My 4th round pick is coming up, but at this point I am pretty close to being done for this offseason. I typically do not draft in later rounds for "need" other than specialists (P/K/PR/KR,gunner, etc), so let's have a look at where we are:
QB set for next 3 years
RB overloaded, maybe, quandary with carries
WR overloaded
TE set with Flowers/Falkenberg
OL set for now, seeking 6th/7th guys for chem/development
P set
K set for now, open to improvement though
DE we are thin, but counting on youngsters to build out from star Hancock
DT fine with Broomfield, Wooden, rookie
ILB fine for now Richardson, Cooley, Strickland, McCarthy maybe re-sign Emerson
OLB Lincoln great but low end, Osborne great but may be sliding to DE, we're thin (will rotate in ILB guys above)
CB decent 5 guys, but they'd be a ton better behind a true #1 guy
S thin with Shireman suddenly my most reliable guy, Dennis is ok
So, basically we should be looking for a quality addition at CB, C, OLB, or maybe DE. On offense, with our new youngsters at WR and a tricky RB situation, we are basically all set to continue as the perennial 5,000 yard pass attack.
I cannot find the guy I want to commit long term money toward, so this offseason will mostly be about re-signings and continuity. I am pursuing a free agent safety, but not with any serious vigor, and could easily get outbid, which would be fine. Past that, the lineup above is basically where we're going to be for this year to defend our improbable title.
