Here are the results from our online poll: Edge rusher (40%) — 92 votes Cornerback (15%) — 35 votes Safety (15%) — 34 votes Offensive line (13%) — 30 votes Interior defensive line (10%) — 22 votes Other (7%) — 17 votes Here’s what some fans told us (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar): Draft the best player available ala Jonathan Ogden, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Kyle Hamilton. — Allyns Best position, no contest!

It is necessary to have excellent subs to rotate in the game. — John Blake The best player available is the way to go here. — Linda Tight end if they trade Mark Andrews. He would have to be the best TE in the draft. — Randolph I leave it to the discretion of GM Eric DeCosta and staff. The NFL draft is a moving butterfly effect where choices are made, in large measure based on what other teams ahead of them do. That said, it will surely be a defensive player. — czechm8d The best player available. — Tim Wide receiver. — Paul The Baltimore Sun reader poll is an unscientific survey in which website users volunteer their opinions on the subject of the poll.
