With the 2017 around the corner, former NFL scout Bucky Brooks and 's Conor Orr are breaking down the biggest areas of need for every team in the NFL, division by division. Below is Bucky's look at the AFC North.

Baltimore Ravens (7 total picks)

禄 Round 1: Pick 16 overall
禄 Round 2: Pick 47
禄 Round 3: Picks 74 (from Eagles) and 78
禄 Round 4: Pick 122
禄 Round 5: Pick 159
禄 Round 6: Pick 186 (from 49ers)

Biggest needs: Wide receiver, pass rusher, cornerback.

The retirement of Steve Smith Sr. leaves the Ravens without a WR1 to feature in the passing game. Clemson's and Western Michigan's could fill the void as traditional big-bodied, physical targets. Or the team could gamble on Washington's maturing into a T.Y. Hilton-like playmaker on the outside. If the Ravens focus on defense, they could add a dynamic edge rusher like Michigan's or Tennessee's on Day 1. Baltimore also could target an underrated Day 2 prospect like Youngstown State's or Kansas State's . At cornerback, Ohio State's , Alabama's and Florida's and could be ideal prospects to occupy the CB2 spot opposite Jimmy Smith.

Cincinnati Bengals (11 total picks)

禄 Round 1: Pick 9 overall
禄 Round 2: Pick 41
禄 Round 3: Pick 73
禄 Round 4: Picks 116 and 138 (compensatory selection)
禄 Round 5: Picks 153 and 176 (compensatory selection)
禄 Round 6: Picks 193 and 217 (compensatory selection)
禄 Round 7: Picks 227 and 251 (compensatory selection)

Biggest needs: Linebacker, defensive end, running back.

The Bengals aren't afraid to take chances on troubled prospects with exceptional talent, which is why their draft board typically features more blue-chip prospects than others. On Day 1, the team could target Alabama linebacker -- who was after getting into an argument with a student hospital worker -- to play alongside Vontaze Burfict between the tackles. If the Bengals wait until Day 2 to address the position, Vanderbilt's or LSU's could be plug-and-play starters. At defensive end, the Bengals could target Tennessee's or UCLA's on the draft's opening night. Villanova's and Texas A&M's are notable Day 2/Day 3 candidates. Running back could get some play, as Jeremy Hill has averaged less than four yards per carry in each of the past two seasons. Florida State's is a first-round option. Cincy also could have its eye on Oklahoma's or South Florida's on Day 2.

Cleveland Browns (11 total picks)

禄 Round 1: Picks 1 overall and 12 (from Eagles)
禄 Round 2: Picks 33 and 52 (from Titans)
禄 Round 3: Pick 65
禄 Round 4: Pick 108
禄 Round 5: Picks 145, 175 (from Patriots) and 181 (compensatory selection)
禄 Round 6: Picks 185 and 188 (from Texans through Bears)

Biggest needs: Defensive end, quarterback, offensive tackle.

The Browns need to add blue-chip players to the roster on both sides of the ball. While quarterback is frequently cited as the team's biggest need, the 2017 class lacks a sure-fire franchise talent at the position who's worthy of coming off the board as the first overall pick. Thus, Texas A&M DE is the slam-dunk pick at No. 1. He checks all the boxes as an elite prospect (athleticism, character and production) -- no need to overthink it. The Browns could consider Clemson's , North Carolina's , Notre Dame's , Texas Tech's or Cal's with one of their next three picks (Nos. 12, 33 and 52 overall). If Cleveland doesn't believe Cameron Erving is the right man for the job at right tackle, the team could target Wisconsin's , Alabama's or Utah's early.

Pittsburgh Steelers (8 total picks)

禄 Round 1: Pick 30 overall
禄 Round 2: Pick 62
禄 Round 3: Picks 94 and 105 (compensatory selection)
禄 Round 4: Pick 135
禄 Round 5: Pick 173
禄 Round 6: Pick 213
禄 Round 7: Pick 248

Biggest needs: Pass rusher, linebacker, tight end.

The Steelers are missing blue-chip performers at the backbone position of their defense -- outside linebacker -- so it is imperative that they find an impact pass rusher in the draft to remain a playoff contender. James Harrison can't play forever. Given the priority of the position, the Steelers could make a run at any of the possible candidates who could be within range near the bottom of the first round. Missouri's , Michigan's , Temple's and Alabama's offer some intriguing skills. At inside linebacker, the team needs to replace the departed Lawrence Timmons. Pittsburgh could hone in on a rock-solid tackling machine like Ohio's , LSU's or Illinois' in the later rounds. On offense, the team needs to find a big-time TE1 to occupy the middle of the field in the passing game. Miami's would be the ideal candidate, given his size/speed combination, but he might not be around when the Steelers go on the clock. The team could target Ashland's or Michigan's as traditional tight end prospects on Day 2.
