Offensively, where should we try to improve? TE is about all, but we can still sign one then draft one in later rounds.
I would think get D and prepare for some more players to be FA's at end of season.
Maybe like DJ Turner (CB) or Jack Campbell or Trent Simpson (LB if we don't get Wilson extended).
basically, we are almost in a really good spot to just go BPA.
I'd love to see them go defense in round 1 at least. There's going to be way too much attrition on that side of the ball in the current offseason and in 2024. They won't be able to to retain all of Reader, Hendrickson, Hilton, and Awuzie. They should get ahead of it now like they did last season when they drafted Hill.
The offense doesn't run enough to invest major draft capital in a running back. Our main guy only got 20 carries a game last season. The team that won the Super Bowl only ran the ball when they absolutely had no choice. Even when effective, KC had zero interest in it until protecting an injured Mahomes became a priority.
TEs won't get much run here, either. I can see more justification if you intend to use a TE to replace Higgins/Boyd in the future, but as an immediate need, it's not there. They could sign a guy like Moreau and draft a mid round guy. The offense shouldn't miss a beat. The o-line should be greatly improved, they receiving corps is the undisputed best in the league, and the quaterback isn't far off. TE just ain't that big of an issue.
