I'd love a solid DE or OT but realistically our DL needs support all across it, I really wouldn't hate it we drafted a DT late in the first.
There's so many what ifs. What if we'd snagged Travis Jones this year, that one stung but he's getting no snaps on a loaded Ravens DL so who knows.

It would sure be nice to see another WR emerge and/or slide.
Because a LOT of last weeks struggles on offense were due to the WR corps. They just weren't getting separation. On re-watch, the OL was better than I saw in real time. And the WRs were significantly worse.
We've spent 2 seasons trying to load up on speed on defense in the draft (wisely so, IMO). Well in the process the offense has started to look quite a bit slower. I just don't see a single guy on the field most of the time who you can count on to beat man coverage. I mean, Kelce - but even Kelce's not quite the YAC monster he was 2-3 years ago as he's gotten a little slower with age.
They appear to recognize the need to get CEH and McKinnon involved in the passing game. That can help because both guys can force teams into zones a bit more often. But right now I think the best pure man-beater in the WR group is actually Justin Watson. MVS takes too long to get up to speed. Hardman doesn't appear to have the route-running ability. JJSS is just too slow. Moore isn't seeing the field.
I'd honestly think really hard about making Watson my starting X receiver right now because there's just no threat on the backside of plays.
