Team needs

Arizona Cardinals: With Joey Porter leaving as a free agent and another veteran, Clark Haggans, facing an uncertain future, the only question is how high Arizona takes a linebacker.

Green Bay Packers: Green Bay ranked last in yards allowed (411.6) and passing yards (299.8). Finding a strong complement to dynamic Clay Matthews III can change that in a hurry.

Kansas City Chiefs: Kansas City finished 26th against the run, something new coach Romeo Crennel will not allow to happen again. Run-stuffing Luke Kuechly might look great in red.

New York Giants: The defending Su- per Bowl champs have been rewarded by GM Jerry Reese’s insistence on drafting for ability rather than for need. But he won’t wait until the sixth round to draft a linebacker as he did in 2011.

New York Jets: Potent linebackers have long been part of Rex Ryan’s defensive success. With age affecting that unit, he needs fresh legs.

Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles filled a huge void by acquiring Demeco Ryans from the Houston Texans to play middle linebacker. Look for them to further address a glaring weakness.
