With the 2015 fast approaching, Bucky Brooks is breaking down the biggest areas of need for every team in the NFL, division by division. Below is his look at the NFC North. (NOTE: Click on tabs to see other divisions; click on team names to see a full list of draft picks.) Biggest needs: Receiver, outside linebacker, safety. The could get back to their defense-centric ways under John Fox. The wily head coach traditionally uses his initial picks on blue-chip pa s rushers when he takes over a franchise (see: , who went second overall to the in 2002, and , who went second overall to the in 2011), and the are in desperate need of a 3-4 edge presence, with new coordinator Vic Fangio heading up the defense. An electric defender like Clemson's or Mi souri's would certainly fit the bill as a rush OLB. The have failed to sufficiently fill their safety need over the past decade, despite expending a number of draft picks on potential candidates. Alabama's is the cream of the current crop; an underrated playmaker like Arizona State's could be an option on Day 2. If the elect to replace traded-away veteran with a blue-chip pa s catcher, Alabama's and West Virginia's are the likely candidates. Chicago could look for a value pa s catcher on Day 2, which would make USC's or ECU's potential fits. Biggest needs: Defensive tackle, offensive tackle, cornerback. Recently acquired veteran will be an effective short-term solution, but the still must addre Johnny Bench Jersey s the defensive tackle position after losing both and during free agency. Detroit could target a dynamic interior defender like Florida State's , Texas' or Oklahoma's to fill the void. At cornerback, the would certainly love to find a young ball-hawk to play opposite . Wake Forest's , Washington's and LSU's would be ideal Day 1 candidates, while Utah's or Florida State's could be pinpointed as Day 2 value picks. Offensively, the must identify a developmental edge blocker to build around. Florida's , Pittsburgh's and Texas A&M's are athletic blockers with the potential to eventually play on the blind side. Biggest needs: Inside linebacker, nose tackle, cornerback. General manager Ted Thompson is one of the best in the busine s on draft day. He routinely snags solid players with the athleticism and skill to develop into long-term starters. Most importantly, Thompson finds guys who fit the ' schemes on both sides of the ball. Defensively, Green Bay needs a rugged inside linebacker with instincts and a strong nose for the ball. Mi si sippi State's and UCLA's make sense; the could also eye Miami's or TCU's on Day 2. Even after re-signing , Green Bay should be in the market for an athletic nose tackle capable of stopping the run and collapsing the pocket on pa sing downs -- a role for which Oklahoma's and Florida State's are prime candidates. The lo s of former CB in free agency didn't garner many headlines, but the departure could prompt Thompson to target an athletic cover corner like Connecticut's , Stanford's or Ohio State's on Day 2. Biggest needs: Cornerback, linebacker, running back. Entering his second year on the job, coach has already transformed the into a gritty, hard-nosed squad that matches his personality, but he needs a few more playmakers on both sides of the ball to compete in the NFC North. Michigan State's would be a nice complement to at corner. Zimmer could also set his sights on a long, rangy corner with a bit of attitude, like Washington's or Florida State's . Minnesota also needs a rugged inside linebacker to fortify the middle: UCLA's and Miami's are certainly intriguing as borderline Day 1 selections. Depending on how the saga plays out, the could wind up parting ways with the perennial er on draft day, leading them to target a potential replacement. Boise State's , South Carolina's and Minnesota's are targets as value selections. Follow Bucky Brooks on Twitter . Benito Santiago Jersey
