My team? The Bengals, so the list is long. Defensive linemen and offensive linemen. A pass-rusher (although a decent line could allow lanes to open for existing linebackers, admittedly). A wide receiver, now that TJ is going to be elsewhere (as I predicted). A fullback. If Palmer's arm isn't better, then a quarterback. If they don't resign Cedric Benson, then a running back. Solid at corner, safety, tight end, and linebacker I think. Priority one is a center though, no question about it.

The Steelers need offensive lineman. A bunch of them. Not only are the ones we have not that good, although they improved towards the end of the year, but 5 of our veterans are up for free agency. No way in hell are the Steelers going to be able to keep all of them...not that they'd want to. We could use another wide receiver, Limas Sweed hasn't been impressive, CATCH THE DAMN BALL!, Nate Washington is a free agent this year and Hines Ward has one year left on his contract. Cornerback is another issue. Deshea Townsend isn't getting any younger, and has a year left on his contract, and Bryant McFadden is a free agent. A defensive lineman wouldn't hurt. Back up quarterback might also be an issue with both Batch and Leftwich being free agents.

a couple..
Randall Gay is one year from being ready to start, imo, if not ready. We should be able to keep Batch, Leftwich played well enought to get on with another team as a starter I think. O-Line top priority, Then a CB that is raw but can be made a Steeler (say 4th round) D-Line. Then a 5th or 6th round monster fullback. Sweed will come around this year.

All of this correct.

Well in the Falcons' defense they did set an NFL record for fewest total punt return yards in a season at 49. That's really good. Our punter is Michael Koenen, he's played for us since he was a rookie. He's pretty good.
Other free agents: Tyson Clabo, Keith Brooking, Lawyer Milloy, Grady Jackson, Justin Peelle, Domonique Foxworth.

49 Total yards?!? I'd probably put the tag on him too. Good punters are hard to come by. Just ask the Steelers.

Yep 49 total yards. NFL record. I think alot of credit should go to him as well as our special teams overall; his other stats have been better in the past. (average yards per punt, etc etc)

The Steelers tagged Max Starks with the franchise tag again this year. They did it last year and then benched him, the only reason he played was because Marvel Smith went down. I don't get it.
