If you're investing draft resources to improve the offense, I'd start at O-Line to improve protection, which would improve efficiency, which is Smith's strength.
This team is going to win with an offense that supports the defense.
That is why improving the quality of corners is more imperative than reciever, IMO.

IMO any offense can be explosive if you have the weapons. Matt Cassel ran a top 10 offense with good coaching and elite talent in NE in 2008.
In a WCO, we have a coach to make QB's look better, but we don't have complete weapons. Maclin alone took this offense to another level last year. Charles, Kelce and Maclin are as good of a trio as any in the NFL. Add another good WR (Conley IMO) and we're good to go, especially with an above average OL.
I do agree that you need to have good defenders if you don't have a franchise QB. That's why I want to stack the defense with another CB and pass rushing interior DL with our first 2 picks.
