What position groups are still in need of a key contributor and how many total groups??
WR? Yep
TE? Yep
OT? Yep
LB? Yep
Edge? Yep
DT? Yep
OG? Yep
7

How many day one and day two picks do we have?
3

7-3=4

4 what?

4 wins last year that's why we are picking at 5





WE NEED TO TRADE BACK FROM 5


One player isn't gonna do it.

I disagree with this.
For 2021, they only need the following "key contributors":
OG
WR
Arguably TE (I say yes, but maybe Uzomah does come back to performing like he did first two games of 2020)

OT, DE, DT, and LB just need depth/rotational pieces.
OT needs a starter for 2022.
DE needs a rotational piece.
DT needs a rotational guy with Ogunjobi who can potentially start in 2022.
LB could be a (big) target in 2022 if Pratt and Wilson don't take big steps this year, but the organization seems to like what they have in those two and ADG developing.

If you give a monkey throwing darts more darts there is a better chance it hits the target

Eh, there’s also something to be said for having better odds of getting an impact payer the higher you’re picking.
