Knowing your bloodlust will not be sated with their jobs this year, what steps would you take to return this team to the playoffs in 2019?

Specifically:

1.  Knowing we are picking 7th in the draft, how would you address the QB situation?  Would you go strictly with a veteran QB?  If so, who?  Would you be willing to trade for a vet?  What are you willing to give up to get him?  Would you obtain a veteran QB to be a placeholder and draft a rookie QB?  If so, which veteran and which rookie?  Do you go specifically and primarily with a rookie signal caller?  At what point in the draft do you draft a QB?  Why?  Are you willing to trade up to get him?  If so, how far up are you willing to deal, and what are you willing to give up to get him?

i would wait and pick a QB in rd two if grier is available or someone with good arm strength and accuracy.  Dont know too much about this class besides its weak and everyone i liked in the past 2 drafts at QB have looked good.  I would take the OT Jonah Williams at 7 if available and replace parnell with either Cam moving over to the right or Jonah.....Still upset because im reminded by a KC fan at work everyday about Mahomes because he knew i wanted him and Baker Mayfield is making me look good still till this day.

2.  I have argued the main thing that sabotaged the team this year was injuries, specifically to the offensive line.  NYCJags has argued (not calling him out) the team did not provide sufficient depth along the OL to withstand the carnage to the team we saw this past season.  I believe there is some merit to that argument.  What would you do to fix the OL going into next season?  Keep in mind, Parnell is likely to be gone, and Cann is a free agent.  So you must come out of this offseason with no fewer than two starting caliber OL, and that's not even considering the depth requirements.  Also be mindful of the team's salary cap situation and the need for at least one, maybe two signal callers.  How do you re-stock and upgrade the offensive line and depth?  How many draft picks do you allocate to this area?  Which players would you like to see?  What about the players not leaving but returning from injury like Cam Robinson, Norwell and Linder? 

The left side of the OL is decent but RG and RT need to be addressed and should have been last offseason.  Caldwell needs to go for that alone because we are literally asking the same exact questions as last yr.

3.  What about replacements for departing defensive players like Malik Jackson and Barry Church?  Do you allocate any picks to the defensive side of the ball?  Do you think we have sufficient depth there?  Bryan and Ronnie are decent and we need to trade or cut Malik whichever is cheapest.   We do need another DT for depth tho and either keep wilson for backup SS or go FA.

4.  What about WR and TE?  It seems like it's been forever since we've had a guy who can command a defense's attention from the Y position, and almost as long since we've had a true stud # 1 WR.   How much attention do you give those positions?  Do you put off adequately stocking those positions in the hunt for a QB and stockpiling OL depth and starters?  Still no true #1 same as last offseason and no receiving TE threat.  GET ONE IN THE DRAFT OR FA FOR THE 2ND YEAR IN A ROW.

5.  What do you do at RB?  Do you keep or dump Fournette?  If you desire to trade him away, what is the minimum amount you would take for him in trade?  Do you replace him with Kareem Hunt or allocate a draft pick to replace him?  What about Yeldon's and Grant's replacements? Hate me, but i'll trade fournette to get a playmaker on offense at either TE or WR.....with my minimum being a True Number 1 under 30 or a 1st rounder with a 2nd from us included with fournette. 
RBs can be picked up via the draft and i wanted mixon anyways but politics.  On that note still happy about DEDE but mad we took one women beater and not both.

I respectfully ask for specific detailed responses to these questions.
