The way I see it is this. I doubt they'll be able to fit and find everything they need this off season. Depending on the next hire. If he's offensive minded and he thinks he can fix most of this with one training camp. You may want more defense. If he's defensive minded. You're probably going in the opposite direction and looking for weapons on offense to mask the fact that you're not very good at that side of the football.

I still think you're going to need to sign an additional receiver, regardless of the draft or any kind of top shelf trade deal being made for a player of Metcalf or Adams' caliber. This team has a void at that position. I think you need to resign Chark, keep Jones and Treadwell. Get Agnew some coaching to tap into his untapped potential he showed last year. Still target a trade, if it's even possible, aim to sign receivers like Mike Williams, Chris Godwin, Allen Robinson, Will Fuller & Michael Gallup. Still target a receiver in the draft whether that's Dotson, London, Burks, Bell or Ross, etc. 

They need to make sure they leave no doubt in 2022 that they tried everything they could for Lawrence. At least on paper the fans and media can say they tried. I know some people were not a fan of me saying this previously but I am throwing a [BLEEP] TON of money at Chandler Jones if he's on the market. I am also looking at bringing back Calais Campbell on a one year deal and possibly Randy Gregory if Dallas can't keep him during the market's opening. 

They need to walk out of free agency and the draft with:

1. A pair of top caliber pass rushers or a combination of top caliber and mid to above average play.
2. A pair of top caliber receivers with maybe one of them being a threat out of the slot. 
3. A pair of top caliber offensive lineman with one being capable of pushing Taylor out of his job at RT and/or keeping Little's progression up at LT this summer. 
4. A compliment to Dan Arnold at the tight end position to give Lawrence a pair of safety blankets. 
5. At least one runningback that can be ready to go with Robinson and Etienne still on the mend and coming back from significant injuries at the position. Ideally Conner or Edmonds from Arizona. 

Those are the primary points to hit in this off season. I would add linebacker to the mix but this class doesn't really stand out to me. They could maybe look at someone like Chad Muma, Quay Walker or Mike Rose late in the draft to play inside. Maybe Nolan Smith or Jack Campbell to play outside. Just not a very deep linebacker class in my opinion. At least not where we'll be slotted in the draft value wise.

If we could get Armstead and Chandler Jones like you said in FA then I would have no problem trading the first pick for Metcalf, I think DK is one of the best WRs in the league but we have so many needs and we could get a our book end tackle or the pass rusher opposite of Josh Allen with the first pick and get our WRs in the draft and FA like a Mike Williams who is a damn good WR
