Some problems have been resolved.
1. Backup QB appears to be resolved. Of course it is early but Dak is an impressive specimen with brains and all of the physical tools needed. I see no reason to add another QB.
2. The secondary looks to be improved. Scandrick is back, Claiborne is playing well. Jones at FS offers hope. Church and Carr are adequate and some of the backups look like they have some skills. I would still like to see premium picks used on SS and CB in the future but the secondary looks much improved.
3. The DT position is better than it is has been in a long time. A very nice rotation with legitimate starters and a lot of players with upside potential.
4. RB of course. Maybe overkill. Will probably have to release a guy that would have been a starting caliber player at this time a year ago. Mcfadden or Dunbar might be gone.
These are all bright spots but the team still has some challenges.
DE - No need to explain
Swing tackle - Chaz Green just doesn't seem to get it.
LB - Outside of Lee this are is a huge concern to me. Hopefully next year we get Jaylon Smith but this year the pantry looks bare. Hopefully someone can emerge especially in the middle. The SAM position isn't impressive either but less of a problem area.
FB - less of a concern but it would be nice to have a legit FB if we are going to be using one with certain packages.
Areas that are less concerning this year but could pose problems in the future.
WR - Williams last year of contract. Will he show up? Can Butler or Street contribute and end up being legit?
TE - despite multiple attempts to use resources for the eventual replacement for Witten no one has really shown the ability to take over when he hangs them up.
No team is loaded at every position but DE and LB are of particular concern. I hope some players can rise to the occasion.
