With the regular season hitting its stretch run, Niner Noise takes a look at the top NFL Draft needs for each team around the league in 2018.

The 2018 NFL Draft is a ways away, but we’re getting a pretty good idea what each team’s needs will be this offseason.

2017 has been full of surprises, to put it lightly, making interesting situations for teams trying to stay at the top as well as those in either rebuild or reload mode. The draft provides a chance for each franchise to get younger and/or find upgrades at various positions.

Some teams, like the San Francisco 49ers, have a plethora of needs across the board. Others, on the other hand, might need help at just a handful of positions.

In this slideshow, we’ll break down the top needs for each team across the NFL. Sure, a lot can change between now and the start of the draft in late April. There’s free agency, the worrying loom of serious injuries and potential trades to be had.

But for now, let’s take a look the biggest NFL Draft priorities for each franchise heading into 2018.
