9. A heavy defense-first draft class
Adding all the picks in the world won’t help if they don’t make the right choices, though. General manager Marty Hurney needs to focus on defense, especially in the early rounds. He should consider using his first three or four picks on the best defensive prospects on the board. Unless a playmaker simply jumps out and demands to be taken, defense needs to be the No. 1 priority in this draft class.
