and we value draft picks more than about any other team. Us being a little more aggressive wouldn't be a bad thing at all. We depend
on rookies a ton as well which usually isn't a good plan if you are wanting to win the entire thing.

Even a trade for Osa like you said would be an "all in" move for us compared to other teams like the stealers or Chiefs where it would 
be a pretty regular move for them.

What rookies (plural) are we “depending” on in 2024?

Mims (maybe)
DTs (as part of a rotation)
Burton (maybe?)
TEs… (maybe).

Honestly, we have always built this team in a way where the rookies are not typically expected to contribute, always planning for a year into the future. This year it is mims for RT next year, Burton for Tee, all for Mike G, DTs are a bit different but Bj is on a one year deal.

So on and so forth, but I would say we are not depending on our rookies. We have a decent blend of vets and youth.
