The priority HAS to be OL. That makes the offense go. Protects Burrow. Opens holes for Mixon & Gio. WRs and TEs will put up better numbers. Keeping the ball longer & scoring more will also help the D.
I would not read too much into ZT's comments. The only positions that are not a "playmaker" are DT and OL.
Plus FA is before the draft. If we can sign a stud OT & OG in FA, then we can look to fill other holes in the draft. If we do not sign a stud OT and Sewell is there, we will take him.
But passing on a stud (not a mediocre) OT to hope that Sewell is there would be risky. Bird in hand and all.
This.
We have so many needs that there's no way all will be addressed in one offseason. Maybe two if things go well. Of all the issues, the OL is the most glaring and had been a problem for way too long. The quarterback most be protected at all costs.
