Top priority obviously has to be the best free agent LT that We can afford unless Humphrey really surprises. We will see how that goes in the playoffs. Giving up a lot of draft capital for a LT like we did with Orlando Brown should also be an option whether it’s via trade or moving way up in the draft.
We will not be able to pay Smith so will need a change at guard but likely already have good replacement options on the roster. We will be more than sat at receiver, even if rice doesn’t fully come back. I expect both brown and Hopkins will be happy to stay here on reasonable contracts same with juju. No one else wanted him. Hope we can get another year out of Kelsey, but if not, gray played very well this year. We should be able to keep our current RB slate, and maybe in the mid rounds try to draft a speedster. Several come up every year, we just haven’t gone after one.
On defense, we should try to resign read and Bolton, but not if they want too much. We can replace both and still have a top defense, and I think our offence is going to be really superb next year. Worthy might make all pro.
