Do we have enough weapons? Where do we rank, and who’s available to target as a FA?

Thanks for this. I’m most worried about the offensive line, though. Not really sure if they can open holes and keep Dak upright.

If yes then everything else will rate from good to good enough.

Normally when the question, "where do they stack up" is asked there is a reference point. Where do they stack up in the East, or the Conference, for example.

So what are you asking? Which position group is our strongest?

Where do they stack up in the NFL? I’m guessing the top half. If the OL is better, MAYBE top 10.

A lot of question marks
A lot rides on how well Lamb adjusts to his new role and how quickly Gallup gets his wheels fully back. How well will Washington fit in and contribute? Will any or all of the unproven youngsters step up?

TE is adequate if Shultz stays healthy. After him it's pretty thin.

RB is good to go.

If the OL is not strong enough, then it don't matter who is at WR, TE or RB.... the focus should be on the OL at this point. The rest will iron itself out.

Plenty of firepower on the offense. But can the tanks (OL) plow the way further into the playoffs?

We need to see how they play and how they gel as the season goes along. I don't think we will get to see the true OL until game 1. Then there will need to be some adjustments.
3 PS games and we know the starters at any positions will not get much playing time.

With Gallup out a few games and Lamb now going up against the #1 corners it’s an unknown quantity at this time. We don’t know what Tolbert and Washington will add. Too many question marks until we see more.

TE with Shultz returning looks solid .

And pending how Elliott bounces back we shall see if our running game can return to a more dominant presence .

The bigger question marks could be our OL. Smith is already limiting his practice time due to concerns . And until we see what our 1st round pick brings , the left side could be vulnerable . If Martin and or Tyron miss any considerable time all bets are off .

I know and agree that the OL is the ? for the season BUT.... to me its can this Offensive coaching staff figure out how to play EVEN if the O-line is not great..other teams can work around couple holes on the O-line our coaching staff needs to do this....We should not need 5 all pro O line to run an offense.

I agree. OL is a priority. They evidently feel the OL will be much better this year, and since they know more about the team than we do, the OP is based on that assumption.
