If we reach for players based on need, I could see us really blowing this draft. One bad draft can set you back a ways, as we've seen in the past.

IMO, we absolutely have to draft BPA. In round 1 we should be looking at corner, TE, oline, dline primarily. BPA is the way. I really don't want to see us reaching for an offensive lineman that isn't going to be a quality starter at some point.

IMO, a successful franchise must hit on at least a couple picks every draft or they will start to fall apart.

In order to set ourselves up for BPA, we absolutely need to make some moves in FA. Address the offensive line. Bring back as many players as we can.

One draft does not set you back years, but a 2 or 3 could
