Lou is in control of the team. He runs it.

Not a lot of options to improve the O,
Skills positions are Check.
And we got one more that can compete for LG. So OL check.
The O finished in the top half of the league, and with the OL upgrades, shouldn't be a problem to finish in the top 10.
Defense finished average (but put on a show during playoffs), so more help needed there and a great year to need backfield help.
Next you, either we go heavy O, to prepare for losses or we can do a more balanced attack, then in 2024 heavy O.

Gunter I think at 7 was very good. He’s got a ton of upside and no investment

Any player picked Rd 5 or later really isn't a big investment at all.
Most Rd 5 players just end up being role players/depth, if they make the roster at all.

After listening to the podcasts with Duke and Mike Potts as guests, going this heavy on defense wasn't their plan. They both mentioned that there were runs on positions they didn't expect.

Hope Jeff can handle being so far from home lol

Yep they were interested in Romeo Doubs WR/PR in the 4th but he was gone.

and get washed out of the League. Happens all the time. You can work on your strength, but man do you really have to work to
improve your hands, athleticism and bend. Most cannot ever work enough to improve these things enough to remain in the NFL.
Just you all wait till I put up 25 reps of 225.. I'll have triple and quadtriple hernias and two broken arms!
