We all knew that all team needs couldn't be addressed in 1 draft class, which remain the top priority next yr, barring anything unexpected:

-WR-Brandin Cooks will become a fa and isn't expected to resign at his age. Lamb most likely will receive an extension, the other receivers are more like 4/5 types.
-DT-Osa is a free agent, where it 50/50 at this point if they decide to keep him. Very little behind him, unless someone else emerges.
-RB-they need fresh legs at the position.
-S-Bell becomes a fa, Wilson/Hooker will have I believe 1 yr left on their contracts
-Edge-a lot will depend on how Sam Williams and Kneeland play this season. Never have enough pass rushers.

The plan next season needs to be rebuilt the defensive line like you did the offensive line this draft. If you really want to improve as a team improve the lines.

Couldn't agree more along with adding another wide receiver to replace Cooks.

With Lamb I think you can find a 2019 Michael Gallup on day 2. A guy that might not have #1 traits but can kill 1 on 1's. If there is good value, I wouldn't scoff at a day 1 pick though

3T seems like it would be the early favorite for a day 1 pick. After Odighizuwa, we have nothing except Fehoko. And thats if Fehoko actually becomes a 3T. Pretty barren. Even if we sign Odighizuwa, I wouldn't scoff at a day 1. Teams play out of the 3T on both sides of the line alot

They supposedly have like 10 picks. They should be able to bring in skill players as well. Remember we have CeeDee and Ferguson. You don’t need all stars at the second receiver position.

Weak draft supposedly. If the plan is to move on from Prescott, they will probably retain Rush or Lance as a bridge in 2025 and draft someone in 2026
Lets see, things change
Burrow was not a top 5 QB the year before

The positions with the worst depth in next years draft are interior OL, LB and QB. Of those 3, the only position they could still draft early is LB.

Safety and DT/DE have the most depth this year.

I would draft skill positions early, because they are top heavy. WR/RB. After day 2 their will be role players and upside picks left.

Day 3 throw darts at the defence, they will have 7-8 picks.

No, but teams usually have 2 #1 type receivers and a quality #3. We are going need to serious help at the position, unless someone else emerges.

I also heard rumblings that Zimmer may use Osa as a DE in his scheme. Both DT/WR are priority needs unless someone emerges during the season.

If this is the case, we should be able to address our defense needs next yr.

With all these comp picks forth coming, you would think we can either make some trades prior to the season and before the deadline.

We have had plenty of skill players the last 28 years and won nothing. Not saying we don’t need them but with two alphas, receivers should be the least of our concern.

Teams will look to take out Lamb, need another weapon to open up the passing game

Need offensive linemen to hold up against the pass rush and make holes for our backs. We need defensive linemen to stop the run and rush the passer. KC just won the Super Bowl with an old tight end and no receivers. Mahomes would love to have CeeDee.

So you don't think Tolbert can be a #2? We will see coz I'm pretty sure he will get a chance to win it.

Our OL should be fully rebuild,,offense just needs another skilled player or two, but dl has to be reshaped
