Depends on Free Agency though, I completely agree with you if we don't pick up a DT or a RT in FA, but I am sure we will pick both up.

Bowers could really take our Offense to another level along with our OL coming along in front of a healthy Burrow. Mayer was decent as a 
rookie last year as well, just not near as good as LaPorta who was a fantastic grab by the Lions.
