If we are serious we should be willing to draft a tackle in the 1st round.

Agreed.   There is concern about making the money work for a free agent given the approaching financial needs to keep the team together.   But it still looms as a necessary expense.  It is the number one thing holding this team back.

And I think there is a need to take offensive lineman in the first 2 rounds.   Our line is just killing us - both in the run and the pass.   Volson surprised with his performance, but it was not great.  And I have no idea what his ceiling is.  But you would think we know what we have by now.

And DL is still a need given the inability to get enough pressure on Mahomes.  I personally like the idea of drafting a player who can increase interior pressure.   I think we have good edge guys (though you can always have better).   And the run stopping interior is good.   Just would like another guy in the middle who can both push the pocket and penetrate.
