We could really use:
RB depth
2 WRs
An upgrade at RT
At least 2 DEs
At least 1 DT...for sure another NT
Another LB
Another 2 CBs
Another S
That's at least 11 spots that could use starters, an upgrade over current starters or at least depth at the position.

Yeah, I've been dumbfounded by the 'we don't have room for that many players!' argument.
Do we even have 40 dudes under contract right now? I don't think we do. We have plenty of space for those guys.
Here's a way to look at it. The cap accounts for only the top 51 contracts on a roster. And those 7th round picks WON'T be among the top 51 cap hits. That's how little they matter - the league cap structure doesn't even consider those guys when the rubber hits the road.
We have 8 picks. Frankly I think we need about a dozen additions. If anything there's ample cause for adding MORE guys and certainly no roster pressure to turn those 8 into fewer of them.
