What I see as a few more realistic adds to a already nice off-season: Jackie Battle (RB), Steve Smith (WR), Vernon Carey (OG), Rocky McIntosh (OLB), Jo-Lunn Dunbar (OLB), William Middleton (CB).

I'd be ecstatic with these additions, some depth, some starters. This would leave us with needs of :

QB (1) backup
RB (1) backup
WR (1-2) starter
TE (1) backup
OG (1) backup
DT (1) starter
OLB (2) starter
CB (1) backup

Those are just main positions, of course we could use more depth at all positions too.

If I were to go through your list and fill in the needs that you outlined, this is the way I'd go:

QB (1) backup- Kellen Clemons; He has plenty of starting experience and is a viable backup and is already familiar with the organization.

RB (1) backup- Justin Forsett; Statistically, Forsett fell off a lot this year with Marshawn Lynch emerging as a "premier" back. He has proved in the past that he is a good runner and is capable of being a spell back to get SJAX a breather from time to time.

WR (1-2) starter- Arrelious Benn has peaked my interest since his days at Illinois. I havent heard anything about the Rams acquiring him, though; I could have missed something though. Anyone know what it will take to get him?

TE (1) backup- Visanthe Shiancoe; the only option

OG (1) backup- I like the options that will be available in the draft at G, especially at the top of round 2

DT (1) starter- Albert Haynesworth; Signing Haynesworth would result in a no lose situation for the rams. His contract would be a 1 year incentive based deal. He will either come in and preform at a servicable level, or he will be unmotivated and will be cut.

OLB (2) starter- Rocky McIntosh and Jo-Lonn Dunbar; Dunbar came for a visit on Thursday I believe, so there must be some interest there. And as for McIntosh, I just always liked him as a player, no real reason outside of that.

CB (1) backup- Bowman

If healthy Marcus Mcneil is very tempting the guy is a pro bowl LT and really help Tomlinson in his last good years in SD
