For some teams, Draft Day 2009 is a chance to fill in holes or replace parts in a unit that already contains the formula for success. For others, that day is a chance to find new, young talent that will help rebuild their team from the ground up. Here's a look, in my opinion, of how the teams of the AFC North can best utilize this draft:          

Cleveland Browns: Nothing has gone right for the Browns this offseason. Tight end Kellen Winslow was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, linebacker Willie McGinest is expected to retire, Dante Stallworth is being tried for vehicular manslaughter, and the list goes on. Cleveland's most pressing need is finding a reliable replacement for McGinest, though. Unfortunately for the Browns, the only linebacker in the draft potentially worth a fifth-overall pick is Wake Forest's Aaron Curry, and it's extremely unlikely that he will fall that far. Their next best option would be looking to one of the USC three: Brian Cushing, Clay Matthews, or Ray Maualuga to fill the position. Don't be surprised, however, if the Browns decide to take a receiver like Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree, to address their multiple receiver issues.

Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals have had issues with Carson Palmer's protection over the years, and it's shown through his injuries. They really need to, and probably will, address that problem in the upcoming draft. With the addition of Laveraneus Coles in the offseason to offset the loss of T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Palmer still has a reliable bunch of receivers to throw to, and if Cedric Benson can stay at the level he was performing for the latter half of 2008, the Bengals should be looking at a fairly explosive offense this year. Ideally, the Bengals would love to get Virginia's Eugene Monroe or Baylor's Jason Smith to help out their line, but they may have to drop to Alabama's Andre Smith, should the Detroit Lions wind up taking an offensive lineman at the number one spot.

Baltimore Ravens: Rookie coach Jim Harbaugh and rookie quarterback Joe Flacco experienced success unrivaled by any other rookie tandem in NFL history. Unfortunately, with the departure of defensive coordinator Rex Ryan and several key defensive players, the Ravens will be hard-pressed to continue that success in the upcoming season. First, though, Flacco needs a target. The defense carried the Ravens through the playoffs last year, and it was obvious. Derrick Mason is too old to be considered a viable threat anymore. Maryland's Derrius Heyward-Bey could be a good choice to groom as Mason's successor. Should the Ravens choose to address their defensive needs instead, they will likely look at their linebackers. Terrell Suggs has yet to work out a long-term deal and Ray Lewis is one of the oldest players on the team now. Baltimore will need to look at getting some new talent such as Maualuga or Cushing to ease the pressure.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Pittsburgh's biggest weakness throughout 2008 was their offensive line. Ben Roethlisberger was hit hard every game throughout the season, and the Steelers will need to address this if they want a chance at repeating. Arizona's Eben Britton is probably the most talented offensive tackle that will be available when the Steelers pick last overall (32nd) in the first round. As with many of the league's best defenses, though, the Steelers are starting to struggle with age. However, this need is not yet a pressing one, so look for them to address this issue in the later rounds of the draft.
