Seriously tho, I'd draft at a minimum 3 offensive lineman this year. I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a WR in the first like the local guys are saying if we deem the guy as a stud #1 option. Zay is probably getting cut and we aren't as deep as people wanna think. It would be bleak next year after kirk and ridley.

Agree with you about drafting several offensive lineman. Wouldn't even object to taking a mauling guard like Taliese Fuaga from Washington in round 1, although he'll likely be unavailable. Fortunately, the best centers like Powers-Johnson and Van Pran are likely to be available in round 2. Right now, I'd sign up for Fuaga and Powers-Johnson and feel like the offensive line would no longer be a problem.

With regards to the receiving group, I believe they will keep Zay Jones despite his injuries this season. He would cost $6.5 million in dead cap money and is still someone Trevor relies on, when healthy. Ridley, on the other hand, will be a tougher decision. He has been very inconsistent on the field and it would be hard to justify paying him top dollar, especially when they'd also lose their 2nd round pick. Kirk, Zay and Engram are more than capable and hopefully someone like Washington or Cooks will show up big these next 3 weeks and earn a lot of playing time in 2024. I'd also draft a speed receiver like Xavier Worthy or Tony Franklin if either player is available in round 2 and then take the center in round 3, even if it requires trading up. After seeing what Tank Dell ( a 2nd rounder) did for the Texans, the importance of adding a true burner is obvious.

Isnt he Oregon St. RT?  Would love for Powers Johnson to be there when we pick in the 2nd but if he has a good combine I dont think he will be there.  It really will depend on their combine.  Jer'Zhan Newton is the guy id really like to land in the first but I dont think he will be there when we pick. He would give us that interior pass rush that we have lacked for years.
