Fantasy drafted team, any suggestions?

I recently did a fantasy draft with the Titans, and I was looking for suggestions on what to look for in the draft next year.

QB: Carson Palmer, 91 OVR (my favorite QB in Madden, great arm and can progress to be an elite QB if you have a season with few INTs)

HB: LaDainian Tomlinson, 88 OVR
HB: Felix Jones, 81 OVR
Explanation: I picked Tomlinson because I wanted a good, aging HB that could start/share carries for a year or two while Jones progresses to become elite. Not to mention Jones has injury problems

FB: Lorenzo Neal, 91 OVR

WR: Greg Jennings 92 OVR
WR: Michael Crabtree 79 OVR
WR: Jarett Dillard 71 OVR (rookie, possession WR)
WR: Johnny Knox 71 OVR (rookie, speed WR)
(Obviously I have a very young WR corp, but I've got an established WR, a rookie with A potential, and two #3 WRs who I can swap based on how much yardage I need)

TE: James Casey, 72 OVR (rookie, A potential)

LT: Jake Long, 91 OVR
LG: Mike Goff, 77 OVR
C: Jason Brown, 90 OVR
RG: Leonard Davis, 92 OVR
RT: Ryan Tucker, 76 OVR

LE: Larry English, 84 OVR (I run a 4-3 defense so he's a pass rusher)
DT: Fred Robbins, 88 OVR
DT: Forgot his name, 77 OVR
RE: Osi Yumenyiora, 94 OVR

LOLB: James Laurinitis, 76 OVR (MLB, I know, but he's good in coverage and I forgot to draft a second starting OLB)
MLB: Demeco Ryans, 88 OVR
ROLB: Will Witherspoon, I forget his OVR

CB: Darelle Revis, 97 OVR (beast, effectively removes the other team's #1 WR, held Fitz to 1 catch for 11 yards)
CB: Mike Jenkins, 79 OVR
CB: Samari Rolle, 72 OVR
CB: Mike Mickens, 66 OVR

FS: Luis Delmas, 77 OVR
SS: Brandon Meriweather, 77 OVR

K: David Beuhler, 64 OVR (95 KPW, A potential)
P: Tyler Morested (I think?): 74 OVR (96 KPW)

I think my primary focus on the draft will be the OL, along with DT (Fred Robbins is on his contract year and getting old) and OLB.

I'd replace LT. Regardless of how good Jones becomes, when LT goes, you'll still want a solid #2 behind Felix.

Frankly, i'd trade LT now for picks, before he becomes valueless.

Oh, and Lo Neal is probably going to retire on you. Just so you know.

Re: Fantasy drafted team, any suggestions?

Yea, I drafted Neal knowing he would retire in a year. I got a draft class with a good FB though, so I will be able to replace him in the draft.

LT is doing well right now (460 yards, 5.0 YPC and 4 TDs after 5 games), so I'll probably keep him for the rest of this season and trade him in the off-season. I'm planning on drafting a good power HB as well so he'll be able to back up Jones and take the goalline carries.

Thanks for the input guys.

If you want a power back, i'd deal LT for Shonn Greene and picks. 73 overall, but can truck with the best of them. Also, A for potential. I simmed him up to an 86 once.
