Satele did improve each year he's been in Oakland but dude was abused on the regular by bigger/stronger NTs. Along the line we will need a Guard or two for sure. Both Gallery and Carlise have had their better days and who can say if Campbell is ready? On defense, if Nnamdi doesn't return then it will be to Mcfadden or Ware to step up as a nickel corner. Not sure if either is ready plus Johnson only has one more year so drafting a corner is a must. But getting a weakside LB is very important too. Groves just isn't the guy. There are plenty of needs but this franchise has been doing very well in the draft lately so I have faith even without a first rounder. I agree that a stronger C is needed.

Satele is too small for anything other rhan a zone scheme and is a FA. #2 need is G. Gallery is a FA and hurt half of the time anyway. Campbell is a huge ?. Carlisle is not a good fit for a change in scheme. #3 need is a tie between a pure OLB and OT. Not a Groves fan and Walker is no All-Pro at RT. We can pick up a veteran WR in FA. Love the pick of Yates. I think ASO and Miller will both be back with the team next year. The key for any success next year will depend on getting the OL right. I will not be easy with new coaches, scheme and players. #1 need is C. Satele is too small for anything other rhan a zone scheme and is a FA. #2 need is G.
