We need to give Burrow the best we possibly can, and 2/5 of those positions can easily be upgraded through free agency and the draft, and possibly even a third depending on who’s out there.

While there's room for improvement on the OL, the DL and LBs are in worse shape, especially if Lawson leaves. DBs will be in worse shape too if WJ3 leaves. Part of that is scheme though.

All I'm saying is they are averaging over 24 PPG this season with this below average OL, and they may actually get an improved OL by season's end once Williams, XSF, Hopkins, and Hart come back. Jordan actually has competition at LG now with Spain, so I hope they play the better of the two.
They've actually exceeded 30 points in half of their games.
If they had a halfway decent defense, they'd potentially have a winning record right now I believe.

So if you heavily invest in OL upgrades this offseason in FA+draft, you might not get the defensive upgrades you need, and ultimately end up in a worse position for 2021 from a record perspective.
