At a glance: QB, WR, OL, DL, CB, S
Offense
Next the roof collapse, the Vikings 2010 post-season hopes were also cause for lament, it became obvious that QB Brett Favre couldn't repeat his amazing 2009 campaign. And with Favre playing erratically, the offense suffered, often relying too heavily on the back of RB Adrian Peterson. Furthermore, the Vikings haven't addressed their long-term QB situation since 'Sir Francis of Tarkenton' left back in '78 and now with the famous #4 (Brett Favre) not coming back for his 21st season, its imperative that the Vikes make a move to get their QB of the future, my guess is they'll grab a reliable veteran signal caller and a "young-gun" to groom behind him. Also, we know WR Berrnard Berrian won't be back next year and with the cloud of 'CBA-uncertainty' looming, we don't yet know if WR Sidney Rice will be back, but even if he isn't, the receiving core leaves a lot to be desired. That said a young wide-out could really help stabilize the loss of Berrian and Rice (if he can/does decides to leave.)
Defense
As for the defense, they automatically have needs on the defensive line as DT Pat Williams & DE Ray Edwards both won't be returning. And despite the fact they signed DE Brian Robinson, they simply lack the versatility and depth needed to dominate opposing offenses. Also, its imperative that they look for secondary help, considering CB Antoine Winfield should be the only player guaranteed a starting role next year.
At a glance: WR, QB, CB, DE, SS
Offense
This squad made a great jump in ability & talent last year after drafting RB Jahvid Best, however slightly regressed when QB Matthew Stafford was unable to stay on the field due to injuries. Which brings me to my next point, after witnessing the sharp decline in talent when Stafford leaves the field, the Lions would do good to protect themselves against this by adding QB depth on the roster instead of gambling each week while Stafford is on the sideline. Furthermore, the Lions seriously lack in real threat via WR excluding of course Calvin Johnson. Therefore, it stands to reason they should go grab another wide-out in this year's draft so they don't seem so one dimensional when it comes to the pass-attack.
Defense
Yes, Ndamkung Suh is everything we thought he'd be and more. Literally this guy (Suh) is to football what Blake Griffin is to basketball; in the sense that you have to know where he is at all times and even though you know what is game plan is, you still can stop him because he seems 'raw' and just naturally gifted at his position. But outside of Suh & FS Louis Delmas, the Lions need help everywhere namely at the DE and CB positions. With Suh in the middle of that D-line, it would seem that anyone you put outside of him at the 5-technique will have success and maybe that true, however adding a solid pass-rushing DE, would down-right make them scary. As for the secondary, they are in real trouble, because CB's Nate Vasher & Alphonso Smith are the only corners under contract next year and CB Chris Houston is a free agent who'll likely not be coming back.
At a glance: OL, WR, DT, DE
Offense
Offensively the Bears got simply got by on their biggest weakness last year, which was their offensive line. Outside of C Olin Kreutz (who is a FA,) no one on this squad may is guaranteed to play let alone start next year (yes that includes: Frank Omiyale, Chris Williams, Roberto Garza & J'Marcus Webb,) so they need to immediately look at getting better up front by drafting O-linemen who can help them control the line of scrimmage. And if the loss to the Packers in the playoffs wasn't motivation enough, expect them to also look for play-makers at the WR position to supplant Devin Hester.
Defense
The Bear defense live and dies by stopping the run and forcing teams to pass the ball, however the release of DT Tommie Harris highlights the Bears need for both run-stuffing and interior pass-rush. Also they would benefit greatly if the could find another DE opposite Julius Peppers, or simple reason of giving him a blow every few plays by building depth behind him and DE Israel Idonije.
At a glance: OT, WR, RB, OLB, DE
Offense
Of course I saved the best for last, that's right, the Super Bowl XLV Champions pick at the end of the first round. And as any fan will tell you, "You're always more critical of your own team than you are of others." The Packers biggest needs will be addressed internally as 15 players come off injuries. That said however, they should continue to grab another OT who could either replace RT Bryan Bulaga or be groomed to replace LT Chad Clifton. Another concern is the receiving core which torched the league last year, WR Donald Driver turns 36yrs old next year and WR James Jones is FA wants to be a starter, meaning he'll probably sign elsewhere.
Defense
Defensively, the squad was hit with bad news when DT/DE Johnny Jolly was recently charged again with a new drug-related charge, keep in mind DE Cullen Jenkins is a FA. So the need for a 3-technique DE is a killer, and although OLB Brad Jones returns from injury, it could be argued our biggest need defensively is a to find a pass-rushing savant opposite the "Claymaker" OLB Clay Matthews.
