting job.
4. One of the guards....Norwell way to much $$$.
Use draft picks on a WR, DT, S/CB.

For discussion sake what do you think Sammy Watkins is going to earn next season? Highly touted draft pick but has shown an inability to stay healthy, and on a very good Rams team last season was 4th on his own team with under 600 receiving yards (about 40 yards per game)- 8 TD's though. Roughly 55% catch percentage only on 70 targets, none of these stats suggest #1 receiver type.
Maybe there is a team who is willing to throw big money at him- I wouldn't be surprised if Watkins signs a short term "prove-it" deal so that he can command a better, bigger contract 1-2 years down the road. Sammy might not be as expensive as people think.
