I saw this on ESPN today, and thought it was a good idea to focus on the depth chart right now. So a high five to Rich Cimini who is for the most part, concentrating on football this Spring, which means I'm starting to enjoy some aspects of his work again.
So first of all lets make it clear that this is not going to be the final roster we go into the season with. I still believe we'll either add some players that are cut like Jackson or Johnson, and obviously we need to add our draft class on top. However I think it's obvious to anyone who knows the roster, where our weaknesses are.

Looking at this, it immediately makes me thankful that we have 12 selections in the upcoming draft. We need better depth on the offensive line, we need some depth at inside linebacker. We need some talent at the WR, TE, CB and S positions. I wouldn't mind a new punter either, as well as a shiny new outside linebacker. There is some talent on this roster, there is also a lot of players who could really do something, players with some untapped potential.
Looking at our depth chart right now, what do you think? Does it change your perception on where we need to go in the draft? Personally looking at that depth chart, the main area of concern for me is the cornerback position. This defense that Rex trots out on a weekly basis relies heavily on its corners performing, and I'm really not comfortable with a combination of Milliner and Walls.
