I get the value we're putting on DE, it's the obvious need and it's a pass-happy league etc etc. But I honestly think we just need "better" not "elite". I'd love a Burns or Allen but at this point I'd take a genuine run stuffing DT and a middling situational pass-rusher.
Combine that with Spags' blitz packages, a solid LB core and, hopefully, an ascending and improved secondary and I honestly think that's plenty.
Unless the cupboard is totally bare at OT, and/or a complete stud DE falls to us, I'd be hard pressed not to invest the first pick on a tackle. R2 I'd be looking for whoever is left at DE who is a pure speed, situational rusher. Can they set an edge? Don't care. I just want juice.
R3 I'm probably going WR as there's a decent chance I'd be letting MVS go. Could absolutely bite me on the arse but I want to keep investing at the position in the draft. R4 I'm going back to DL and looking for basically whatever is left. Assuming there's not much at DE I'd probably prioritise a grotesquely obese run stuffer.
In FA and in line with my "better not elite" approach, which is just as well because there aint much elite next year. I'd be looking at Arden Key if the money wasn't too high, Omenihu as kccrow suggests (I think the SF DL makes him look a little better than he is), honestly probably even the ancient Ingram, or Ximines who seems like he might be having a break-out year for the Giants (kinda relying on PFF on this one so...maybe not).
If all else fails I'd just look at further strengthening at DT with someone like Ioannides, Chris Wormley or Rankins
