I'm really not sure if we should go after a QB or not in the draft. But improving our line and our defense is something I think we can accomplish this off season, so we should prioritize it.
OL/DB/WR are the #1's for me IMO. I might be okay with Bridgewater if he falls but other than that nn a running QB, we have Pryor if we want to develop a hybrid threat, and he's shown some promise, even throwing. In our current state, we're not set up to get a young QB and develop them because we have weak pass protection and no #1 WR. Streeter is a great target, Holmes is a respectable #3/4, and Denarius Moore is another okay #2 option, but we don't have a guy that can break it for huge gains. If we can draft a fast slot WR with a mid round pick (3-5, we should use #1 on OT or a defensive stud and #2 on CB) that should shore up our biggest offensive weakness, which was that we had no spark from anyone except Pryor. As soon as he started to stall out there was nobody to pick up the momentum, and we crashed and burned a lot.
Of course, this all depends on how good we think Watkins is going to be. If the staff sees him as the next great WR, we should definitely try to get him. Just look at how far Calvin Johnson has taken the Lions.

Between Jennings and this new guy I think we're okay for RBs. Get a 3rd stringer from somewhere and have him contribute on special teams. If we get a vet CB, vet OL, and vet WR, we go into the draft with very few critical needs and can afford to draft the best players available. But it would also mean that our first pick is 100% QB.
I'd rather get a vet QB like Matt Cassel and draft a young OL/CB/WR early in the draft and wait for a QB class that I like more to come around.
