We need to upgrade some positions, certainly. RG, RT, TE, 2 LB's, and another pass rusher of some kind are at the top of the list. I'm not convinced we're making the best use of our talent in several position groups, though.
The offensive line is bad at run blocking. Mixon routinely reverses field from where the run was called to and makes yards. Routinely.
Also, PFF has an article about how we run more screens to HB than most teams, yet we have the least amount of success. I suspect this factors into their rankings.
