Thuney and Warford

[Whatever]

If you do that, you should have a stud offense but you'll have to go basically full defense in the draft.

Without WJ3 and Lawson, you'd need to get 1-2 CBs (replace WJ3 and Alexander), 2-3 DL (replace Dunlap, Lawson, and heir to Atkins), and maybe 1 LB (replace Bynes/Evans) all in the draft.
If you're spending your 1st round pick on Sewell, you are having to get quality play out of the gate from basically every Rd 2-6 pick.

Are you willing to gamble that much on all those draft picks for defense to contribute as rookies?

This year has made it apparent that there are too many roster holes to be filled in one off-season.  We need to build around Burrow first, evaluate what our big FA adds on defense from this year can do with a full season next year, then fix the D in '22.

Besides 3 starters on the OL, they need a #3, #5, and #6 WR and they need another RB can handle 15-20 carries a game in case Mixon goes down again.  A K that doesn't leave 7 points on the field in the 1st half would be nice,too.
