Speaking of just the first round, ILB, DT, OLB and WR are worthy positions. And I doubt anyone feels comfortable enough with the depth on the OL. But I see plenty more positions where the team could fill needs.
Safety - Saw way too much Shiloh Keo. If you think Keo improves, then maybe this is less of a need. I would not bank on it. This need becomes glaring if Quin is not re-signed, or worse, gets injured mid-season.
Tight End - I am done making fun of the Texans for getting that mid-round TE. This offense needs 3 TEs every gameday. If Casey is gone, a free agent at FB can replace him (if Clutts isn't the answer, never saw him play on offense this year), but having just Daniels and Graham isn't enough. Nobody talks about how the team missed Dreesen this season.
Running Back - It's not that I don't like Tate and Forsett, but apparently the Texans don't. Remember all those snaps these two had against the Pats? Me neither. Bound to be a late round pick at this position.
Cornerback - Is Brandon Harris really getting better? Can he make a Kareem-like jump in 2013? Brice McCain should be back, but unless you're a believer in Harris, I don't want to pin any hopes on the likes of Alan Ball filling the need. I subscribe to the theory that drafting a mid-round cornerback every year is a good idea.
