We’ll sign 1-3 more players for depth. Then have the draft where I wouldn’t be surprised to see us trade back for more day 2 picks.

This team is not complete. DT, CB, S, pass rusher, OL, WR, TE. We could add to or upgrade depth at all of these spots.

With the 3 new starters on o line, sign Spain and I’m fine with our o line depth. Guys got valuable experience last year and will be backups this year. If one of them has to start we can survive that. We just can’t have 3-4 of them starting together (although we did make the super bowl with that many playing).

Sign a guy like Nelson at CB and we we will have nice depth there too even without drafting one (which I’d still want to do in the first 3-4 rounds-good CB depth this year).

Then we still could sign a backup 3T to solidify depth there too.

That would leave us with a very similar team to the one we had last year but with a MUCH better o line and solid depth across the board even before the draft.

This sums up my thoughts 100%. Thanks for saving me some time. I'd love to go into this draft comfortable enough to where if someone falls like a Linderbaum, we can take him without worrying too much about CB depth. I've said it in other threads and I'll say it again. We will take a WR early. Maybe not R1, I think we're locked in on Defense according to Malik Wright, but we will take WR in the 2nd or 3rd. May wait till the 4th, but no later. I would be shocked. WR depth hopefully isn't going to be a huge need in '22, but better to be safe than sorry. 

I see TE being a spot we probably look past this draft with the addition of Hurst. I think they like what they got in him. I would love someone like McBride, Woods or Likely though..
