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.
Great points on why we might go TE and RB early instead of Defense. Ideally we extend DJ Reader and bring back Apple and Flowers
while adding the players you speak of to beat the Chiefs. I did a Mock yesterday that I loved maybe more than anything, I went with
Darnell Washington, Tyjae Spears and Hunter Luepke on Offense. If our OL continues to get better try stopping Burrow and this
Offense KC....
