On a positive note, the offense is really starting to click. Just imagine how good it would be if we didn't waste 3 top 10 picks in the past 4 seasons!
If we could somehow manage to get a legit #2 WR and a TE that can stretch the field in the offseason, this side of the ball will be all set. An upgrade on the O-line would be nice as well, but when healthy, these guys are ok. I'd much rather focus on the D side of the ball.
The defence needs a lot of help. We need a pass rushing end (Edwards is a bust), a run stopping MLB (maybe Lehman if he can stay healthy and gain more upper body strength), a physical #2 CB (Bryant is a decent tackler, if he can stay healthy, but I'd be much happier with him as the #3), solid nickel and dime CBs (Smith and Wilson haven't shown anything, and don't even mention Fletcher) and a ball hawking, coverage S would be nice (I like Bullucks, Holt is a good depth guy and Kennedy is decent against the run, but sucks in coverage).
