We obviously need a left tackle but if that is out of reach I think a case can be made for the best defensive lineman available in the draft. Think I would rather have the best defensive tackle over the fifth best offensive tackle.
And it would be nice if we got something out of FAU. Veach has done a great job but oddly some of his worst draft mistakes come in the first two rounds.
All this to say that running back is pretty far down my list.

I agree with this. We need to be able to get more pressure out of our front foot with out blitzing. Karlaftis and Jones are our only two consistent at this.
My hope of Omenihu OS back next year after being further removed from his knee injury. I really hope FAU and Thompson develop into good rotation pieces this year.
I’d also like to see Lovett and Ika take over as the run DTs because both can still get some pressure. Then draft a 3 tech to start developing behind Chris Jones. Savion Jones would be a good option with our second or third pick.
