If for some reason Clay Matthews, Everette Brown, B.J. Raji, and Jeremy Maclin are available at #15 - I don't know if ANY of the FA signings will preclude us from drafting the player we had ranked highest.

No, but each of those signings made it less likely that we would reach for one of those positions or try to maneuver in the draft in order to get to a position. Each move allows a little more freedom on draft day.

I'd go as far as to say only RB and OC/OG absolutely must be addressed on draft day. Certainly there are many things I'd like to see but those are the only two positions where we really don't have quality NFL depth.
