Next biggest need IMO is both CB and safety help, and I am praying that one of Jackson/Haden/Wilson/Thomas/Mays fall that far...and they have had remarkable luck having those scenarios happen just like that the last few years. And I dont care which one of those guys it is, as the CB position is really tenuous at best this year with Woodson a year older and harris coming off major knee surgery. At S I love Collins but I am no fan of Bigby's...and I dont understand the love he gets at all. Big hitter but thats about it, and a guy they have to upgrade on at some point.
After that it would be one more OLB that can pass rush after Kampmans departure, and a RB that can push Grant/Jackson. They also absolutely have to repair the punting game....but they are addressing that through FA.
So I see them drafting
2 OL (LG and a LT)
2 DB's (any combo of S and CB)
1 DL (not a nose tackle)
1 RB
1 LB (Pass Rusher)
1 QB (Only 2 on the roster right now but I have a feeling there will be one found in FA as well)

Totally agreed on Bigby, he gets abused in coverage. Regardless of whether bigby comes back or not, depth at the position is a concern after what we saw last year
They need to get another OLB, jones is prefectly suited for the back-up, great value for a 7th rounder, but not someone who demands the respect on the other team's gameplan.
I think one of the biggest questions with getting someone at the OL, either a G or LT, is what do you see lang projected as? Is he a guard, or is he a T?
Its hard to judge when they will pick the DB, because of Lee, TT might give it one more year before using a 2nd rounder or higher for a DB. I can see a 3rd rounder used on CB/returner.
More help is needed at DE, which can probably be addressed with a 5-6 rounder.
All in all, i think they target:
1. OLB/OL (if one of the top 2 CB's drops, i dont know if they can pass it up, and they trade up in the 2nd round for an OLB that drops)
2. S/CB
3. CB/RB/S
4. CB/OL
5. QB/OL
6. DE
7. BPA
