I didn't at all enjoy how our running game completely stalled late in the season and yeah we could absolutely use more push, and I think they'll invest. But I'd argue that we still managed to be a top 10 offense with a mediocre offensive line. Meanwhile our defense got blasted by the Eagles in the playoffs, and looked vulnerable against Jahmyr Gibbs on the edges before saving the day with a bunch of interceptions.

What can I count on occurring again: Jayden Daniels making our line look better than it is, or our defense coming up with 4 INTs to get us past a team like the Lions? I'll bet on Jayden and put more resources into the defensive edges. I'd argue that edge defender is the biggest priority.
Makes senses…they are gonna address it and I think it gonna be a prong approach unless they make the big move for Garrett. I think they will lean towards a vet who can do both and spend a pick there. Would not be shocked if we see another cowboy vet on a one year deal here…d law
