There aren't many players at 28 that step in and play right now and be difference makers. TE or RB are two that could and would pay dividends for years. There are those players in abundance at 28, so there might be their flavor waiting to be selected and flip that 3 point loss to a win. At #28 a cover corner or DE/DT likely would sit in 2023, then hopefully be starters in 2024 and play well enough to take down Mahomes. WR would be great for 2024, not so much this year. OT or OG likely sits in 2023 and might be backups in 2024. So the case is there for a TE or RB for extra juice right now, then use later rounds to flesh out Dline and secondary.
Agreed. With better OL depth/health OR Boyd healthy, we win last year.
Pass rush help, especially on the interior, would help. But outside of Carter/Kancey, you don't have a lot of that with this year's class. Bresee has the tools. Adebewore as well..Not the production.
Ends like Murphy or White or Tuipulotu would help, I think. Murphy is a Rd 1 guy, White is borderline. Tuli Rd 2.
Another corner would help. Banks or Forbes. Brents,,Stevenson, Miss, or Trice later would be nice.
As would another weapon on O: Mayer, Kincaid, LaPorta, Kraft, Musgrave, Gibbs, Flowers. All Rd 1-2 probably. WR depth later.
As would better OT depth, though I think IOL could use it more (short term) than OT.
