What do you expect out of your first-round pick?
Our first-round pick has to have a big impact on our team. The more the first-round pick continues to be an impact player, the better we're going to get. We could still use an impact player at linebacker and on the backend (but) we'd be hard-pressed to take a receiver or a running back in the first round. ...

btw, "backend" presumably means a defensive back.
I think the needs at LB are obvious, but I still shake my head at the team's apparent disregard for a third down pass rushing RDE. Maybe they don't think they need to spend a first rounder on one, or maybe Kubiak is purposefully forgetting to include that here in his answer.
